Hi,

this is the report from the activities that Codethink is driving on and or involved. This week is not that we worked more but that we completed more tasks.

++ Meetings

* Members meeting on Monday January 16th
** ELC booth/sponsorship logistics as main topic
** Report about testing and kernel maintenance efforts.

* Next Members meeting on Monday January 23rd
** Ben Hutchings attending to provide update about the kernel maintenance effort

++ Kernel maintenance

* 4.4 CIP kernel updated to the latest LTS.

* Backported patches being merged.

The goal is to arrive to ELC with the policies finished and the backported patches merged. Some additional tasks might be done meanwhile.
