[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] The short guide of how to attend the meeting can be given in the meeting invitation, it is helpful for attendees, especially for the new attendees.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] Understand.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] I can submit the patch for review firstly, and we can have more discussion if needed, does it make sense?
	BTW, is there guide on how to submit the patch for Release Notes?

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] OK for me.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] Sure, I know the link. I think it is necessary to mention it in the Release Notes for users who don't know the link. :)-

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] We have two options.
	1. Adding meta-fsl-ppc layer in the repo manifest file(default.xml) together with i.MX layers, and enhance the setup-environment script to support FSL ppc targets. 
	2. Create separated branches for QorIQ SDK and i.MX BSP in fsl-community-bsp-platform, the setup-environment script needs to be enhanced. 
	Thoughts?
