Engineering Update
RP:
  slowdown with vacation
  merged m2 & m3 together
    m2 deadline for wayland & systemd, smart
  smart changes in
  wayland & systemd not yet

  in meta-oe for a long time, needs to be resolved
  not mergable in that form
  sunday deadline for m3

  looking at automate

    prioritize systemd for now
  dependency tracking information
    don't know how much it impacts performance
DS:
  considerable interesting things going on
  kiciking off dev effort on webhob
  alex damian on tech side
RP:
  want to set up a point of discussion for interested parties
  testopia - documenting test cases
  intel, wr, huawei working together
  publicly documents test cases & methods
  people can collaborate & submit other test cases
  if interested, that's a great place to start looking
  ptest adds specific tests to recipes
  at point to start rolling out to certain recipes
  can test whether package upgrade breaks things etc
  wanted to see for a long time
  mechanism - generate additional package with makefiles & test binaries
  they are run on target in some form
  thus bash has a bash-ptest
  standard script in std place: runner
  look for runners in dirs
  need glue logic for qemu
