Hi all,

Thanks all for joining!

Kaviraj: my apologies -- when someone new joins we do a round of
introductions at the beginning of the meeting, but this time we did it
at the end (but you had already left). If you join next meeting, I
will make sure we do the introductions first! :-)

Updated schedule:

  - We are still targeting the 5th for the RFC. We can delay a week if
we feel it is needed.

  - We will be adding a few things to the RFC:
    + Some of the PRs in the queue.
    + ppc64le support.
    + Binder & a couple rust/kernel/ pieces for it.
      * This does not necessarily mean Binder will go in the merge
window -- it is more to show in the RFC how an actual working module
looks like.
    + Move/split of "Rust example".
    + Kernel docs to be uploaded.
    + Unstable feature list to be updated.

Other topics & news discussed:

  - Wedson joined as a maintainer!

  - RFC:
    + The patches' split (preparation, Rust support, Binder).
    + Attribution, git-blame, kernel process, etc.

  - `alloc`:
    + We will likely end up with our own equivalent in the kernel, but
this is medium-term. For the RFC and likely for the merge, we go with
`alloc`.
    + Ideally, this work could inform the Rust allocator WG!

  - Locking: enforcing correct order/patterns (or at least disallowing
known-incorrect ones) via the type system or extra annotations.

Cheers,
Miguel
