TL;DR: Attached is the TF-A LTS proposal doc. Please review and share
your thoughts.
Hello everyone,
Long term support for TF-A has a long history. As a community we have
flirted with it for a while, and like any flirtation, it started with
gossip -- in our case, over mailing list [1] -- more than two years
ago. Then Varun Wadekar did a wonderful tech forum presentation [2]
which demonstrated interest in the topic and raised interesting
questions about LTS.
After some time, the affair lost headline status, only to be revived
again [3], earlier this year. This time however, there is a formal
proposal (no pun intended). After the mailing list discussion and
feedback from TF-A tech forum [4], we have put together a draft which
attempts to give a concrete idea about what the TF-A LTS will look
like.
Please spare some time to read through it and share your feedback. The
plan is to put LTS into action this November.
Cheers!
Okash

Hi All,
As I was doing some updates, I realized that the TF TSC maillists were out
of date. We also haven't been sending minutes to the list for archival
purposes. To that end, please see below:
- There are 2 maillists for the TSC.
- *tsc-private*: For the official TSC reps
- *tsc*: Includes the folks in *tsc-private* plus additional
developers interested in tracking the TSC activities.
- We've been sending TSC minutes to individuals in the TSC calendar
invite. I plan to change this so that the minutes are sent to TSC list to
be correctly archived.
- I've just updated both lists to represent what I believe is
correct. If you see anyone I've missed or other errors, please send me a
note and I'll correct. If a communication is for TSC Member Reps only,
please use TSC-private.
- Moving forward, we will send TSC Meeting minutes to the TSC maillist
to include the wider distribution..
- I plan to keep the invite to the meeting as-is with invites going out
to individuals.
Please review the snapshots of each list below and let me know if I've
missed anyone on your teams.
Thanks for your support/feedback in cleaning up,
Don

Hi all
Please let me know if you have any topics for the TSC on Thursday. I won't be present at the meeting so Antonio will chair. I have the following topics so far:
* LTS discussion (see mailing list thread<https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tsc@lists.trustedfirmware.o…>) - Okash
* Hosting the firmware hand-off spec at tf.org (see TF-A mailing list thread<https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.…>). If no-one is comfortable leading this, I can do it next month.
Given it's holiday/vacation season, It would be helpful if you can let Don/Antonio know if you will be attending.
Regards
Dan.
