 Attendees: Trevor Tao, Linda, Davelet, Mark, Charles, Jackie Huang, Steve G., Scott L.
 1. Generic Topics
  *   1.1 Split package list between repositories (ISO and container images)
  *   Separation of the list is done per Davlet.
  *   AI: Devlet will check the documentation on package list.
  *   1.2 Log into the git before download the source.
  *   How to pass the credential through the tooling layer when log into git repo.
  *   workaround: currently use repo sync outside of the containers.
  *   AI: Scott to write up a feature request for the tool - file a request in Story Board.
  *   Created: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2010777
  *     1.3  Pre-patch ISO (Luis Sampaio?) (Carols Pocahy replacing Luis Barbosa)
  *   AI: to invite Carlos Pocahy to this meeting to discuss Pre-patch ISO. [Done]
  *   Carlos to confirm if Luis Sampaio is the person who will be working on this feature.
  *   Note: Luis S. is out on leave. Need someone from the community to help with the feature.
  *   AI: follow up on who will be picking up this feature request [lwang]
  2. ARM support
  *   CENGN: move to another provider. Early development don't expect anything for at least 2 months.
  *   Wind River will be provide it. Will be available via WindRiver Lab.
  *   a. Equipment
  *   Ampere provided 6 servers
  *   They like to know where the new location is, so that they can send the servers to the new location?
  *   A: We do NOT have rack space or power for the proposed equipment at this time. Ampere will have to find a location on their own.
  *   Jackie: last week had a meeting with ARM. Steve G said will have the location in 2 weeks.
  *   The CENGN lab is now moved to the current Ottawa office lab.
  *   6 Ampere servers will go to where the CENGN lab is going to be.  2 for build, 4 for testing.
  *   Can the community support the lab?
  *   AI: ARM is still waiting on a location to host these servers. AI: Steve is help looking for a location to host these servers.
  *   AI: who from the community can help set up these servers? and support the CI/CD on ARM platform
  *   b. Porting still in progress (Jackie)
  *   finished all packages built, started with StartlingX 8.0 master for ARM.
  *   RT kernel fixed.
  *   Some kernel modules don't work
  *   QEMU is not working yet. Waiting on kernel up-rev, then and see if QEMU can be fixed then.
  *   Container Image
  *   For ARM Build, already push the container image for ARM arch. and push them to docker hub, and startlingX.
  *   Test on simplex, duplex, Low latency profile, standard control, 2 kernels, and 2 storage nodes.
  *   Packages for x86_64 are in CNGN, need to push ARM packages there.
  *   Secureboot is disabled for now. Will do it in the future.
  *   ELF SDK is used to build image. Need to push the SDK to CNGN, no permission to push to CNGN yet, it is on local disk.
  *   Need to change meta-lat layer for ELF SDK, but want to link the task to different repo, but can't.
  *   meta-lat layer is not in the StartlingX repo, but its in github repo. fork it.. do a pull request to github lab for any changes.
  *   meta-lat used is with the WR's repo, not community one. Will migrate later.
  *   Naming
  *   How to moderate source code, add the machine-type = aarch 64/arm, add another name for UIO for ARM.
  *   Package name: Jackie is changing the naming mechanism from x86_64 to arm64. Use hard coded name.
  *   AI: Send a couple package's name for code review.
  *   Branch Name: the branching name. How to build ARM branch in addition to X86_64. [Meeting ended here due to time constraints]
  *   'Build server stats' email, Scott replied to the email on the mailing list:
  *   Build server recommendation: At least 4 disks, and 12 T storage space, 128 G memory. possible ram disk for builds
  *   AI#5 Test server config: Scott will check with QA team to provide needed info.
3.0 StartlingX 8.0
  *   SPEC from Chuck on OSTree generation on the controller, pending review.
  *   Work is being done, but the SPEC will need to be rewritten. Deferred.
