The raw OEDEM meeting notes, where if you read carefully (and between the lines :) you can see the suggestion of using Poky as a new core being discussed: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded/39108 Call for open discussion and future plans for advancing OpenEmbedded and Yocto Project: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded/39114 -- Denys _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
