# Linaro Mobile Group (LMG)
-Linaro was founded by companies focused on working together in the mobile space. As Linaro’s work broadened beyond mobile, discussions in the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) similarly broadened and towards the end of 2013, a mobile sub-committee (MOBSCOM) was formed to deal with mobile discussions in more detail. In July 2014, this sub-committee was replaced by the Linaro Mobile Group (LMG) and its associated steering committee (LMG-SC). Information about LMG is available on the Linaro wiki: https://wiki.linaro.org/LMG.
+The improvement of mobile software for ARM processors has long been a focus of interest for Linaro.
-Linaro’s mission in the mobile space has always been to collaborate with members to consolidate and optimize open source software for mobile platforms on ARM. The mobile space includes all types of phones, tablets, laptops and wearables. Android has been identified as the primary mobile OS on which Linaro’s work in this area is tested, but other options, including Chrome OS, Firefox OS and Tizen have been discussed and could be brought in if members decided there was a need.
+The Linaro Mobile Group mission facilitates collaboration with it's members to consolidate, optimizate, improve and create new mobile open source software. The mobile space includes all types of phones, tablet, wearables and embedded usages of mobile operating systems.
-The LMG engineering team has an established reputation for optimizing Android components, performing bring up using new kernels and new toolchains, upstreaming AOSP patches to the open source community and developing new technology. The team released the first port of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for ARM’s new 64-bit Juno hardware development platform in July 2014.
+Member companies decide the technical direction and goals for LMG through the Linaro Mobile Group Steering Committee.
-Support
-We welcome feedback on our releases and ask you to do so via linaro-android@lists.linaro.org or join us on the #linaro-android channel on freenode. You may open a bug being report via bugs.linaro.org. We make no representations that a reported bug will be fixed or how fast it might be addressed. Member input weighs strongly in these considerations.
+Android is the OS of primary focus however across the ARM ecosystem, there can be efforts that equally apply to other environments.
+
+The LMG engineering team has established a strong reputation in the Linux Kernel and Android communities for their efforts. Some examples include, the optimization of AOSP, upstreaming of Android specific patches into the Linux Kernel, implementation and improvement of ART, working with the Google common kernel tree, and enablement of cutting edge toolchains for use with Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The team released the first 64-bit port of AOSP for ARM's Juno hardware development platform in July 2014.
+
+## Team
+
+Today the LMG engineering staff is made up for 4 teams.
+
+* **ART** - Working to improve the Android Runtime
+* **Android** - Working to improve AOSP
+* **LMG Kernel** - Working on the Linux Kernel, Google common kernel for Android and maintaining dma-buf.
+* **LCR** - Working to integrate and validate improvements to AOSP directly from LMG and from across the larger Linaro organization.
+
+## Contact
+
+To interact with the engineering team, join us via IRC on #linaro-android channel on irc.freenode.net, or utilize the linaro-android@lists.linaro.org mailing list. We use git.linaro.org and <http://releases.linaro.org/android/> for releases. We attend technical conferences through the course of an average year, such as Linaro Connect, Linux Plumbers, ELC and so on.
