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

Since this will be a virtual meeting we are going to change the format around to try and make it easier to get input from the global community and still maintain an in person portion.

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
  • 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
    • 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?
  • Improving Layer quality: Layerindex combined with a layerchecker
    • Moderator(s): Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf@gmx.de)

FAQ

The format is new, we will try and add clarifications here.

  1. Do I need to be present at the live meeting to moderate a topic? No, just make sure the topic has one or two people for the live session.
