I'm more than happy to talk about what we're doing with Yocto, why and
what the differences are between Poky and OpenEmbedded. I covered a lot
of areas at OEDEM but I appreciate this didn't reach the people who
weren't there and I would like those people to understand what we're
doing too.

I'm not sure what the best forum is to have those discussions. I can
answer emails or we could do something more interactive on IRC or
similar, I'm open to ideas really...

Cheers,

Richard
