+<PRE>Hi,
+
+as said before, here is the long over due report of the discussion we
+had with rtp when I seen him. Being sick and busy with job interview, I
+was unable to finish it sooner.
+
+on 24th June, I went to Paris to give the pandaboard ( a arm motherboard
+)
+donated by TI for zarb.org to arnaud patard (rtp) in order to prepare it
+for integration with the rest of the infrastructure.
+
+While on it, we discussed various technical issue, along with Damien
+(dams ), so here is the summary of the meeting.
+
+People present :
+_ michael scherer
+- arnaud patard
+- damien lallemand
+- nicolas vigier
+
+First, the pandaboard would be hosted at Lost Oasis, without surprise.
+Since the pandaboard alone is just a mother board,
+we need to more hardware to make it usable.
+After discussion, here is the list of hardware that would be needed :
+ - usb cable, to power it ( we have a limited supply of plug )
+ - serial cable, for the bootloader
+ - usb to serial adapter, to plug on a server as we are not sure that
+our servers have working serial
+ - a SD card, of 4 g, for storing kernel, and maybe a rescue FS
+ - a sata harddrive + external enclosure, for the main system
+ - a box for the board
+
+First step is to see how much it cost, and what/where to buy. Action
+assigned to rtp, in 2 weeks. Dams will also check if a mini-itx box
+would do the trick, should check on monday. Rtp also said he would check
+for a external power supply.
+
+In order to find needed length, we will try to get some estimation on
+the available space in our rack, and the required cable, and do some
+simulation.
+
+On the sysadmin side, the proposal is the following :
+ - the board will serve as a rebuilder for arm, which is not in sync
+with others arch for the moment
+ - we will need to adujst various part of the system for arm ( bugzilla,
+mirrors , etc )
+
+Among others, Arnaud spoke of using common flags instead of using %
+ifarch. The goal would be to be able to say &quot;I do compile without java&quot;
+by setting 1 file, instead of adding %ifnarch arm everywhere.
+But he promised me to send a more structured proposal on the -dev.
+
+In order to discuss details in a more open fashion , a meeting have been
+planed for 6 juillet, in the afternoon around 13h UTC ( paris time, 15h
+). We will use #mageia-meeting, and the goal is :
+1) see who is interested by arm ( if you are but cannot be there, please
+say it on irc )
+2) see if the task decided for the previous IRL meeting have been caried
