      = also makes sense now to use upstream qemu for all archs
        (following Debian) rather than using qemu-linaro for non-x86:
        reasons for using q-l in Ubuntu now mostly fixed (ie upstream
        ARM support no longer dire). Ubuntu will carry omap3 patches
        to avoid dropping that feature in the changeover

        also will want Ubuntu to transition to a more stably released
        and supported QEMU codebase to use for KVM-on-ARM-servers

I'm happy with that as:
 * One project for all arches is best
 * Linaro QEMU has a more bleeding edge approach than Linaro GCC
 * Upstream QEMU has a nice, short release cycle
 * We have a daily builds PPA

I'd like to add our monthly releases to a PPA for those who want to pick it up.

   + KVM Testing plans
      = worked through a list of things that would be nice to test;
        useful feedback from people in the session about what matters.
        Missing: specific commitment by anybody to write tests :-)

This is our (yet to be met) QA team.  FYI, I've archived the Etherpad notes out at:
