Hi all,

we didn't really have much to talk....



== Renaming the org.openmebdded.dev branch ==

We were carrying the org.openembedd.dev branch name from the monotone
era into the git era and the TSC was asked to consider renaming it to
'master' which is the git default for the main development tree. Now the
actual change on the server will be minor what is of a bigger concern
are the existing users and documentation.

The TSC would like to make the following proposal:

  a.) Contributor's will be asked to push to master, a git-hook
      will prevent pushes to the old branch name.
  b.) The default branch will be changed to 'master' and the
      documentation will be updated.
  c.) To ease this for existing users and to reduce the amount of
      support org.openembedded.dev will track master and remains
      available for a limited but long amount of time.


The TSC is not sure on how to implement c.) and this will determine when
we will be able to switch over and the schedule of doing so.
