There is a lot of interest in having another ARM mini-summit, as we had last
year. Previously, Grant Likely organized this with Olof and me, but right now
Grant is in an extended offline period and Olof is currently on vacation
as well. Will Deacon already contacted me and he is interested in helping
out with organizing the mini-summit, so the two of us could be the primary
contacts, with Grant and Olof joining in as time permits.

I'm planning to send out an initial email to potential participants today
or tomorrow to get an idea of who would be joining. Do you have an upper
limit to the number of people that you expect a mini-summit? I think we
could easily get 30 or more people that want to come, but we can also
restrict it to a smaller size.

I'm definitely interested in attending this.

Same here. The previous incarnation of the mini-summit was very
successful, and I would be very interested in attending another one.

It's not like we're having any shortage of things to discuss these days...
;-)

Thanks,

I would be interested in attending it as well. I believe Stefano has a strong
interest as well (since he and Ian Campbell are leading the Xen ARM work).

And Stefano is out on vacation right now so I will serve as his phantom voice
and say: "Yes, I am interested as well."

Ok. So are you mostly interested in discussion ARM virtualization or other topics
as well? Last time we had organized this explicitly as the "ARM subarch maintainer
summit" and we might again limit the participants to the subarch maintainers and
a few more people if we're running out of space, but then again if a lot of them
are interested in discussion virtualization, we should probably have you both and 
the ARM KVM people included as well.

We haven't even started discussing an agenda, but I'll note down your names as
candidates and Xen and/or KVM as proposed topics. I'll follow up with a more
formal call for topics once I have a positive confirmation from James and the
linux-foundation that we can go ahead with the ARM mini-summit.

More on the virtualization side. If you are getting close to no space, take me
off the roll but please include Stefano on it.

I found the ARM mini-summit last year to be valuable.  I'm definitely
interested.

Because of the location, I think there should be a good turnout of
Qualcomm kernel devs at plumbers, if anyone wants to meet anyone,
that'd be a good time.

Putting on my KVM/ARM hacker hat this time: I'd be very glad to contribute
to the discussion. There is a number of ARM-specific topics that would be
interesting to discuss regarding KVM/ARM (mainlining the damn thing, common
hypercalls?, HYP mode booting), and probably a couple of other things.

Cheers,

        M.

Perhaps a mini-summit on ARM virtualization, too? Xen Summit is also
co-located.

That's right: the hypercall calling convention, notifications from the
hypervisor via GIC, the boot process and device tree for virtual
hardware are all interesting topics to discuss.
