[sw-eco] q2e11 firmware for 8.1.2 ECO

[Greg Smith]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the details!

Can you post this to a page using the format and naming convention of 
this one: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SW-ECO_5

The next free number is 6.

Michael,

Is there one SW ECO page for the whole release or do we have a separate 
SW ECO page for every change or related set of changes?

I'm wondering how I get SD Card corruption work 
(http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6532) and other things for 8.1.2 folded in.

Kim,

Do we have agreement (AKA you have decided you want one :-) that we will 
do a release 8.1.2?

If so I will add it to Releases page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases 
and we can start tracking its status. I like to put the following on 
that page for each release:

Status:
Primary Maintainer:
Release Notes: [URL]
ECO: [URL]
Primary objectives:
Lead Customer:
Build Name and URL: [when available]
Schedule: [URL when available]

Fill tell me anything you know already.

Thanks,

Greg S
