* Attended Linaro Connect; notable sessions:
+ Ubuntu plans for QEMU for Ringtail release
= upstream qemu has merged qemu-kvm back in so
Ubuntu will switch to qemu from qemu-kvm for x86
= 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
= makes sense for Linaro too as we now have an automated
package-to-PPA setup for people who need bleeding-edge and
also will want Ubuntu to transition to a more stably released
and supported QEMU codebase to use for KVM-on-ARM-servers
+ 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 :-)
