=== ARM Status  ===
Kernel development: nothing new to report.
Oneiric/ti-omap4: during the last TI call we got to know that _perhaps_ we will get a 3.0 kernel for the O cycle. Still not 100% sure and no ETA yet. Linaro already has a .39 kernel but it doesn't boot on my panda (while it seems it works ok with a linaro 
hwpack if device tree is disabled).
Gcc 4.6 and omap usb: lp#791552 has been confirmed as a kernel upstream bug, thus until we get a proper fix and as long as we us gcc 4.6, we loose usb across all the omap* targets. So far all the proposed workarounds didn't help.

=== Blueprints: Oneiric Delta Review  ===
apw, lag, manjo, ralveti, rtg: you have work items to review your set of Ubuntu patches which I've postponed to Alpha-2 for you. Please take a moment to review when you have a chance. See 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/KernelOneiricUbuntuDeltaReview for your specific set of patches.

=== Blueprints: Oneiric Server Requirements  ===
Was able to get some domUs started  with Oneiric as dom0. Some strange problem to follow-up on when having xenconsole and console on a serial line. Also need to file a bug to get blkback and netback loaded when the system gets started as dom0. Otherwise 
there is a strange effect when starting the domUs.

=== Status: General Oneiric  ===
We uploaded the 3.0-1.2 Ubuntu kernel last week.  This was rebased on the upstream v3.0-rc3 release.  Alpha-2 is also approaching, ie Thurs June 30.  That means we'll likely upload our final Alpha-2 kernel this Friday June 24th.  If there are any patches 
that need to land in Alpha-2, get them sent to the kernel-team mailing list asap.

=== Status: Stable Kernel Team  ===

=== Open Discussion or Questions: Raise your hand to be recognized  ===
ogasawara:
  * bjf, the links you post at the start of the meeting still reference Natty, should be Oneiric
   * Noted and fixed.
  * The bug stats we post each meeting, are those useful to anyone other than myself?  Would it suffice to just post the link to the stats?
sconkline:
  * I have the same question about kernel versions in the meeting - is posting th elink just as useful?
   * The elink is more appropriate in that case
