[Linaro] Release Meeting 2011-12-02

[Fathi Boudra]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

 * Developer Platform planning for 11.12 is available on
   http://launchpad.net/linaro-dev-platform/+milestone/11.12
 * Quite a few fixes for multi-arch, to enable cross-build of Firefox,
   progress availble on the blueprint
   https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-ubuntu/+spec/push-multiarch-changes-for-cross-precise
 * libjpeg-turbo: finished building all the packages that depends on
   libjpeg-dev, and published the benchmark results comparing both libjpeg and
   libjpeg-turbo (https://wiki.linaro.org/TomGall/LibJpeg8).
   Next step is to enable v8 compatibility and push the new package at Ubuntu

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams ==

 * libjpeg-turbo: now that Alpha 1 is out, LJT should be pushed to replace
   the normal libjpeg package. Work to be tracked by the blueprint
   https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/replace-libjpeg-by-libjpeg-turbo
 * U-Boot-Linaro: we're planning to rebase it on top of U-Boot 2011.12, enable
   SPL for OMAP 3, and will also try to enable one SPL for both OMAP 3 and
   OMAP 4 (to merge both omap and omap 4 images). This work should be completed
   at the end of Linaro 11.12 cycle, so if all goes well we'll propose the
   new package to be included in January.
 * i.MX53 kernel for ARMHF architectue.
 * Even more fixes for multi-arch, until we're able to cross compile firefox.

== Summary of bugs working on by team ==
