Agenda Items

• Review items from last meeting in Dublin (Please add remarks)

BSPs & Layer Index

* oe driving toward machine readable files, can also drive from layer

test (yp compat) side - KK

* publicize defs of each list? discuss on members list - where to

overall architecture discussions belong

* TSC to add new mailing list specifically about project

architecture, no patches, and determine list name

* KK bring discussion to new mailing list

BSP standards - standards exist,coming soon are methods for comparing

a given layer with the standard => need wiki documentation for TSC to ratify -> document distro vs. machine policies, other best practices

---

BSP layer availability

-> encourage board vendors to provide a BSP, make it easier to do so => ask yp ab to talk to linux.com [PB] - community issue -> look at digi manual (i.e. "just add bsp changes in local.conf")

meta-yocto to meta-poky

=> RP to take action on the YP side, possibly not for 2.0 => formalize lowercase as mandatory requirement for overrides, look for other options in the future

Layer Index feature requests discussed with layer index build feedback>>

-> ask for cycles from employers to work on these issues -> make people aware, help with triage, provide resources

Security

-> need a method for tracking CVs

Systemd

complaints: more package config, comments; look at packaging to have minimal systemd even with options available -> need someone with time available to work on it -> need to get systemd feedback, people using systemd talk to package maintainer => file systemctl wrapper bug

Advocacy

-> board to discuss advocacy/community, invite jefro to meetings Potential OE Day at ELCE next year => board: do a proper cfp
