Location and Time

Co-located with the Yocto Project Summit held on May 25-26, 2021.

The Developers Meeting is scheduled for May 25th between 15:30 and 20:00 UTC. The exact times for each individual topic are TBD.

Format

As always, we will collect topics on the wiki at https://www.openembedded.org/OEDVM_2021.

For the actual developer meeting, there will be pre-assigned timeslots for each topic. The moderator(s) have the option of opening with a short introduction/presentation to introduce the topic.

Topic Ideas

  • Insight into the life of a Maintainer
    • Moderator(s): Armpit
      • The good, bad and ugly of Maintaining Poky, meta-openembedded, meta-security and a BSP.
  • BSPs: best practice exemplars, cross-project issue tracker, linters, incentive loop design
    • Moderator(s):
  • OE Resourcing: gaps, role naming, work metadata, bridging OSS/commercial
    • Moderator(s):
  • X11 is dead; long live X11! what's to become of core-image-sato?
    • Moderator(s): Trevor Woerner, Alexander Kanavin, Joshua Watt, Ross Burton
    • Premise:
      • the Yocto Project provides a sample distribution (poky) and images (core-image-minimal, core-image-base, core-image-full-cmdline…) to give users examples to follow and provide a basis for testing purposes
      • core-image-sato was created to fill the GUI niche as an example and for testing
      • core-image-sato is based on gtk+ 3.x and x11
      • both gtk+ 3 and x11 are EOL/unmaintained
    • Discussion:
      • do we need a GUI image going forward (as an example, for testing purposes)?
      • how much testing does core-image-sato receive?
      • how many teams have based their work on core-image-sato?
      • if a GUI image is still needed, upon which toolkit and compositor should it be based?
      • what's to become of core-image-sato?
      • what's to become of x11 support in oecore?
  • SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)
    • Moderator(s): Trevor Woerner, Armin Kuster
    • Premise:
      • the requirement to provide a software bill of materials when delivering software to a customer/user is becoming more and more common
      • e.g. a recent Executive Order in the United States requires an SBOM for security reasons
      • as a project that creates images from sources, YP/OE is perfectly positioned to generate SBOMs for its artifacts
      • we already generate similar information for software licence compliance via SPDX
    • Discussion:
      • meta-doubleopen seems to be moving in this direction
      • what information is required for an SBOM, what are the requirements to create a legally compliant SBOM?
      • SPDX seems to be the best format for us to use, any objections?
      • in our builds when/where do we generate the SBOM? do_package/do_packagedata? archiver/do_populate_lic?
      • we already generate various manifests (e.g. buildhistory) should we replace this information with proper SBOMs?
  • Improving Layer quality: Layerindex combined with a layerchecker
    • Moderator(s): Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf@gmx.de)
