I am just a student and currently don’t have extensive OpenEmbedded experience, but I would like to get involved and learn as I go. First get the the superflore and bloom integration during the GSoC, then work on generating proper OpenEmbedded builds with ROS using already available layers(like the ones from jumpnowtek or similar).  
I want to focus on embedded systems in my career, so I could work on this in my free time for quite a while and I should get better at it over time 😛  
I will just submit my GSoC application at the end of march and if I get accepted, it will make more sense to talk about future plans knowing my full background.
