Proposed glibc BoF at GNU Cauldron 2014.

["Carlos O'Donell" <carlos at redhat dot com>]

Community,

I've proposed a glibc BoF at this years GNU Cauldron 2014 [1]:

https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Cauldron%202014
~~~
The GNU C Library is used as the C library in the GNU systems
and most systems with the Linux kernel. The library is 
primarily designed to be a portable and high performance C 
library.It follows all relevant standards including ISO C11
and POSIX.1-2008. It is also internationalized and has one of 
the most complete internationalization interfaces known.

This BOF aims to bring together developers of other components
that have dependencies on glibc and glibc developers to talk 
about the following topics:

* Planning for glibc 2.21 and what work needs to be done
  between the August -> January 2015 timeframe.

* Infrastructure
  - The sysdeps sorting issues.
  - The abilist issue (raised recently when IBM wanted 
    to add ppc64le support).

* Testing
  - Testing in chroots.

* Performance?
  - Status of microbenchmarks?

* libm
  - Status of alternate libm implementations.
  - Planning work against gcc requirements.

* Tuning the C library?
  - Status of review of existing usage of env vars.
  - Status of work to bring together tunnables internally.

* POSIX conformance
  - Cancellation discussions.

* IPv4 and IPv6 
  - Next steps to solve more getaddrinfo problems.

If you want to add agenda items please feel free to edit the page.

Cheers,
Carlos.
