		OSDL Conduit 
	****************************

The OSDL Conduit was created to help aid in the process of
testing Kernel patches and hardening results in order to 
solidify the need for a given patch.

Basic Information:

  - The OSDL conduit can be obtained at the following

	tarball:
	
		http://developer.osdl.org/ogasawara/osdl_conduit/

	all-in-one series patch:

		http://developer.osdl.org/ogasawara/osdl_conduit/

  - Patches are to be submitted to the OSDL conduit mailing list

	linux-osdl@lists.osdl.org

  - Patches should apply cleanly against latest Kernel tree
    and follow the standard Kernel patch submission policies.
	- i.e. One patch per email with explanation for patch
	- Patch is to be submitted in plain text mode
	- Patch has proper spacing and format
	- see linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches for more details

  - We must have at least 2 members committed to test.
	- If no commitments to test are made, patch will not be merged.

  - Results of tests (until a more suitable location can be found) will 
    be publicly available at:

	http://developer.osdl.org/ogasawara/osdl_conduit

  - The conduit will be evaluated quarterly for usage and follow
    through with test results.  It will be terminated if exposure
    to patches is coming from other conduits, if patch submissions
    do not meet the criteria, or if the conduit is not used reasonably
    by our member companies for testing.
