[OE-core] Yocto Project changes in progress

[Jeff Osier-Mixon]

 Hello everyone. I'd like to briefly address rumors around Richard Purdie's
transition from Intel to a more neutral position, and Intel's reduction in
resources for the project.

We set up the Yocto Project in 2010 through Linux Foundation, with over 20
member organizations, so it would function as a true open source project -
neutral, unbiased, and well distributed. Those things are what make open
source projects less vulnerable to any one person or company. This is
actually a very exciting transitional time for the project, and all
existing member organizations are fully behind the project. We will let
people know details as they are available.

Meanwhile, the 2.5 "Sumo" release is on the way and should be released
soon, the 2.6 planning process has started in earnest (please
participate!), and we are excited to see what the future has in store for
the project.
