BoF: The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded
summary
Community forum covering Yocto and OpenEmbedded status, roadmap items and recurring pain points: SPDX 3 support is already implemented and can produce compliant SBOMs; RISC‑V builds exist but are not on the autobuilder and need funding to be official; Java bootstrapping remains unmaintained and requires a full‑time effort to support newer JDKs; systemd units are the recommended way to control services; a layer‑management tool (Sovereign Tech Fund–backed) and image overlay/delta approaches are in flight.
