SW Dev meeting minutes, 6/26/07

[Kim Quirk]

SW meeting Minutes:

We went through open issues that affect Trial-2 feature freeze; then
discussed some blocking bugs

* Ivan discussed the activation feature - it fell behind as we are trying to
sort out the updates; but he believes he can still get a minimum activation
feature into the release over the next few days. He will touch base with J5
and Blizzard on changes that are coming or might be done in userland init so
that won't affect activation. He is also waiting on hardware to test crypto
and keys. Hopefully he and Mitch will make progress on this next week when
Mitch is at 1CC.
* CJB provided an update on Suspend/Resume - the code that Marcelo and
Marvell got working in CA last week hasn't been working at 1CC. Marvell and
Cozybit are still working on this but it is difficult to get the systems
that show the problem in the same room as the people trying to fix it. Mitch
suggested trying to completely replicate the nand image from the one that
shows the problem and send it out to Marvell.
* J5 mentioned that he is getting ogg files and streaming video to work
soon. FC7 is done and he is doing a build tonight with latest sugar,
telepathy, and AMD driver for x server.
* Bernie mentioned that there is a bug with x that looks pretty bad. It may
be an upstream problem in which case we may want to revert the x server.
* We agreed that gamepad buttons rotating with screen rotation can be a
future feature - not necessary for Trial-2. It is important to 'stop'
checking in code that belongs to a future release so we can stablize this
code base. So please don't check in new features or big  new chunks of code
if we don't know it is coming. (Especially by the end of this week).
* Ivan mentioned that we might want to pull master into the vserver branch
and test out of that one (I'll try to follow up on this just so I understand
it, since it might not have been jg's expectation - we don't need too many
surprises for when he returns). Andres has been ill so there hasn't been
much kernel work in the last few days.
* Scott reported that he has been looking at IPv6 and DNS for the school
server. We will need to reset expectations on what can be delivered as
school server support for Trial-2 since I don't believe there has been any
resources available for this.

* We went through some blocking bugs owned by people on the call and they
are moving along.
* Mitch warned that the suspend resume issues may still require EC change.
* Mitch and Ivan will be working on 'real' school server firmware and some
of the related security issues next week.

Thanks everyone!
Kim
