Updated attendee list:
Confirmed:
1) Nicolas Pitre - arm-soc tree maintainer
2) Arnd Bergmann - arm-soc tree maintainer
3) Olof Johansson - tegra maintainer
4) David Brown
5) Marek Vasut - Various pxa boards maintainer
6) Ohad Ben-Cohen
7) Sascha Hauer
8) Paul Walmsley
9) Catalin Marinas
10) Kukjin Kim - Samsung SoC maintainer
11) Kyungmin Park - Samsung SoC maintainer
12) Mark Brown - ASoC maintainer
13) Grant Likely

Waiting for confirmation:
14) Pavel Machek
15) Eric Miao - pxa/mmp maintainer
I guess Eric won't come, since he and I have to attend UDS in US just
the week after ELC-E and KS.

I suggest Barry Song (CSR SoC maintainer) to join the party and share
some information to us when he come back to Shanghai.

Thanks,
-Bryan
16) Haojian Zhuang - pxa/mmp maintainer
17) Nicolas Ferre - Atmel maintainer
18) Will Deacon - ARM engineer

Nominates, but haven't responded personally:
19) Russell King
20) Lennert Buytenhek
21) Marc Zyngier
22) Linus Walleji

We're pretty close to filling up. ?Is there anyone else I should include?

Agenda proposals (Thanks to Nicolas and Olof):
- DT bindings for GPIO and pin mux
- the pin mux subsystem from linusw (especially if it is still RFC by
?then)
- progress with the single zImage work
- presentation/status of the DMA and memory management work wrt CMA
?(some SOC specific hacks should go away once this is available)
- DT porting progress
- boot architecture status
- Report from Arnd on experiences from first arm-soc merge window
?- what worked well and where's room for improvement?
?- Any particular SoC workflow that should be tuned to make his life easier?
?- Where are the gaps where he needs help right now?
?- How did it work out for the SoC maintainers?

Still accepting more proposals. ?Send me the topics you are burning to discuss.

Hi all,

It looks like there is definitely enough interest on this, so we're
going ahead and scheduling a workshop for the first day of kernel
summit. ?Space is limited however, so I need to assemble a confirmed
attendee list. ?It looks like we've got room for about two dozen
people.

So, if you are an ARM subarchitecture maintainer (or generally
involved with ARM maintainership) and you want to attend, then please
email me ASAP. ?Attendance confirmation will be first come, first
serve. ?Here is the list of people that I'm holding a space for
because they have already expressed interest. ?If you are on this list
then please let me know in the next week whether or not you are still
able to attend. ?Also, if you think of anyone who really needs to be
there, but isn't on this list, then email me to nominate them. ?I'll
add any nominations to this list and contact them individually.

Nicolas Pitre
Arnd Bergmann
Olof Johansson
Eric Miao
David Brown
Mark Vasut
Ohad Ben-Cohen
Sascha Hauer
Paul Walmsley
Pavel Machek
Catalin Marinas

I'm also collecting a topic list, but I'll email that out later when
I've had a chance to collate it. ?Please continue to send me topics
you would like to see on the agenda.

As many of you know, Kernel Summit this year will be a three day
event, with the first day dedicated to kernel subsystem workshops[1].
Since Kernel Summit will be co-located with ELC-E which my arm
developers will be attending, it is the perfect opportunity to have an
ARM maintainers meeting. ?Arnd Bergmann, Nicolas Pitre and I talked
about it at Linaro Connect this past week and we're going to work on
organising something.

However, for it to be successful we need to put together a draft
agenda quickly. ?Kernel summit is only 80 days away, and people need
time to get approval and organise travel. ?So, if you're interested in
attending, then we need to know ASAP. ?Reply to this email if you're
interested.

We also need proposals for discussion topics relevant to ARM,
particularly if it relates to all arm sub-architectures or the
maintainership process. ?I'll collate the list of proposals that I
receive and try to put together an agenda.

As already mentioned, the first day (Sunday Oct 23) is dedicated to
workshops, and I think that most of the discussion topics will be
covered on that day. ?The invite-only core developers meeting is on
the second day (Oct 24) which a few people will be involved with. ?For
the rest of the group I'm considering organizing it as a hacking day
to start sorting out problems identified/discussed on the first day.
The third and final day will be plenary sessions open to participants
of all workshops.
