Elizabeth Flanagan

Architect and maintainer of the license wrangling and auditing classes within Openembedded Core. Wrote build statistics collection tool to help other OpenEmbedded developers find the pain points in the OE build processes.

Architect and maintainer for the yocto-autobuilder code base. Rewrote the initial autobuilder code base, reducing the time needed for nightly builds (over ¼ million build artifacts) from an average of 36 hours to an average of 6 hours. This contributed to providing maintainers faster feedback to new code.

Maintained and created the Yocto Project's Build and Release process and scripts. This has allowed the Yocto Project to move from a very manual and error prone process to single push button solution.
