• UHAPI/DirectFB integration (via Dennis Kropp)
• CELF Open Test Lab (via Nomad Global Solutions)
• Embedded Linux Conference
• Regional Conferences

CELF Test Lab

• Shared resource for CELF members and wider
  community
• Use cases
• Automated multi-platform testing
• Nightly regression tests
• Private test usage
• Interactive board usage via remote access

CELF Test Lab Info

• Defines an architecture for host-target style
  testing (not found in other test systems)
• Basic lab infrastructure is now set up
• Builds OpenEmbedded distribution from scratch
• Tests can be scheduled and run remotely on
  multiple boards
• LTP is currently the only real test
• Currently very few boards

Test Lab Demo

• Demonstration of running a test in the lab
• Web Interface
• Requesting a test
• Examining test results
• Interactive use
• ssh and target

Whats next?

• Reservation system for interactive use
• Need to populate tests specific to CELF
  requirements
• Need more systems - Satellite nodes and the Japan
  test lab
• Need install program and documentation to
  facilitate use of lab infrastructure
• Integration with or leveraging of other Linux
  automated test systems.

Config Weight Size Test

• By Munehiro Ikeda (NEC)
• Ikeda will describe overview of his examination
  to make clear config weights(impacts), which
  means size and memory usage increase by enabling
  a config item.
• Examination tool named "Kconfig Size
• Current examination result summary
• Further works plan

Review of CELF members' project list

• What OSS projects are CELF members working on?
• See ProjectList Unfortunately, out of date at
  the moment
• Discuss how to connect these projects back to
  original OSS projects?

Annual CELF Challenge Items

• Proposal for creating a list of technology
  projects for CELF members to focus on for the
  year
• How can CELF push the projects forward and get
  inter-company collaboration?
• Want to make sure to follow Open Source
  practices, so that non-members can participate
  and influence the work
• Need to make sure people understand its not an
  unfunded request for work!!!

Open Discussion

• What projects deserve focused CELF attention??
• Does anyone need hardware that CELF or it's
  members can provide?
• Should we do a "hackfest"?
