Package config option enhancement - Plan	Plan our approach to package config option enhancement	2	13-May	from 1.0	Richard	M1, Sprint C
Upstream our patches - phase 1	Have upstream status updated on 90% of patches (so that we can have a status update)	1	Accept	Meta-data	Saul	M1, Sprint C - we won\'t be at 90% - Saul will have numbers by EOW and we can revise estimate.
3G - Design	We have an ofono recipe but need some integration work done. This milestone is a status check and design update. HW needs to be received at this time.	2	Saul checking	Meta-data	Saul (Dongxiao)	M1, Sprint C Need hardware and infrastructure to test 3G (MeeGo team has this)
pam patch integration	add PAM patches throughout the system switchable via the PAM feature (Mark H)	2	Mark checking	Meta-data	WR Distro team	M1, Sprint C - does WR Distro own? Need to get true timeline from them. Mark will follow up.

Tarball Doc process	Right now tarball docs are frozen shortly before a release. The tarball never gets updated beyond that during subsequent documentation development. However, website docs are periodically updated as changes are made during the next development cycle. We need a documentation process where the tarball docs are updated along with the website docs. Perhaps releasing and building a separate documentation tarball is an answer... This whole scheme needs thought about and something implemented.	1	13-May	From scratch	ScottR	M1, Sprint C - Just waiting for yocto-docs repo to be merged.
Enhanced Performance	Also, environmental requirements/suggestions for expected performance - long-term goal is to build in under 1 hour; short-term goal is to build faster than v1.0This is a task to define the performance plan.	1	Accept	from 1.0	Richard/Dongxiao	M1, Sprint C

M2 Sprint A (June 6 to June 10)

Feature Name	Description	Priority	Status	Source	Owner	Comments / Bugzilla Links
Live images	make live images their own image type	2	Accept	RP Notes	Saul	M2, Sprint A
More test cases about toolchain in autobuilder		2	Accept	ADT Team	Jessica	Status check in M2, Sprint A, M3, Sprint A
Indigo update	Update to the latest Eclipse release (Indigo)	2	Accept	ADT Team	Jessica	Status check in M2, Sprint A, M3, Sprint A
Systemtap integration	Make it easy and convenient for the user to write and execute Systemtap scripts from the IDE. http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/systemtap/ might provide a good starting point and may be something we can contribute to. We may also need to contribute further up the chain to provide e.g. remote target capabilities.	2	Accept	Tom	Jessica	Status check in M2, Sprint A, M3, Sprint A
\'perf scripting\' integration	Make it easy and convenient for the user to write and execute \'perf scripts\' from the IDE. We should be able to leverage and build on the Systemtap integration for this.	2	Accept	Tom	Jessica	Status check in M2, Sprint A, M3, Sprint A
Finish LSB \"distribution\" work - complete	Complete all work: Merge patches which are pushed during yocto 1.0. Add packages(qt3,xdg-* ...) LSB Test Suite need. Hardware platform x86 and ppc32(if qt4 can be supported) can be finished.	2	Accept	Meta-data	WR Distro Team	M2, Sprint A

Changes for Image Creator - phase 3	Phase 3: package format job done + image output type job done	1	Accept	ADT Team	Jessica	M2, Sprint B
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	M2, Sprint B
kernel bloat - analysis	target = boot a minimal image in < 8M - analysis complete	1	Accept	Darren	Darren	M2, Sprint B

M2 Sprint C (June 20 to June 24)

Feature Name	Description	Priority	Status	Source	Owner	Comments / Bugzilla Links

Enhance the deploy part in remote debug	ADT is currently using org.eclipse.cdt.remote.launch for remote debug. One limitation in this plug-in is that it can only deploy one single file to the target during the debug. Though it is ok for debugging static linked program, debugging dynamic linked program might require deploying multiple files(including executables and libraries) to the target.	2	Accept	Lianhao	Jessica	M2 Sprint D
BSP builds	Autobuilder git fetcher improvements (3 days)	2	Accept	from 1.0	Beth	M2, Sprint D
kernel bloat - development	target = boot a minimal image in < 8M - development complete	1	Accept	Darren	Darren	M2, Sprint D
Tracing: Systemtap usability in Yocto	Right now, there are instructions on the wiki on how to configure and use Systemtap with Yocto. While straightforward, they are tedious and unlikely to be useful to most people pressed for time. We need to make it easier to use - in addition to documentation/HOWTO tasks listed elsewhere on this page, we need to make it usable \'out of the box\' (i.e. outside of ADT) e.g. all paths and configuration handled via script or something similar	2	Accept	Tom	Tom	M2, Sprint D
Tracing/profiling HOWTOs	Create a document or extend the current Yocto tracing wiki page to explain in detail how to use all the tracing tools in Yocto. It should detail not only how to use each tool individually, but also how to use them in conjunction with each other, highlighting situations in which each is most useful. There should also be some extensive worked examples of real-life use-cases and how they could be investigated using the Yocto tracing/profiling tools.	2	Accept	Tom	Tom	M2, Sprint D

M4 (Aug 15 to Oct 6 -- Stabilize Complete Aug 29, Release Complete Oct 3)

Feature Name	Description	Priority	Status	Source	Owner	Comments / Bugzilla Links
Yocto Project Development Guide	This manual would be an over-arching document that frames the complete development cycle within Yocto Project. The idea here is that the document would be an umbrella document that spawned and referenced subsequent documents. The organization would be the first chapter overviews the major development pieces such as recipe creation, building, debugging, publishing, fail-safing, back-door hook creation, etc. This manual will also include migration information. Scoping would be about two weeks and length would probably be about 40 pages. Overall development time will likely take up to the release given my experience on the creation of the ADT manual (there is no uniterruped time).	1	Not Started	from scratch	ScottR	M4, Scott will send the more detailed milestones
Various Demo Videos	The idea here is to create screen-capture type tutorials similar to what exists for the ADT Eclipse Plug-in. However, we want to contract out some help for professional voice-over talent to be used with the images. These don\'t have to be limited to screen-capture material but could include well-done PPT decks - similar to how other business units in Intel create various training modules. For 1.1 it would be good to capture the script for the existing ADT Eclipse Plug-in module and have it voiced over. Also, for 1.1 it would be good to create a similar module for the Image Creator application.	2	Not Started	From ADT module and scratch	ScottR	Q3 at the earliest
Open-source Newbie Information	This information will be for developers new to open-source. These people do not know what IRC means. Targeted for developers coming from a non-open-source environment. I think the best place for this information would be the website. I haven\'t looked yet but I suspect information already exists on the web. For Yocto it will be a matter of collecting the best and most useful information, orginizing it and properly referencing/leveraging it.	2	Not Started	From scratch	ScottR	M4, this is part of the Yocto Development Guide
OOB documentation	Create an out of box guide for giveaway systems built using Yocto.	1	Accept	Julie	ScottR	Julie to research timing on this. ~Q3 is current thinking.
