Meta-Data	OE Comparison	Compare Yocto core set against integration work in OE and other distributions looking for bug fixes, (relevant) feature enhancements, and integration/policy hints.	1	Accept	Mark	Meta-data
BSPs	Support for AVX as in kernel 2.6.30. - Already in 1.0?	Any toolchain support needed? Is it already in GCC? Ensure part of toolchain update (if not already present). Verify with Bruce that AVX is enabled in kernel version XXX?	1	Accept	Saul / Nitin	Jay / ECG
Misc	User creation at post-install		1	Accept	Mark (ScottG)	Architect
Build	Autobuilder maintenance	Bring scripts into configuration or get git repo working for those that can't be brought in. (~1.5 weeks)	1	Accept	Beth	Beth
Build	License tracking	Get common licenses for all packages. (takes ~3 days)	1	Accept	Beth	Beth
Overall	Process Improvement	Host a retrospective to discuss what went well and what can be improved in Yocto 1.0.	1	Accept	Beth	Beth
Project	Release Readiness	Release Readiness Meeting	1	Jun-6	Julie	Julie
Point Release	Build/Release/QA	We need a point release to fix bugs targeted for point release. (Beths end: ~1-2 days of work with PRC. Release is trivial.)	1	Accept	Beth/Yongkang	Team
Performance	Plan for Performance	This is a placeholder to spend time this milestone determining the plan for improving performance. Various P1, P2, P3 tasks will be output as a result of this planning.	1	Review	Richard/Dongxiao	Team
Documentation	OOB documentation	Create an out of box guide for giveaway systems built using Yocto by EO May.	1	Review	ScottR	Julie
kernel	kernel tools	refactor/clean the kernel tools for more general use. include the tools withing the kernel repo, not in a separate repo	1	Review	Bruce	Bruce
kernel	kernel build	auto yoctization. allow the building of arbitrary repos and kernel versions via the yocto kernel meta data	1	Review	Bruce	Bruce
kernel	kernel update	kernel dev/next repo created. feature merges (fs, boot, tiny, controllers, etc). reference tree merges (omap, davinci, etc)	1	Review	Bruce	Bruce

M2 (May 30 to Jul 25 -- Design Complete Jun 6, Dev Complete Jul 4, Stabilize Complete Jul 18, Release Complete Jul 25)

Group	Feature Name	Description	Priority	Status	Owner	Source	Comments / Bugzilla Links
1.0 Carryover	Image Creator	finish the Image Creator to add features pushed out from 1.0	1	Accept	Joshua + Jessica	1.0 Carryover
Architecture	Layer Tooling	This includes the architectural work plus implementing the changes	1	Review	Richard	Architect
Meta-data	Upstream our patches	Placeholder for time for the team to upstream patches	1	Accept	Saul	Meta-Data Team
Meta-data	Error handling in bitbake	add additional error handling to bitbake (check bugzilla for existing error handling and warning bugs)	1	Accept	Saul	Architect
ADT	Changes for Image Creator	Eclipse changes pending Image Creator	1	Review	Jessica	ADT Team
BSP	Tutorials	Create tutorials and documentation on how to create a BSP	1	Accept	Tom, Scott	Team
Kernel	Fast Boot Time	2 second boot time target	1	Accept	Darren	Team
Build	Meta-Targets	Part of the challenge of autobuilder is that you have to go into autobuilder, edit script, reconfigure, to change just one build target. This is error prone. What we need is a meta-target where Beth can say she wants to build Poky-image-sato for QEMU x86 and have it just do that. Beth thinks this is done via an override to the web page. (takes ~2 weeks)	1	Accept	Beth	Beth
Build	License tracking	Build a parser to do license tracking more gracefully and make sure all recipes are correct. (takes ~2 weeks)	1	Accept	Beth	Beth
Build	Autobuilder Infrastructure	Bring up additional autobuilders and work with sysadmin to configure. (2 days per machine for OS. 1 hour for ab setup)	1	Accept	Beth	Beth
Misc	adding eglibc config control	this goes with the package config options	1.5	Accept	Mark	Architect
Misc	Directory Ownership		1.5	Accept	Mark	Architect	a bit concerned this will take longer then expected

BSPs	BSP update/intro	determine and integrate / create arch reference BSPs (e500, Cortex, ARM, MIPs)	2	Review	Bruce/Richard/team	Bruce
kernel	BSP config cleanup	BSP config cleanup/refactoring. Update to new kernel rev. Investigate Kconfig alignment	1	Review	Bruce	Bruce
