tl;dr: 19.07 was branched, ar71xx is gone, we got some beers & pizzas Hi all,
I'm writing on the behalf of OpenWrt team members attending the OpenWrt meeting in Hamburg, which has happened a month ago, so it's about time to publish some outcome :-) Most of us met in the late afternoon on Sunday 9th June in a nice local pub with a great beer selection, together with the Debian folks attending MiniDebConfHamburg[1]. On Monday 10th June, we started right in the morning in one of the conference rooms, where we sat down in the circle, introduced ourselves and provided answers to the "What brings you here?" question. Shortly after this everyone got marker and paper cards, writing down arbitrary number of topics he would like to discuss during the following days. Then we put those cards on two boards, merging similar topics together where applicable. As you can imagine, this activity has produced a lot of topics, so we needed to prioritize, so each attendee got five pins, each of those pins represented one vote, topics with most pins (votes) were discussed first (topics with no votes were discussed with a soft timer, 6 minutes dedicated to each topic, where time was extended as needed). With much discussion, we wrote down all the topics, ideas, TODOs to the ChaosPad. After the meeting, we cleaned it up, transfered to our wiki[2], reordered, added some photos and more details. In the evening we went to some local place with a good pizza, where we spontaneously decided that it's just right time to branch 19.01 finally (just about 6 months later, yeah!) and lynxis created that branch as openwrt-19.07 around 21:33 CEST. You can find a photo of this branching event at the meeting's wiki[2] page as well. Then we moved back to Dock Europe[3] venue, where we continued discussing some of the topics till the early morning. On Tuesday 11th June we got a visit from h01ger, Debian developer and one of the developers behind reproducible-builds.org so we've used this opportunity to talk about improvements in reproducible OpenWrt. As we were discussing possible migration from GitHub to GitLab just a few moments ago, and as we knew, that Debian has switched to GitLab recently, we talked with h01ger little bit about Debian's experience with GitLab as well and h01ger has provided mostly positive feedback. Some of the topics were discussed till the early morning again. Activity during the Wednesday 12th June was similar to the previous days, we were discussing remaining topics, diving back into the details of previous topics, but finally we had first live demonstration, where lynxis presented us with his work-in-progress of automated testing on real hardware. To sum it up, it was a time very well spent, we were able to touch a lot of topics in those 3 days, which would otherwise take as ages to process and we hope, that if we manage to tackle at least 33% of those topics it could translate in a huge progress forward for the project as a whole. We're looking forward to our next meeting, where we hope, that we'll actually finally hack on some topics together instead of "just" discussing them. 1. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2019/MiniDebConfHamburg 2. https://openwrt.org/meetings/hamburg2019/start 3. https://www.dock-europe.net/ Cheers, OpenWrt team members attending Hamburg meeting
