ARM porting jam on Wednesday

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

Dear ARM fans,

Linaro Developer Platform team organises every week an ARM porting Jam.
Next one will be on Wednesday 11th April (we moved from Friday cause
weekend does not help in remembering which patches are still to send
upstream).

The idea is to gather all developers together to fix user space
portability issues across the board.

There are several things to work on:

- the list of bugs being worked on is at launchpad [1] with more useful
web interface at [2]

1.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=arm-porting-queue&orderby;=-id
2.
http://people.linaro.org/~rsalveti/arm-porting-queue/arm-porting-queue-report.html

- list from 'make multiarch cross-building work' process which is
described at [3][4] with logfiles available at [5] - now that the
release is close non-trivial fixes should rather go into Debian than
Ubuntu. As this is cross compiler related you do not even have to use
ARM devices.

- You can also help with libffi related issues if you can - list is
available at Debian wiki [6]
