Hi All,
I meant to do something like this in the Fedora 21 cycle but it was long and winding and for me in a new role as we ran into the end of the cycle it managed to slip through the cracks.
With Fedora 22 coming into Alpha and in all likely hood we'll have the 4.0 kernel for GA it gives us a decent runway to focus on polish for both ARMv7 and aarch64 on the runway to F-22 GA.
The idea is for people to pick small items to improve and polish, these don't have to be large time consuming complicated tasks.
I've got a bunch of ideas that I'm working on and there's 100s of improvements that can be made whether it be to various components of devices, testing and improvements to packages or documentation there's lots that can be done.
So a couple of the idea I'm working on to give you some ideas: * Wifi/Bluetooth support on the PandaBoard (yes, I've got a fix for the kernel issues too I'll be pushing RSN once I've cleaned it up). There's a package if someone would like to review it [1]
* Testing and improving accelerated X as much as possible across as many platforms as possible. EG fbturbo will help XFCE/Sugar etc on a number of devices. Package review [2] is a beginning here. LOTs to come.
So what other ideas are there? Here's some random ideas: * Documentation * Create an alsa UCM profile [3] for your device. See the alsa-ucm package in F-22+ for some examples * Fix packages for OpenCL to build on ARM*, package the shamrock OpenCL implementation [4] * Test and document use of sensors on devices like the BeagleBone * Test and document the use of Capes/Hats with the new DT Overlays (awaiting confirmation the configfs bits land in 4.0) * Testing of media offload engines, packaging of associated tools/libraries. * Help implement device pages in the wiki [5][6] * Lots of small kernels bits if you're interested in that :)
NOTE what this _IS_NOT_ is a place for people to dump this wish lists unless they are actually going to pick up them up and implement :-)
Any queries or if you're looking for some ideas head to #fedora-arm and ask there. I'm pbrobinson on IRC. Please don't just rock up, ask a question and leave. We're not all online 24/7 even if we monitor it :-)
