I think multilib is of interest and layer tooling. Some sort of prototype
to build upon oe-core to create own distro. Runtime regression testing
would be another topic we could talk if there is interest.

I would like to propose using llvm as alternative to gcc so people who
dont want GPLv3 can have an alternative.


Jefro and I discussed where to reach I have some idea but if I am lost
I will give a
call to Jefro. If someone needs me call me at 408.666.6524
