It's on the same continent, I'm low on real excuses :-)

Depending what we talk about it might be useful to invite Sean Paul
and/or Jani Nikula as drm-misc co-maintainers (which really is the drm
core + subsystem wide refactorings + misc small drivers in one team
nowadays). Sean Paul is also doing ChromeOS from Google's pov, so
could bring that perspective.

For Android I think it'd be great to have Rom Lemarchand invited (he's
google's overall android kernel engineer). Especially on the drm side
we've made some great improvements with getting Android stuff running
on pure upstream over the last year (and not just as a pile of hacks
and shortcuts, but with all the features Android wants). From the
infrastructure pov it's essentially mission accomplished afaiui, and
the gaps are "just" with some of the drivers (but that's nothing new,
upstream open source gfx is still not supported by many vendors
unfortunately).

Sean, Jani&Rom on cc in case you need their mail address.
