[yocto] [OE-core] Carrier Grade layer proposal

[Joe MacDonald]

Hey Alex,

I've been away from this for a bit but now I'm getting time to look at
it again and I was wondering if you had any deeper level of detail you
could share about the work going on in meta-cgl.  Obviously since this
is a new registration and one that will look rather different from all
of the other CGL registrations currently, those of us in the CGL
workgroup were quite interested to see this happen.  Personally I'm
also interested in this since it's the kind of thing I've been doing
for a long time now and if I can, I'd like to help out.  In
particular, if you've got a list of, say, the category B+ items, that
might be something I can do that will be independent of your work on
the more active cat-A stuff.  OTOH, cat-A is easy to work on since
those are the items I saw when I was working with meta-cgl a month or
so back.  I know you guys are focused on your part of it, but if you
had sort of a "here's how to help us" guide, that'd be awesome.

Also, I probably missed it, but is the intent to use either the yocto
list or the oe list for all meta-cgl discussions, or do you have a
dedicated list we can sign up for?  I see you have guidance for
sending submissions to meta-cgl, but is that a list that's open to the
community, or is it an internal alias / distribution list for Enea?

Thanks,
-J.
