Hi,

If there is enough time, then I would like to discuss OP-TEE release work, questions like: Who will make the release? When should it be done? Where should it be tracked? Currently, the answer to all of those are more or less "Linaro / Linaro decides", but our (Linaro's) impression is that we should try to get this transferred to TrustedFirmware in some way. Linaro will certainly be involved in that kind of work in the future also, but we believe that the directions should come from TrustedFirmware.org instead of Linaro. This might even be something to consider for all TF projects? I.e., not only OP-TEE? But again .. if time permits, otherwise we can push it to another call.

A second topic is related to CHERI [1] and Hafnium. People working with the CHERI project asked me whether TrustedFirmware would be interested in an open-source CHERI adaptation of Hafnium? So I'd like to get the opinion from the TSC with regards to that. If the TSC is positive to it, then we have a few other things to consider like where it should go, separate CHERI branch(es), official tree with compile time flags? How to staff the activity? Legal aspects? Etc.
