			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*YP 3.5 M1 is in QA
			*YP 3.1.13 is due to build this week
			*We have maintenance to the autobuilder planned to fit SSDs to speed up IO and update the host distros to more modern equivalents. If parts arrive as planned, this is scheduled for next week (20th-24th) and the autobuilder will be unavailable during the work. There may be bring up issues with the new distros.
			*There were significant improvements in patch metrics this week with large drops in both patches in the pending state and overlap number of patches. Thanks to everyone who contributed to that!
			*As part of patch cleanup, some changes were made which could impact other layers or our spectrum of support. The libtool prefix patches were dropped as the need was largely obsolete by recipe specific sysroots, hosttools and other developments and this may mean patches in other layers can be dropped too. Some non-upstream invasive mips and sh4 patches were dropped as they were either obsolete or there were less invasive ways to handle them.
			*CVE metrics improved this week with drops in open CVEs for both dunfull and master.
			*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT

			'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
			*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
			*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
			*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.

			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*YP 3.3.4 was released
			*YP 3.1.12 has been through QA and is pending release approval.
			*YP 3.4.1 is due to be built after the current patchsets are reviewed and merge.
			*Next week is the Yocto Project Virtual Summit https://www.yoctoproject.org/yocto-project-summit-2021-11/ and OpenEmbedded Virtual Developer Meeting on Friday https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEDVM_Nov_2021
			*CVEs in hardknott and dunfell rose this week due to 14 busybox issues being added. Master remains roughly stable but we need to upgrade golang to fix some, the other issues in master do not yet have fixes in upstream (qemu, libarchive and nasm).
			*We continue to see a reduction in the number of patches in “Pending” state. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly, particularly where they were accepted upstream. This will significantly benefit the project in the long term.
			*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT

			'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
			*YP 3.4 has been released. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
			*YP 3.3.4 is due to build this week and will be the last planned release of the hardknott series.
			*YP 3.5 Planning document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OXw-NKoL_Vb9RWI6sRPs3zTcAn4hHPtG0Y2BIs7xIzo/edit?usp=sharing
			*Git’s default branch choice could potentially change in the future and we’re seeing service providers like github change policy too. To react to this variability the project really needs to start encoding the branch name used in SRC_URI rather than having a default of master. OE-Core has been converted and there is a script ( scripts/contrib/convert-srcuri.py) to help with conversions. Bitbake will start warning where this is unset soon (patch in master-next).
			*Github has announced that git protocol support will be dropped as of January. We use this in a number of our SRC_URIs. This has been discussed on the architecture list and we have a plan to warn (and later error) on problematic urls and magically map to the correct urls within bitbake. The latter change is easily backported to older bitbake releases and will allow older branches to continue to function without invasive changes. The conversion script mentioned above can also convert github urls.
			*We have seen a drop in the number of patches in “Pending” state, partly thanks to work from Richard to send libtool and gcc patches upstream or otherwise clean them up. Others are also stepping forward to try and reduce the number of patches in Pending state, help would be much appreciated as spread over a number of people this could be quickly handled and reduced.
			*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
