Hi all!
[ tl;dr - we're trying to organise a sprint - see the end ]
Due to the Linux on Arm meetup this week, quite a few of our DT community happened to be in Cambridge together last night. We took the opportunity to get together for food and beer, and we naturally ended up mulling over a whole range of things, not least the ongoing System DT design work.
As is the nature of this kind of gathering, we had a whole range of opinions and ideas, much more than I can faithfully recall to share here in great detail. Grant has been keen to try and keep system-dt compatible with Linux DT usage if that's possible, and Stefano has been working with that in mind. Rob is concerned about how things might scale with lots of domains, for example. Olof is keen to talk about a higher-level design to make it easier to express complex layouts. And so on.
There is one thing that *did* stand out: we agreed that it's probably time to try and get all of the interested people in a room together for a few days with a whiteboard, to really thrash out what's needed and how to achieve it. With the right people, we can go through all our needs, pick up the ideas we have and hopefully get some prototypes ready to evaluate.
So, who's interested? I believe all the people in CC here are likely keen to be involved. Anybody else?
Although we have Linaro Connect in Budapest at the end of March, that's really *not* a good place to try and meet up, for a couple of reasons: not everybody will be there, and we'll have too many distractions to be able to focus on this. Let's *not* do that.
AFAICS we're geographically roughly split between US/Canada and Europe, so I'm thinking a week in either the US or Europe, some time in the next 2-3 months:
* Would a week before or after Connect work, in Europe (16th-20th March, or 30th March to 3rd April)? I can look for options in the UK easily, with maybe either Arm or Linaro hosting.
* Alternatively, a week's meeting in the US, deliberately avoiding the Connect week so we don't wipe people out with travel: Maybe 2-6 or 9-13 March? Or push back into April if that's too short notice, of course. Would Xilinx be able to host something for us, maybe? Or another possibility might be the Linaro office in Nashua?
I'm open to other suggestions for time and venue. Let's try to make something work here?
Cheers,
Steve
count me in.

The week before isn't great, but the week after would work. I would want to travel home over the weekend.

The 2nd-3rd could work for me. I may already be traveling to California for this week to attend OCP Summit (4th-5th March) and the LF Member Meeting 10th-12th.

Thanks Grant!
Any more dates please? Feel free to just mail me privately rather than to the lists - I'm filling in the data provided into a spreadsheet to help with planning.

The rest of March is pretty much out for me. April isn't looking much better due to school term Easter break, but things start to open up at the end of April. I may be traveling to the US for Arm ServerReady event 27th-29th April.
