  *   Design meeting - we discussed on Automation & CI system.



  *   Community Action: Need help from the community on ECC tool (EFI code checker), we have critical issues, need help quickly.
     *   Kevin - will explore to see if someone has any expertise wrt ECC tool.



  *   Sean plans to send to the info to the community on the tool to help format the source code. Sean will send it to the mailing list.
Suggests making ECC smaller.



  *   Addressed all issues related to cmocka.



  *   Workflow for maintainers: some maintainers like to work on multiple pull requests, causing extra work, process issue. We are investigating on automation. Task is to Evaluate the automation feature and get feedback.



  *   Bugzilla Feature request - update on NASM compiler version will start now. This is not required by developers until after the Q1 stable tag.





Opens:

  1.  Nate - Google summer code (sponsored internship program run by google). Need some mentors to mentor the interns. Tianocore open source needs to apply. Application deadline Feb 19th. We need to develop interesting ideas for summer projects. Nate will start an offline thread to discuss ideas for projects. Couple of people have expressed some interest in becoming mentors.
Community Action: If you are interested in either mentoring or have a project idea, please send an email to (nathaniel.l.desimone@intel.com).



  1.  Sean - code contribution, project management - are we doing anything to improve.

@Desimone, Nathaniel L<mailto:nathaniel.l.desimone@intel.com>, I’m interested in mentorship for the GSC project. Would like to talk offline about potential projects and past experience.

RE: ECC, we’re internally evaluating ‘uncrustify’ as an option to 1) check for formatting violations and 2) provide a tool to automatically format code prior to submission. There are changes that we’ve made to the tool to support ECC, but there are some small places that we’re coming up short. What would be the appetite to evaluate our progress and discuss possibly adjusting the ECC to be more flexible where we’ve come up short?

Hi Bret,

Please share the proposed adjustments.  If we can use a well supported tool that allows us to remove the C parser from ECC, then I think that would be a big improvement.

Hi Mike,

I'm planning to put up a branch that we can use as a reference for a 
conversation around uncrustify in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks,
Michael

Great to hear Bret. Thanks.
Folks, this is a reminder. The deadline for submitting our project (Tianocore) proposal to Google summer code is approaching soon (Feb 19th), please do reach out to Nate Desimone if you have any project ideas.

Thanks,
