Communication
Meetings
We normally communicate with google hangout. We also have an IRC channel on freenode - #linaro-bigdata. Please feel free to join. You can reach out and ask questions anytime. Of Course you can email too. All the calls are either google hangout calls or bluejeans conference calls. We use google docs extensively and only use google docs for all over communication and presentations.
Mailing Lists
We have a mailing list for bigdata team. Please subscribe to it.
https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-bigdata
We also communicate via email on the leg-bigdata@linaro.org mailing list.
You can use this mailing for reaching out to the team on any topic.
There is another mailing list which you are now subscribed to as well: team-leg@linaro.org.
This mailing list is where we communicate with the rest of LEG, across the teams. This mailing list is also used by assignees and employees to send their weekly reports. Martin and Linaro management read this to follow the progress. I would encourage you to also use this mailing list, once you feel you are up to speed.

Project Management
Work tracking
All our work will be tracked against a JIRA. Any new work should always have an associated JIRA, if not, new JIRA card needs to be created. Most of the JIRA cards are created by me. But, you are welcome to create new one, but please keep me informed. JIRA follows the below structure:
--->Story
-->Epic
->Initiative
Every JIRA card is a story at the lowest level. Stories can have multiple stories associated to it. Linaro management and Steering committee closely watch at Initiative and Epic level. Stories can be at developer's own detail level.
All the current JIRA cards can be found at:

Meetings
Every Thursday as you are already aware, we have team meeting to discuss status. OpenJDK team will pulled in as and when necessary.
Every Monday night (7PM PST, Tuesday morning for India and China team), we have a sync meeting with ARM China team. I will invite you for this as well.
As and when required, 1-on-1 meeting can be setup.
