Meeting Agenda]]


=== ARM Status  ===
 Q/omap4: Ubuntu-3.4.0-201.6 is out, restoring linux-tools package.
 Q/master: omap3 support from master branch was restored (boards can
boot and i/o works fine). Unfortunately, framebuffer support is still
broken (if we compile it in, we got a WARN() dur
 ing boot and no output).

=== Status: Quantal Development Kernel  ===
 We have recently uploaded the 3.4.0-4.10 Quantal kernel.  This most
 notable enables the new highbank kernel flavor.  We also did extensive
 rework to the kernel configs in this upload.  We are currently prepping
 a last minute upload for fixes to bugs 1008905 and 1009061.  After that
 we are entering a soft freeze for the Alpha-1 release on Thursday.  Only
 critical bug fixes for the release will warrant another upload.
