[yocto-ab] Yocto Project AB VOTE: Boundary Devices

[Steve Sakoman]

Yes. I think this is exactly the kind of company we'd like to have
using the Yocto Project (hereafter referred to as Yocto ;-) ), since
there is a multiplier effect.

If the board comes from the vendor with Yocto support, their customers
are all the more likely to choose Yocto for their development.

BTW, I've just started working with a client using meta-fsl and we've
both been pleased with it so far.
