[cip-dev] Update 2017week10: kernel maintenance / kernel testing

[Agustin Benito Bethencourt]

Dear CIP friends,

as you know we released the beta version of Board at desk - Single dev 
on Feb 22nd a little before the CIP at ELC. It was announced through 
this mailing list.

That day we also communicated the first draft of the kernel maintenance 
policies Ben H. published on our wiki[1]. The policies are an extension 
from the current Linux kernel ones, having our use case in mind.

Christos Karamitsos has been of a great help in order to solve some 
technical issues during the past few weeks, working full time to help 
Don Brown to solve them. Thanks Christos. Robert Marshall is back in the 
team to focus the coming weeks in preparing the 1.0 release, 
substituting Christos. Welcome back again Robert.

Ben H. will be helping us in shaping the VM for his needs as kernel 
maintainer the coming days. He is coming to our HQ in Manchester, UK for 
this purpose.

Based on the feedback received after the beta release, we have added 
some features requests in our ticket system[3]. I will be processing 
them this week.

After FOSDEM, OS Leadership Summit and ELC, including the beta release, 
we will go back this Friday to our bi-weekly report about the technical 
activities related with kernel maintenance and testing.
