* Rob  Sherwood from Big Switch and Olivier Vautrin from Pica8 will present  latest status of OpenNetworkLinux for community review, setting up for a  formal contribution to OCP.

** what can we do to combine/consolidate some of the work between ONIE and ONL (Curt chimed in to agree on this)
** kernel code into its own repository so both ONIE/ONL can use it
** perhaps some timing with the move to OCP?
** long term, best way to share kernel code is to get it into the upstream Linux kernel <- good point!
** an informal survey of various switch vendors are all using debian wheezy?
** pica8 is already on it 
** most people are trying to support both powerpc and x86

* Update from CJ Williams from Microsoft and Subi or Sanjay from Dell on their HAL work     
** Spec should be coming soon, collaborating with others on this

* Upcoming workshops/summits
** Who will attend Paris? Will send poll out


= Action items =
* Rob Sherwood/Curt Brune - Single kernel repository for common kernel code between ONIE/ONL - git sub-modules?
