Do you want to carve your name in the history of the Yocto Project? Or is your goal to expand your embedded Linux expertise? One way to achieve both glory and skill is to contribute to the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded.
After explaining what components constitute Poky, Yocto Project's reference distribution, this presentation will give you tips for finding bugs and improvements, and many practical details for contributing to Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded. The project welcomes multiple kinds of contributions: code, documentation, patch reviews, experience sharing, support to users... Believe a still relatively new comer, you will really feel welcome in our community.
Michael Opdenacker is the current maintainer of the BitBake and Yocto Project Manuals. He started using OpenEmbedded in 2004, being blessed by guidance from some of the Founding Fathers, in particular Mickey Lauer and Phil Blundell. After a long pause, he is back and happy to see what has changed, and what hasn't.
