Engineering Strategy results, next steps

http://linaro.co/tKIvB

[Martin] make this as a snapshot every six months or keep it as a live doc? Review this at Connect in the strategy meeting.

• [Linda] better keep snapshots

• [David] keep it live and publish snapshots anyway for reference. Use Connect to discuss / review the big changes, do minor changes in the live doc while getting ready before Connect

[Martin] server arch, SDI etc are all in line with the priority voting. Ceph has gone lower in priority

• [Larry] as said multiple times, Ceph is a success and it is time now to pass it over to the Ceph community

• [Jon] this prioritization is based on where we are now and not based on our priorities as if we were to start now. Ceph is lower not because we do not care but because it is mature and LEG needs to invest less

[Jon] didn’t Oracle release their source code for Java? Andrew Haley @RH looked at the code and his feedback is that so far the code is not any magically better than OpenJDK.

• [Jeff] Oracle may still be keeping some secret sauce separate from the open source code

LEG KPI for 2017

At connect, LEG will launch KPI for engineering activities.  These will cover patches.linaro.org, jira metrics and lava based ci.

Continuation of 0-Day and kernel.ci

This is in response to the email by Huxinwei about setting up 0-Day for ARM. Martin/Alan replied to the thread explaining that Kernel.ci also spotted the same bug and a fix was already in the pipe. So kernel.ci does cover similar purpose.

If LEG wanted to invest in 0-day, we would need hw as well as resources.

[Linda] kernel.ci is working fine. What is the exact proposal? Do we need more hw for kernel.ci to cover ARM servers?

• [Martin] yes, will formalise the proposal and circulate
