Topic Ideas

These are topics that were suggested for previous OE developer meetings and have not been covered yet. They should be seen as starting ideas on things that can be discussed.

Topic	Moderator(s)	Estimate of time	Notes
Security defaults in OE-Core / poky	Marta	?	-
Data store operation changes	?	?	Pending developers spending time working on this.
Syntax removal	?	?
Data store internal rewrite	?	?	Pending developers spending time working on this.
f-string in Python code (and more modern python in general)	?	?	Have upgraded python versions, still not convinced this has huge advantages. Don't want mass conversion as makes LTS patches harder.
Dropping core features	?	?
Security (PSiRT)	?	?	Nobody willing to commit to joining a team. Security processes documented.
QA Automation	?	?	Now have significant automation on the autobuilder
Code submission process	?	?
Software updates	?	?	Think we're happy that there are various layers/tools allowing this?
AI/ML	?	?

Here are some new topic ideas:
