<snip> Well cool - why did it take us ~ 1.5 years to notice ;) . I just dropped factory pack then as it is too much for just one penguin.
2) SUSE are going to be doing another HackWeek (I think it is next week) which means Adrian, Alex, Dirk and anyone else that has knowledge, experience or interest can join in the fun and pain almost full time for a week - let's not kid ourselves here there is a high probability for lots of pain, but also fun ;-) Thing is HackWeek is not just for SUSE staff, it is also for the community. You can join in and spend some quality time on the project with those that know a whole heap of stuff, and learn from them and maybe even teach them something too. We are going to be targeting ARMv7 nothing older I'm afraid this means CORTEX-A8 and above (looking at A9 primarily and then the new A15 when it's available), it gets too messy otherwise and it is already messy enough.If you have knowledge and experience, please help out. If you don't take part you have no justification to complain - you've got to be in it to win it ;-) So I'm basically just giving you all a heads up on this effort, and will update you as regularly as possible (I'm hoping to do something weekly maybe). In the meantime, if you're interested join #opensuse-arm on Freenode and the opensuse-arm mailing list. *DO NOT HARRASS* for updates, if there is something to say it will be said. If you've got a question, ask and *WAIT* for an answer. If you want to help out but want to know how ask and *WAIT* for an answer. I will try and get something on the wiki soon, with a todo list etc. I think we should get people like Jan-Simon Möller on board as he started the first openSuSE ARM build in 2009 and also the ARM build in OBS.

Thanks and here's to getting our Geeko some ARMs. So let get a crew together - we have the knowledge and the tools. I'm willing to do my part on the weekends and continue what I did back then. Time to wipe android from the transformer ?! ;)
That'll be one mean machine. (Certainly the upcoming Transformer 2 (TF201 ?) with the Tegra Kal El) I have looked into the Tegra2. I've read this story in connection with hardfp. http://www.slashgear.com/meego-tegra-2-drivers-could-end-android-monopoly-on... http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/07/nvidia-meego-battle-ground/ This looks quite promising. I don't know when these drivers will be available I couldn't find any information yet.
Best, Jan-Simon
Just some information as people are looking into hardware. The trimslice might also be an option as you'll get 45% off as a developer, I don't know if it's still valid. http://trimslice.com/web/dev-kit IMHO the advantage it that there are a lot of Tegra devices Tablets etc. The disadvantage is IMHO that the driver is closed source. I don't know if the nouveau project could change this? Regards, Joop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-arm+help@opensuse.org
