I've kept a low profile on this issue since I'm obviously heavily
involved with Yocto and hence it could be argued I'm not impartial. I
had hoped someone else on the TSC would therefore pick up this
discussion but that hasn't happened. I have driven issues in the past,
this is one I really can't drive alone.

The TSC have been having trouble managing to organise meetings,
organising minutes and have not been very responsive recently. There are
a whole spectrum of reasons for that but at a time when OE really needs
technical guidance this is a problem.

The message here isn't to the oe-members list in the correct form so
this isn't an official vote at this time but if it were, I think I'd
find myself in the unusual position of voting in favour of a vote of no
confidence for a group I'm actually part of :/.

I'd actually like to see people with the technical understanding and
time to spend help guiding OE such Koen and Khem on the TSC.

Cheers,
