*The Yocto Project TSC has determined how it plans to operate and put the details into the appropriate wiki page: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TSC. It is intended as a decision making body of last resort, if there are issues people wish it to address, please raise them with one of its members.
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0
*After discussion in various places its been agreed that the next project release will be “3.0”, to replace “2.8”. The 2.8 placeholder may continue to be used, particularly in the bugzilla. There are many good reasons to bump the version, the most recent being the runqueue changes allowing build optimizations based upon output equivalence (see below) but also including the new project governance, the autobuilder, improved test coverage any many other things.
*There are patches available which enable runqueue optimisations based on output comparisons of tasks. This removes the need to run later tasks if the output is unchanged and is based upon the previous hash equivalence server work. This feature should be a significant win for the users and is now working to a level where we’ll likely make this a key feature of the next release. These patches are being tested in master-next at present.
*There are also changes in -next which are being considered which change several bitbake APIs around runqueue. The feeling is now may be the best time to clean up several interfaces. If there are other API fixes people want to see, now is a good time to mention them.
*The project is working on some mentor and mentee opportunities. Please see the separate email from Nicolas on the yocto list about this.
