Hi,
so I went to the mailing list and got slot reserved in the CrossDistribution Devroom for the openSUSE on ARM talk. According to the current schedule it looks like it will be on Sunday:
10:30-11:00 Michal Hrusecky: openSUSE on ARM 11:00-12:00 Adrian Schröter: OBS Cross Build
I'm going to prepare some slides, hopefully soon and will post it here for comments. Although I'm listed in schedule, it definitely doesn't mean that I want to steal all the attention. IIRC there is plenty of space on stage :-D My intentions are to make openSUSE ARM port more famous, hopefully attract more people and do some good introduction for Adrians talk :-D Ok, so here is[1] the first draft of slides about what I want to speak about. I want to mention HP Project Moonshot[2] as well, but haven't found suitable image so far, so it will be included later.

Well, maybe we're naming it wrong. I wouldn't be surprised. So far nobody has been really actively working on v5. Everyone's complaining and wants it for their devices, but actual work on that target is minimal. You know how that goes :). Complaining is easier than actual work.

We never used cross compilation. Bootstrapping was done using meego packages. "hidden behind the walls" needs to have the reasoning on there too. It's because of security concerns. Ok, I remembered that there were cross packages in GSoC, haven't realize that this time it was bootstrapped differently. Never really understood the security reasons, but will put it in there.
We're running code from unknown people and chroot is by definition insecure. So we need a VM :).

Got exampes for softfp blobs? So far the only gpu we tried to get running was the imx51 one and that was available as hardfloat i think. I thought that was the state regarding PowerVR drivers in Panda, at least that's what I got from discussions.
Maybe, yeah. On Panda I don't get gfx at all atm. Not even a frame buffer.
