During “weekend” (Thursday — Sunday) I was in Berlin, Germany where OEDEM took place. It was nice to finally meet people whom I know via Internet for years.

- Florian Boor from Kernel concepts

We had many discussions about important OpenEmbedded things like problems, policies, creating some kind of OpenEmbedded Foundation for managing domains, trademarks, donations etc. Some of results are already happening:
- removal of MAINTAINER fields (which we are going to replace with /MAINTAINERS file)
- switching to
task-baseinstead of the old onetask-bootstrapto get clean images with just needed packages - removal of
ipaq-pxa270machines in favour ofhx4700,hx2000machines - new mailing lists got created:
— openembedded-issues with information from bugtracker
— openembedded-users for all normal users which are not ready yet for openembedded-devel list
— openembedded-announce for announcing
More stuff will follow soon. I’m going to write documentation about task-base stuff, how to switch distro/machine to use it etc.
