You can find the report on the wiki: http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysELCE2014#Discussion_topics_and_report Some highlights: * We mainly used this time to clean up patchwork. We didn't keep exact statistics, but the number of patches was reduced from roughly 350 to roughly 250, and a significant number of patches have been reviewed and/or reposted. * There were a few important large series that were discussed and eventually applied. * We have taken a decision on how to deal with atomic operations, with missing license files, with march/mcpu/mtune conflicts, and we have decided to leave the package name out of patch file names. Some of these things have been implemented, some are still to do. * We discussed the GSoC project which wasn't successful this year. We'll try again next year. If there is any further point of discussion or a conclusion that you don't agree with, feel free to start a discussion here on the list or on IRC.
