I'm planning on 1 hour for this meeting.

The agenda for the October 28 meeting will be available in the above document before the call.
Here are a few highlights:
 - Saravana Kannan will be discussing fw_devlink, which can support driver ordering for device-tree related drivers,
   reducing probe deferrals (and potentially increasing parallelization?) during the boot process. 
  Saravana gave a talk on this at LPC 2024 on this.  If you want to review that talk, see  https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1734/
 - recent patches contributed or accepted into the upstream kernel
 - ongoing work in progress (UBL, deferred probes, kernel boot-time regression test, printk 0-timestamps fix)
 - information on the elinux wiki
 - upcoming conferences and collaboration opportunities

If you have items you'd like to add to the agenda, please let me know.
(Please e-mail me and/or put them in the document.)

I look forward to talking to you then.

Thanks,
 -- Tim
