topic #2: SOBBW (state of bitbake world) or world build status
- http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Bitbake_World_Status
- fixing items on the list still needs lots of help, helpers needs a way to organize themselves to avoid duplication (email, wiki, irc, ...)
- one cause/issue is people sending patches then disappearing, lots of unmaintained recipes
- possible solutions: meta-nonworking, blacklist.bbclass, smaller "core" layer

topic #3: website infrastructure and updates
- at ELCE2013 plans were made for a new
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page
- no plans yet for OE wiki cleanup
- unfortunately the people working on this weren't available to provide an update

open topics
- please make sure any requests for 1.7 are in bugzilla
- recipe style unification between OE and Yocto Project

action items:
- RP to look for remnants of BROKEN = "1" (?)
- fray to move blacklist issue forward with JaMa
- tlwoerner to sync style guides

next meeting: May 6th 2014, same time, same place

Almost there, ka6sox thinks he has the solution for fixing the PHP issues we're having, spoke to him regarding it last week and he is on track to fix it when he gets back from working away from home.
