Minutes
Video virtualization standards update (Dmitry):
V4L2 is stable but Android is the main challenge because of a lot of changes and new development. Changing from OMX (older API) to Codec2 - new HAL/API, operating on top of OMX (backward compatible) and V4L2 and other.
Some video accelerator technology coming in from ChromeOS / Chromium.
Dmitry: We haven't approached VIRTIO with any proposals yet. Need a bit more stability first.
Gunnar: In your opinion how is Android regarded in the upstream VIRTIO work? Or are most of the participants primarily focused on Linux / QEMU ?
... seems primarily Linux / QEMU is driving still.
Dmitry/Gunnar: CrosVM is a hypervisor monitor in ChromeOS. It uses KVM as the control interface to the kernel.
Discussion about project organization. Should we get our ongoing work up on JIRA tickets for more clarity?
Gunnar: We started this a bit more ad-hoc and driving forward with tables and minutes. [...but we have not so good delivery accuracy...]
Most other GENIVI collaboration projects use a lightweight SCRUM with some defined sprint content, depending on people availability.
JIRA is successful in several other projects (Android SIG, Connected Services, GPRO/Franca-ARA:COM and others) (NOTE: some links might require you to log into JIRA)
Discussing F2F agenda
Gunnar: Originally, we said to focus on the virtual platform specification.
Dmitry: Agreed, primarily specification. But what do the others think?
Gunnar: Note that Participation from Kai will be not every week - Adam is supporting on similar topics.
Adam: My main area of knowledge around VIRTIO is also block device and storage, like discussed with Kai before.
Gunnar: Please consider if you can help out to write the Block device chapter into the specification.
AI (Gunnar): Contact Artem again.
Meeting adjourned 10:40.
...then Kai joined. 
[We had a quick sync up between Kai & Gunnar]
Kai: I have a conflicting meeting every week but sometimes I can join a bit late like today.
Gunnar: OK, let's try to work with that somehow.
... mentioned JIRA idea as above
Kai: ... OK, maybe useful for whitepaper delivery.
AI (Gunnar): Look at setting up JIRA project for HVWS project
F2F agenda
Gunnar: What do you think should be the main agenda for the F2F? Virtual Platform Specification?
Kai: Yes, primary focus on specification, some whitepaper sync up (assuming draft is done before September)
Kai: I think everyone can write a chapter in the whitepaper, we could get a draft ready by September. Let's agree on the
Gunnar: Currently the primary outline is based on your combined proposal. I only left the other chapters at the end as a kind of history and possible to select some ideas from.
It also includes our brainstorm at the top, so the page is a bit messy now. Let's move the agreed outline to a separate page/document for clarity.
Kai: I will work on this.
Kai: Next week I expect to be able to join also, perhaps a little earlier.
Future absences:
Kai: Last week August, first of September
