Some minor edit might of the page would be useful:
1. In the 'background' paragraph, in the sentence beginning 'I gave a
talk', the 'I' is unclear. Paul?
2. The link to pci-device-reservations.txt is broken
3. I can't quite figure out the last line under 'Build and Test' -
should it be 2 bullet points?

Also, could I get write access to the wiki? :-)

Jon

[Vote Summary] Windows PV Drivers Incubation Project Proposal Approved

[Lars Kurth]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3460 bytes --]

Hi all,

this proposal 
(http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Windows_PV_Drivers_Incubation_Project_Proposal) 
has gone through with 5 votes in favour and no objections.

There were a few minor text changes which Jon Ludlum proposed which 
don't block us from moving forwand and we also still have some lose ends 
about namespaces (e.g. exact repo name, mailing list names, etc.).

I had discussed this with Paul Durrant initially and will follow up with 
him tomorrow.

1:    We need to tie down the official name in line with trademark rules 
(this has come up at the board meeting)

         To comply with trademark rules, the official name needs to be 
"Xen Project ABC", e.g.
         "Xen Project Windows Drivers" or "Xen Project Windows PV Drivers"
         Personally I think shorter is better as it will sound better in 
press releases and other communication

2:    Tie down list name, aka. ABC-devel@...

         I had suggested win-pv-devel@lists.xenproject.org for the 
mailing list (to keep it shorter than windows-pv-drivers-devel@) and 
Paul likes the idea
         On the other hand, if we go for the shorter project name maybe 
win-drivers-devel@... is better as more consistent

3:    Tie down git repo namespace. As this proposal has been approved 
first, it will set the precedence for 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Embedded_and_Automotive_PV_Drivers_Project_Proposal

         What was discussed in the thread related to automotive was: 
git://xenbits.xen.org/pvdrivers/* as a root for all driver repos making 
locating driver repos easier
         Slightly shorter and more consistent is 
git://xenbits.xen.org/drivers/*, if we went for "Xen Project Windows 
Drivers"as name
         Whatever the root is, we should probably chose 
git://xenbits.xen.org/pvdrivers/win/*.git or 
git://xenbits.xen.org/drivers/win/*.git for the 5 proposed git repos

Timing of launch and creation of infrastructure still need to be worked 
out, once we agree on the details above. My suggestion would be to amend 
the proposal after I talked to Paul.

We briefly discussed at the Advisory Board meeting yesterday and it 
would make sense to tie this into a "momentum press release" and time it 
with the retiring of the ARM and PVOPS subprojects on the grounds that 
they achieved their project goals of establishing themselves firmly as 
core parts of the Hypervisor and Linux. But we have to carefully message 
this to avoid confusion. I had discussed this with Stefano and Konrad, 
who agree in principle. We also need to look at other upcoming PR for 
Mirage OS 2.0 (mid July), XAPI 2.0 (TBD) and "load balance".

Best Regards
Lars
