HelenOS Camp 2016
  - the date is Aug 27 - Sep 2
  - location TBD
  - please let us know if you'd like to participate

MD:
  - hosting for ci.helenos.org
  - tried JavaScript emulator v86
  - updated toolchain script
  - was investigating the ping bug

VH:
  - testing framework at ci.helenos.org
  - c/o JS: nightly builds?
  - demo of fs.test

JJ:
  - Upgraded toolchain to GCC 6.1, binutils 2.26 and GDB 7.11
  - Turned a couple of asserts into static asserts
  - Retired notification fibrils: now the manager fibrils
    assume the role of a notification fibril when the
    IRQ handler blocks
  - Fixed a bug in TLB shootdown: tlb_active needs to be volatile,
    otherwise the compiler can optimize the memory read out
    and the algorithm hangs
  - Fixed SMP after the RCU merge: after migrating a thread,
    ready it to the ready queue of the CPU which migrated it
  - Automate entering 'boot' during sun4v simulation in gem5
    using expect
  - Provide an ops structure for architecture specific
    init hooks (formerly arch_pre/post_*_init)
  - Better allocation of UWB on sparc64
  - Should we drop sparc32? There is no way to test it.

JS:
  - full TLS support for dynamic linking
