Meeting Agenda]]


=== ARM Status  ===
  R/master: nothing new this week.
  R/omap4: verified that pvr-omap4 doesn't work with our multiplatform 
3.8 kernel,
  i'm waiting input if we can drop the omap4 dekstop image.
  R/nexus7: ported overlayfs from P (lp1076317) - awaiting testing from a
  brave soul since my nexus7 is borked ATM (lp1126836).
