Location and Time
Co-located with the Yocto Project Summit held on May 25-26, 2021.
The Developers Meeting is scheduled for May 25th between 15:30 and 20:00 UTC. The exact times for each individual topic are TBD.
Format
As always, we will collect topics on the wiki at https://www.openembedded.org/OEDVM_2021.
For the actual developer meeting, there will be pre-assigned timeslots for each topic. The moderator(s) have the option of opening with a short introduction/presentation to introduce the topic.
Topic Ideas
- Insight into the life of a Maintainer
- BSPs: best practice exemplars, cross-project issue tracker, linters, incentive loop design
- Moderator(s):
- OE Resourcing: gaps, role naming, work metadata, bridging OSS/commercial
- Moderator(s):
- X11 is dead; long live X11! what's to become of core-image-sato?
- Moderator(s): Trevor Woerner
- Premise:
- the Yocto Project provides a sample distribution (poky) and images (core-image-minimal, core-image-base, core-image-full-cmdline…) to give users examples to follow and provide a basis for testing purposes
- core-image-sato was created to fill the GUI niche as an example and for testing
- core-image-sato is based on gtk+ 3.x and x11
- both gtk+ 3 and x11 are EOL/unmaintained
- Discussion:
- do we need a GUI image going forward (as an example, for testing purposes)?
- how much testing does core-image-sato receive?
- how many teams have based their work on core-image-sato?
- if a GUI image is still needed, upon which toolkit and compositor should it be based?
- what's to become of core-image-sato?
- what's to become of x11 support in oecore?
- BSOM
- Moderator(s): Trevor Woerner
- Improving Layer quality: Layerindex combined with a layerchecker
- Moderator(s): Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf@gmx.de)
FAQ
The format is new, we will try and add clarifications here.
- Do I need to be present at the live meeting to moderate a topic? No, just make sure the topic has one or two people for the live session.
