* Added documentation
* Fixed some build system issues
* Helped Tinti with rpi patches

Tinti:
* Raspberry-pi initial patches (not working yet, but could be clang issues)
Mark:
* Got MSM working again
* integrated patches for cross compile of compiler-rt

* Found it won't work with dynamic modules
* How does GCC do an EABI kernel build and resolve the EABI funcs for 
dynamic modules?
* Moved EABI funcs to eabi.c
* Fought with clang memory leak for the past week

- Reviewed Bug list with those present. Most bugs were covered by the 
status above, or people weren't present to discuss their bugs.
- IRC-XMPP bridge is now in beta (connect to openmuc.jabberim.de with 
your jabber client and joint the llvmlinux room/muc)
- New Raspberry-pi code was added.
- Mark C has been busy adding ARM compiler-rt support. He's making great 
progress.
