Key Status/Updates:

·        2.3 M3 has not yet build but progress is being made on stabilizing/merging the patches.

·        As promised, the codename for 2.4 will be announced now and will be ‘rocko’

·        We have been hit with a number of problems around minimal builds of eSDK, where there were problems in the autobuilder implementation of this, minimal eSDKs themselves and changes to the testing infrastructure for minimal eSDKs. With so many moving pieces it's taken Ross/RP several days to unwind the problems and fix them. The good news is this issue is now resolved.

·        We are not going to make the move from smart to dnf in 2.3, there simply isn’t enough development time left and the feature isn’t ready.

·        We have merged ovmf, the queued wic changes, many queued version updates, some selftest speedup optimizations, 4.10 kernel changes, the YP compatible testing script, and many other patches.

·        Still pending are:

o   Merging go into OE-Core?

o   Separate out elderly GPLv2 into a separate layer?

Go continues to suffer build failures, I have a patchset for gplv2 ready for testing and have posted on the openembedded-architecture list about that change.

·        Since we’re into the stabilization phase of 2.3, planning for 2.4 will be beginning soon and we’re starting to plan out 2.4 in the bugzilla. If you have suggestions for 2.4, please ensure they are in bugzilla.
