Meeting Agenda]]



=== ARM Status ===
Q/omap4: a new Q/omap4 3.5 kernel was uploaded yesterday
(3.5.0-208.14) and
a
new one that includes all the patches that went into tilt-3.4[1] after i

started my porting is being worked on.
Hopefully this new one (3.5.0-209.15 [2]) will be the last one before
beta1,

and it should fix the hangs rsalveti experiences with pvr-omap4.

We've recently uploaded the 3.5.0-11.11 Quantal kernel to the release

upstream stable release. This was also uploaded to the q-lts-backport
[1] PPA to help facilitate testing of the 12.10 kernel in 12.04. We
welcome anyone to please install, test, and let us know your feedback.
