Mitch, Richard, Zephaniah, Jim, Jordan, Vance, David, Luna, Wad, Andres, 
Kim, ...

http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap is now active - it is reachable from the 
front page of the wiki.
Check it for current status on upcoming builds.  This is now the master 
schedule.

B4 Firmware (Richard, Mitch, David):
  EC code is nearly ready with wlan resume.  Richard to submit patches 
to David.
  David will support two types of batteries, 3700 mA-H and 3000 mA-H.
  We will do a firmware release candidate tonight with Richard's EC code.
  David Lin will release an EC candidate on Taiwan end of day.
  Mitch will merge new EC release tomorrow and make a new firmware 
release candidate.

B4 OS candidate:
  Need OS release candidate by tomorrow - jg to transfer responsibility 
to j5
  AI: jg to expand B4 milestone to list what is in the OS release

USB resume does not work in master.


Generic battery class - cjb to create a patch to propagate the battery 
state change
SCIs via HAL to userspace.  Trial-2.  The problem statement in the bug 
report is
misleading; it really isn't all that bad.

Blocker bugs:

663 - jg expects to have the keysyms added by tomorrow afternoon

1276 gamepad buttons - need to have it done by this week (Olin Game Jam)

1388 - > closed

1500 - Andres will get to it tomorrow

1504 - defer to Trial 2

1555 - needs kernel support   embedded-controller > kernel

1562 - kernel support in progress   embedded-controller > kernel

1594 - fixed  (kernel may still be losing SCI interrupt - need new trac)

1595 - done

1640 - not our domain

1645 - fixed
  Brickage was probably pilot error.  Keyboard problems could be either 
firmware deficiencies
  (probably fixed in Q2C15), or possible mechanical cable crimp.

1263 - fixed


Zephaniah - hopes to get rotation working by end of week
     evdev work targeted to Xorg 1.4

Jordan - we are a long way from getting AMD driver working with 1.4
