BoF: The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded
Talkat Open Source Summit Europe + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2019 · on Monday, 2019-10-28· at 18:00· Forum 2·
summary
Project just released Zeus (Oct 23) with a planned dot update in December and a 3.1 cycle aiming for April; an LTS proposal recommends two years of support and follows stable branch processes but asks for volunteers. Mailing lists move to a new LF-hosted domain. CI uses auto-builders that run in ~6 hours in batches of 30–60 patches and test many QEMU targets; about 15–20 commits land per day but only ~10 core contributors regularly maintain things. Regular planning, engineering and Thursday bug‑triage meetings and a Yocto summit are active.
