Meeting Agenda]]



=== ARM Status ===
Q/omap4: a new Q/omap4 3.5 kernel is out (3.5.0-211.18) and it contains:
* fixes for /dev/rtc
* an updated kernel rebased on Ubuntu-3.5.0-15.22
/dev/rtc was the last item on my todo list: we are feature complete and
work is concentrating on squashing bugs and closing tickets from now on.
