From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Arnout Vandecappelle Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 22:17:18 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] Report of Buildroot Developer Days FOSDEM 2016 Message-ID: <56BA575E.40007@mind.be> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Hi all, Last week Monday and Tuesday we had the Buildroot Developer Days. You can find a report on the wiki [1]. The main discussion point at this meeting was the launch of the Buildroot Foundation, a not-for-profit to support buildroot. Maxime Hadjinlian is handling the paperwork as we speak. Once the dust settles, you can expect another announcement about how you can become a member of the Foundation. Other important discussion points: - Participation in GSoC. There is a wiki page [2] to gather the ideas. Deadline for proposals is February 19. - On the testing front, no progress has been made except that the continuous builds of the defconfigs have moved to Travis CI [3]. - We have clarified the license of package patches [4]. There also has been work on improving the relocatable toolchain support (a new patch series has been posted) and on musl/gettext handling (this has been merged). But we haven't done as much hacking as usual. Also the list of pending patches is still over 300. Our next events are the Buildroot Summer Camp in Toulouse beginning of July, and the Buildroot Developer Meeting after ELC-E in Berlin on October 8 and 9. But before that, don't forget to join the Buildroot Foundation!
