Major Topics for This Week

ARMv6

Still collecting data to get confidence in the current minimum requirements (800MHz/512MB) as well as look for ways to test devices outside the minimums. We’d like to be able to drop the minimums to get more ARMv6 devices unblocked.

Please keep your update to under 2 minutes!
