1. pick a chair

___________________________________
2. new issues

___________________________________
3. lingering issues

a. role of the TSC
	(http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2013-April/038756.html)
	proposal: monthly IRC meeting to replace one of the bi-weekly TSC meetings, open to all
	split the TSC role in two.. have a infrastructure, etc TSC similar to now.. as well as 'resolve technical conflicts'
=> 	post RFC on mailing list (RP)

4. projects in progress - status

a. oe-classic recipe migration status
	documentation on synchronizing layer usage - working group item

b. oe-core release

c. meta-oe appends/overlayed recipes RFC
	still remaining: busybox and gst-ffmpeg bbappends, xserver-nodm-init
	many recipes (.bbappends) still using PRINC
	Warning: PRINC is deprecated, the use of the PR server is recommended, see ...
=>	RFC switching wholeheartedly to libav (bluelightning)
=>	issue warning, plan to make it an error in 1.5, revisit before release (RP)
=>	document PRINC - PR server migration steps (fray)

d. 1.5 planning
	planning mostly complete - bugs will be considered for next cycle at this point
	RP on sabbatical

e. python 3
	need to start informing people of it -now-
	loop around to decide python version etc

f. release status notification
=>	maintain a wiki page to summarize release goals (jefro)

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Styleguide
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Recipe_%26_Patch_Style_Guide
=> still need to de-dup these, need a volunteer
