Invitation: OpenEmbedded public TSC/workgroup meeting

Invitation: OpenEmbedded public TSC/workgroup meeting

[Paul Eggleton]

Hi all,

Please join the OpenEmbedded TSC (Technical Steering Committee) this coming 
Tuesday for a public IRC meeting to discuss ongoing community technical work.

As you may be aware, the role of the OpenEmbedded TSC is currently evolving to 
focus our efforts on setting technical direction and resolving conflicts (should 
they arise), instead of spearheading specific technical contributions. While 
each of us expects to continue to be involved in technical contributions, we 
want to reach out to the OpenEmbedded community and work to establish a better 
way for work to be done. The plan is to hold these public meetings on a 
monthly basis and reduce separate TSC meetings to quarterly or as-needed.

Time: Tuesday September 10th at 16:00 GMT (9am PDT, 11am CDT, 12 EDT, 18:00 
CEST, 17:00 BST)
Where: Freenode IRC, channel #oe

The goal of this meeting is to continue to discuss outstanding tasks, discuss 
and collect any new tasks or issues, and establish one or more task-
force/working group/etc in order to accomplish the tasks.

While we are still working on a more formal agenda, we expect to cover topics 
such as:

* SPDX integration, other licensing issues
* janitor tasks (general cleanup/maintenance activities)

Cheers,
Paul

I'm unsure if I'll have internet access around this time as I'm
travelling today. Incase I can't make it, I briefly want to say that
we should set up a wiki page for non-urgent janitor tasks and try to
make a list of those tasks which we think could easily be handled by a
new contributor to OE/Yocto. That would hopefully make it easier for
people to learn the ropes and get involved. If this sort of thing
already exists then I've obviously missed it.

I assume that an IRC log will be posted after the meeting, is that correct?

Absolutely. Between OE and the Yocto Project we do have a couple of wiki 
pages:

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OpenEmbeddedJanitors
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Janitors

We need to work on getting this information into one place though and turning 
it into a reasonable list with pointers on how people can get started.

That's correct.

Cheers,
Paul
