Sponsored Session - BoF: Yocto Project - What's Next?
summary
Community secures German S Tech Fund support to pay maintainers and deliver concrete work: a VS Code plugin is released, patch tests run automatic checks on submitted patches (plans to email authors on pass/fail), and a binary distro prototype workflow is being prepared for quick prototyping. Toaster now works on master and demos successfully. Website is revamped; scarat becomes the next LTS with four years maintenance and a planned kernel LTS update during the scarat cycle. Layer-setup and mirror-update tooling remain active priorities.
