LTS
Yocto-Compatibility requires pushing patches upstream, but Yocto doesn't handle QA for old releases A lot of work for the software vendors rp: have new/separate LTS tree for older releases crofton: how to coordinate between ppl who want this, collect interest in the wiki add maintainer information to the layer repos? rp: write a proposal? → enough interest to set this up
action: Armin will start conversation on the Architecture list Not completed
Windriver ‘setup’ Demo
Conclusion: We want it in OE instead of Yocto (unanimous) Mark: Once able to contribute, talk to halstead for new repo. Repo published. OE has not taken over
Notes: Layer Index was recently updated and this was required before progress can be made on promoting this tool.
I would like to talk about the next steps at the OEDAM, now that everything is public.

Conclusion: Mark, RP, Chris and others should look to create a proposal about resolving the confusion over layer order/priority/etc.
Changes to deploy_image
Conclusion: Document
Discussion on mesa and splitting libgbm
Conclusion: RP: Topic should be discussed with Ross on mailing list.
Discussion of recipe maintainers for oe-core and beyond
