  • If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.
  • Most items planned to be worked upon should now be in the bugzilla with appropriately detailed entries there.
  • A summary of the 2.8 planning risk items was included in an email to the yocto-ab list:https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto-ab/2019-May/002334.html
  • The project is planning to adopt SPDX license headers in its source code where practical, OE-Core now has the markup on its scripts too.
  • Mailing lists are moving to groups.io instead of our current mailman setup on 27th May. This shouldn’t impact users directly, more details will be sent to the mailing lists in due course.
  • We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
  • We’re about ready to switch over to gcc 9 by default with one more issue needing to be resolved on mips.
