I thought the idea was that meta-openembedded would remain distro- and machine- neutral and that the BSP bits would live in separate repos. Whether we want one repo per machine or some kind of shared repository with a bunch of distros in is, I guess, something of an open question. In the short term you could obviously host them on github or somewhere. (I was originally planning to do that with meta-micro, but it turned out to be fractionally more convenient to host it on my own git server so I did that instead.) In the longer term I don't think there's any reason we couldn't host those kinds of distro layers on openembedded.org, either in separate repositories or a single shared one. I know there was some board discussion a few months ago about whether or not oe.org should be in the business of hosting third party BSPs but I'm not quite sure what the outcome of that was. p.
