We will have sessions on Friday (internal project planning), Saturday (community involvement, getting to know the Fedora ARM project), and Sunday (internal project wrapup), with some informal events besides.

Contact/Logistics
The following people can help you find the ARM team in Blacksburg, or help with ARM-related concerns:
- Jon Masters (IRC: jonmasters, cell: +1-617-759-1337).
- Brendan Conoboy (IRC: bconoboy, cell: +1-505-301-0294).
- Chris Tyler (IRC: ctyler, cell: Canadian roaming, are you kidding?)
Friday
- Audience: Mostly targeted at existing members of the Fedora ARM project. But come anyway! If you're just looking for some more information about Fedora on ARM, you might benefit more from the "introduction to Fedora ARM" workshop on Saturday.
- Location: Room 2, #fedora-arm (possibly conference bridge if phone equipment available)
An all-day session intended to address the following high-level topics:
- Introductions - many of us have not yet met in person
- Fedora ARM Build System
- Update on current system status and outages - where do we stand operationally today?
- Planning for the short term to get to rawhide - does the current infrastructure hold up ok? SSDs/NFS/power cyclers, etc.
- Planning for the medium term to get to Fedora 17/18 (primary arch?) - first server hardware staged in Seneca, etc.
- Planning for the longer term to get to Primary Architecture - planning for migration to Phoenix build system, etc.
- Rawhide
- Peter and others to discuss current status of Rawhide/F17 and next steps
- Primary Architecture
- Steps in PA proposal/process. Blockers?
- ARM Servers
- Working with Calxeda and others on ARM server support in Fedora
- 2012 Goals
- Strategic goals - how do we judge if we are being successful?
We hope to convene for some dinner or drinks in the evening. Venue and details to be figured out.
Saturday
- Audience: Mostly targeted at newcomers to the project, as well as existing members.
- Location: Room 2, #fedora-arm (possibly conference bridge if phone equipment available)
We have two sessions proposed for Saturday:
- "Getting involved with the Fedora ARM project" - an introduction to the project, and how to get going with Fedora on ARM.
- BarCamp session - general hackfest/info session for those wanting to get involved and help out (continuing from Friday, but intended to be more accessible to those not already involved in the project)
Sunday
- Audience: Mostly targeted at existing members of the Fedora ARM project. But come anyway! If you're just looking for some more information about Fedora on ARM, you might benefit more from the "introduction to Fedora ARM" workshop on Saturday.
- Location: Room 2, #fedora-arm (possibly conference bridge if phone equipment available)
We have an all-morning session proposed for Sunday (10:00am-noon). This will wrap-up from Friday. Schedule is TBD.
