Changes to Firmware Test Suite this week:
* 7 Additional tests:

* WMI: inspect DSDT for WMIs and dump out WMI methods and events (for hotkeys).
* lid: interactive lid event detection test.
* Other improvements + fixes:
* klog scanning: use pcre rather than glibc regex.
* Improved progress feedback (-p, --show-progress).
* mtrr: check for MTRR config of VGA regions by BIOS.
* mttr: fix prefetchable region detection bug
* Add batch or interactive modes of testing.
* Include 800+ example klog errors to test against.
=== Status: Maverick ===
We uploaded a last minute linux-2.6.35-6.8 Alpha2 kernel on Sunday to resolve [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/597904|Bug 597904]] which was a blocker for building Alpha2 arm images. We will essentially be uploading a 0-day Alpha2 kernel, linux-2.6.35-6.9, to
resolve [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/588861|Bug 588861]]. I've been given the green light to upload it late Wed. We currently have it uploaded to our kernel-ppa as an interim solution.
All of our team's Alpha2 work items are complete, so good job everyone. Alpha 3 is Thurs Aug 5th which is a little over a month away. Please review the list of work items for Alpha 3:
=== ARM Status ===
* Marvel (mvl-dove):
* Nothing new this week.
* Freescale (fsl-imx51):
* Nothing new this week.
* Texas Instruments (ti-omap):
* In Maverick, cooloney prepared a branch which includes some ASoC audio and other fixes for git pull.
* Bugs:
* cooloney went through the omap bug list, located [[https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap|here]]. Closed a bug to won't fix. Nothing new on other bugs.

||abogani2 ||I would want only inform you that I placed -lowlatency and -realtime kernel on Zinc and in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa) for review. Ever if anyone have time and chance to do it. ;-)||
||kamal ||regarding bug 594837 ...||
||ubottu ||Launchpad bug 594837 in linux (Ubuntu) "Lucid SRU: Intel Core i3/i5/i7 hang on resume from suspend (SCI_EN)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/594837||
||kamal ||still no response to the patch I submitted to stable at kernel.org 14 days ago:||
||kamal ||[PATCH] ACPI: Unconditionally set SCI_EN on resume||
||kamal ||should we continue to wait, or move forward with a Lucid SRU, or something else?||
||smb ||kamal, Greg seems to have re-surfaced recently||
||smb ||kamal, But you might re-ask||
||maks_ ||stable was on vacation.||
||kamal ||maybe I'll give it another week then, thanks.||
||lag ||I'd like to request that the ARM Status item is brought forward i.e. placed nearer the top of the agenda. Otherwise; if the meeting goes on longer than 45-60mins I will be unable to present the item as I have to leave imminently for 'other
things'. :)||
||bjf ||lag, i have no problem with that||
||bjf ||lag, i'll make it so||
||lag ||I don't want to tread on anyone's toes||
||bjf ||lag, it was an arbitrary decision on my part, i can change it||
||lag ||Great, thanks||
