Talks between OpenWrt and LEDE

Should use their own gitlab. Figure out a standard git workflow for the project (what branches are what, etc), take advantage of continuous integration features to automatically push out to github and build the firmware images and sign them. Then possibly build a optional sort of 'smoke signal' feature into the router images so they can be notified to automatically download new images and run unit tests. Maybe add a nice dashboard or graphene or something so you don't have to check your emails or whatever to see if everything passes.

This way the openwrt workflow would be 'program, program, program', git commit, git merge, git push... wait a few minutes to see if all the unit tests pass in your openwrt devices, then continue.

In a generalized way this sort of stuff is becoming pretty standard now, I think. Most everything you need is already available in off the shelf open source software.
