I wasn't taking offence, just pointing out to people who were not aware that is has quite a pedigree. It's certainly rapidly expanding at the moment in a very organised manner with solid platform support.

Hi Jeremiah, a colleague got parts of the Netbook UX running with OpenEmbedded, but this was back at the time of OpenEmbedded classic. Currently I mainly use OpenEmbedded Core, but lately I tried the new Poky release and liked it. Using a GUI (Hob) to get an overview of available packages is very comfortable. Bitbake itself is a really smart program, using Autotools informations that already exists for most packages makes it very easy to add new software. In example I took an already programmed Qt application and slightly adjusted the makefile, used a basic recipe template and compiled it, that's all and IMHO it is amazing. Of course it is not always that simple, but for stand alone applications that only provide a GUI and some logic it works well out of the box. Starting to mature? Poky had been used in commercial products for several years when it was acquired by Intel in 2008. :) Ross, looking at the realignment of OpenEmbedded Core and Yocto, IMO, the new release was a great step forward. Personally I pretty much like the process, in which Yocto benefits from patches sent for OE Core and vice versa. Now and then I still wondered about why Intel didn't adapt Meego in Yocto/Poky, because both are very interesting projects. And right now I wonder where Meego will be in the future.

Currently I mainly use OpenEmbedded Core, but lately I tried the new Poky release and liked it. Using a GUI (Hob) to get an overview of available packages is very comfortable. I saw that they've added a GUI front end for that. Should make it easier to use.

Well there are a lot of people with @intel.com in their email addresses that seem to be involved in the project so perhaps we'll see some use of it in the future. With Tizen perhaps?

Re: [MeeGo-dev] Yocto (new release)
I'm investigating Yocto myself. I kicked off a build of 1.1 over the weekend and it's all baked and ready to look at this morning.
