The area is a bit of a wasteland without good food choices close (walking) by. If you have lunch ideas let Jefro or Philip know. We can look into asking a food truck to come by: http://roaminghunger.com/sjc.

Goals

• Have fun.
• Get useful work done that benefits from high bandwidth interactions.
• Get more people involved with the project at a higher level.

Working Agenda

This agenda is flexible, and meant to reflect the important issues in the OE community. Please feel free to contribute agenda items. We will finalize the agenda after introduction to maximize use of people's time.

• Introductions. Be prepared to tell us who you are and how you use OpenEmbedded (and the Yocto Project)
• The Yocto Project is supposed to make Embedded easy. What is still hard?
• bug scrub (also bug collecting/wrangling)
• ongoing role of the OE TSC
• wiki/website organization
• online voting
• increasing the amount of hardware that works out of the box with oe-core + layers
• next + 1 release
• developer community - outreach/recruiting/mentoring, new developer documentation, process and QA tools
