[Trevor Woerner <trevor.woerner@linaro.org>]

Here are my notes from today's monthly OE/TSC meeting which takes place
the first Tuesday of every month on freenode's #oe channel.

attendees: bluelightning, Jefro, RP, denix, tlwoerner, fray, nerdboy,
kergoth

topic #1: upcoming release
- schedule: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_1.6_Schedule
- check RP's email

- test report for rc1 is available:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/charts/combo.html

topic #2: SOBBW (state of bitbake world) or world build status
- http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Bitbake_World_Status
- fixing items on the list still needs lots of help, helpers needs a way
to organize themselves to avoid duplication (email, wiki, irc, ...)
- one cause/issue is people sending patches then disappearing, lots of
unmaintained recipes
- possible solutions: meta-nonworking, blacklist.bbclass, smaller "core"
layer

topic #3: website infrastructure and updates
- at ELCE2013 plans were made for a new
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page
- no plans yet for OE wiki cleanup
- unfortunately the people working on this weren't available to provide
an update

open topics
- please make sure any requests for 1.7 are in bugzilla
- recipe style unification between OE and Yocto Project

action items:
- RP to look for remnants of BROKEN = "1" (?)
- fray to move blacklist issue forward with JaMa
- tlwoerner to sync style guides

next meeting: May 6th 2014, same time, same place
