The 2015 OpenEmbedded Developer's European Meeting will take place Friday, Oct 9, 2015 in Dublin, Ireland. Part of this meeting will also constitute the annual OE General Assembly, and some corporation/eV matters will be discussed.
Contents
Location and Time
The Gibson Hotel
Point Village
Dublin 1, Ireland
+353 1 681 5000

Gibson Hotel is at the end of the red LUAS line, adjacent to the stadium. Come up to the 3rd floor and follow the signs for the Cordoba room. (the sign says "Mtg", that's us) There is coffee here. See you all soon
OpenEmbedded eV General Assembly
We have a short administrative meeting before starting the Developer meeting. All are welcome for this.
- Proposal to dissolve the current e.V. and re-constituting it in the U.S. to reduce the administrative burden for the project.
- Define a method for identifying lapsed memberships.
- Proxy form File:Proxy instructions-oe.pdf
- Meeting Minutes
Agenda
- Metadata
- OVERRIDE syntax: is it time to reconsider _?
- meta-yocto -> meta-poky. People are still spending too much time explaining reality. (Crofton)
- BSPs (tlwoerner)
- Standards for BSP behavior. (Crofton)
-
feedback on layerindex to indicate BSP:- last successful compile (feedback from outside builders?)
- last successful boot
- master branch parsability (perhaps ties into bugzilla 7792?)
- several BSP layers to choose from for some boards, none for others (linux.com SBC survey)
-
guidelines/requirements for setting up a new BSP on layerindex- bugzilla
- mailing list (use general mailing list(s) for patches?)
- git.yoctoproject.org/<yourbsplayer>
- should a BSP layer ever use = ?
- Processes
- LayerIndex feature requests (tlwoerner)
- build feedback (autobuilders and off-site)
- Build and test failures on the public Autobuilder (Bluelightening)
- Systemd
- Systemd packaging. As new things appear, they are lumped into one package. Update split? (Crofton relaying info)
- Can we get systemd's first-boot support to work? It is currently disabled in the systemd recipe by touching /etc/machine-id. (Saur)
- How to make it easy to setup a system "the systemd way"? New DISTRO_FEATURE or IMAGE_FEATURE? (Saur)
- Link /bin -> /usr/bin, /lib -> /usr/lib, etc.
- Change ${systemd_unitdir} to /usr/lib.
- Make the systemctl wrapper install in ${systemd_unitdir} rather than ${systemconf}/systemd.
- This should also happen when installing a package in runtime.
- Advocacy
- There are still a lot of projects (too many?) not using OE (tlwoerner)
- why aren't more projects using OE?
- how can we get more people using OE?
- who should we be targeting? (build people (obviously), kernel devs? user-space devs?)

BSPs & Layer Index
Paul described layer index process & how it works BBP layers also come into toaster, expose to people, dependency list very important - snapshot when setting up toaster module branches - will look in repo for branches some layers don't have a master branch, don't show content - need way to present in UI REST API DD automatically parse layer to check for required content? PE do want, necessitates background queuing process parse w/dependencies also affects YP Compatible, RP's proposed layer validation tool error reporting system - tie together with info in layer index, intention there JH ability to register layer & specify quality ------------------------------------------ not getting resources to work on core BSPs people working on own BSPs - not really a complaint, but an observation SH would love to see REST APIs PE would love some help with the layer index RP love ideas, but people need to resource, step up & drive ------------------------------------------ => oe driving toward machine readable files, can also drive from layer test (yp compat) side - KK ------------------------------------------ oe-core or oe-devel? oe-core ------------------------------------------ => publicize defs of each list? discuss on members list - where to overall architecture discussions belong discussion: decided on oe-core oe needs its own goals, interact with the yocto project ------------------------------------------ status email to oe-core list, useful? to most people. cross-postd to yocto list KK should be about oe-core, not about poky => TSC to add new mailing list specifically about project architecture, no patches, and determine list name ------------------------------------------ KK realize that OE has no project vision RP is there any vision that needs to be represented to YP, and are there resources KK as a project take an active role to work with YP marketing/visibility standpoint, wear OE hat if list of oe bugs that should be raised, bring to philip -> KK bring discussion to new mailing list ------------------------------------------ TW can new layers use bugzilla PE struggle with volume of bugs currently in triage process RP triage process - yp has taken on oe-core eg. don't want many bugs from idle layers, YP judged on metrics from that system SW some layers already in that state DD attended call regularly
