Yoshi!

++ Testing

* Progress in the VM with kernelci
** Have browser on host able to view kernelci pages
** Some work (not yet complete) on getting  this setup to happen on 
provisioning of the vm).
** Investigating issues with retrieving the build artifacts.
** Installing of lava2 on the vm

* Added a project in Gitlab.com to mirror the kernelci front end repository.

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/ciptesting

++ Other topics

* Robert Marshall, that is currently working on the kernelci VM will be 
at FOSDEM, like myself.

++ Next Tasks

* In the coming days CIP kernel will update from 4.4.30 to 4.4.37 Once 
we have testing in place it will make sense to test every release and 
update as soon as is everything ok from our side.

* Keep working on the kernelci VM

* Patches review/merge

Best Regards
