Android Code Review

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

This discussion will focus on Android code review. Topics will include Gerrit, continuous integration, maintainers, reviewers and validation. We'll focus on integrating the Android development model with Linaro.

Short presentation to get session started : https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0AfbNxiGaNujWZGhxMnFocjJfMTFjd3M4djhoYg&hl=en&authkey=CJ6Hk-wE

Out of this session we need...
 1. A volunteer to set up gerrit server
 2. A volunteer one to configure gerrit
 3. roles
 4. rules (who and what can be pushed where)
 5. plan for how to combine gerrit, build server, lava...

Possible Action Items from the discussion:

1. Setup Gerrit.

2. Host trees in Gerrit.

3. Integrate Gerrit with Validation.

4. Implement Gerrit auto-merging.

5. Setup Gerrit upstream flow. Talk to Arnd to make sure the flow works for the kernel.

6. Integrate legal check in Gerrit loop.

7. Setup a contributor agreement for Gerrit submission.

8. Identify a subset of tests to run on each auto-merged result.

9. Create a mechanism for users to add and remove tests as well as add and remove from the test set.

10. Work with davidb to leverage work that's already been done.
