Messages to the team:
1.  Please complete your items and get them to patch review asap, do not wait until the end of M3 if you can.
2.  If you own one of those items not started yet for M3, please take a look and see if you can start them asap since we only have 3 weeks left for feature development in M3.
3. While you do coding, please keep the performance in mind.
 
Agenda
 
* Opens collection - 5 min (Song)
* Yocto 1.1.1 point release update - 10 min (Josh/Beth)
  - Josh: We have a branch ready to be build. Matthew had some issues last week, will continue to work on those. One fix is in master, but rather large and has not been tested. Propose to have another point release 1.1.2 to include those fixes and not to delay 1.1.1 release.
  - Matthew: Found issues around useradd stuff, file locking with useradd. Doing more testing, have 2-3 months before next release. RP: there are some open issues in this area, should allow more time and put these in the next point release.
  - Beth is generating RC for Edison right. Last week there was some autobuilder upgrade, some of them is software. Build history only happens on nightly master. Over the weekend, there are some issues caused instability. Beth will talk to Michael to manage the infrastructure better. Master build looks good. Only one issue. Everything should be stable right now.
  - Beth will sent emails out listing changes and impact before autobuilder hw/sw upgrade going forward.
