This weeks meeting topics:
Merging of next generation build framework Primary goal is to understand benefits it is bringing as we all will need to sacrifice some time in order to review it, then merge and fix remaining bug. Despite our current system produces images, we have many bugs and dirty workarounds that this upgrade is addressing.
The future of rockchip64 family Main goal is to make it maintainable again.
GitHub development and review process Main goal is to motivate people to take more responsibility for reviewing and merging. Define clear rules.
Goal of the weekly meetings:
To discuss the three (3) issues of the week
Discussions will be documented to respective Jira tickets so they can be tracked
Three (3) new issues will be selected from Jira for the next meeting
Conclusions:
Everyone interested should watch a recording (~1h) and place a comment below. Comments will be discussed here or at next meeting. Before we can do anything in real regarding merging NEXT, we need to clean patches but also address several things, starting with those:
Making a tool / module for patch generation (@rpardini)
Preparing guidelines for review and contribution (@giddy)
Move repo management from the build system (@igor)
How can anyone help? Cleaning the patches!
The purpose of a weekly developers meeting is to coordinate development of the build engine, continuous integration, operating system features and low level support. Meetings are hosted located on Zoom (Video) and IRC and Discord (Text). While we would prefer you attend on Zoom when possibly, we will also monitor text chat during the call for those unable to join Zoom. Please RSVP either way.
Do you want to participate or help in some way?
Meetings are focused in developers top level topics and its expected that understand embedded software development, software testings or operating system management. In term of programming languages, knowledge of at least BASH & Python is expected.
Since meetings are held in public, any registered community member can join and listen. If you want to suggest issues for the next week, you have to be recognized Armbian contributor. If you want to become one, resolve at least one intermediate level issue and tell us something about you. This is needed to efficiently communicate and to give you access to our organisation infrastructure Jira, Github, hardware lab and servers.
