'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3 rc2 has a clean bill of health from QA so pending TSC approval and release notes/migration guide, it's looking likely to release. rc1 was abandoned due to a couple of intermittent autobuilder issues accounted on the first build.
*YP 3.3 has been released. Thanks go to everyone who contributed to it!
*YP 3.1.7 is being built today
*YP 3.1.7 has come cleanly through QA and is pending TSC approval for release.
*There are a number of pending patches queued in master-next waiting for 3.4 to open for development.
*The YP TSC has now served for two years, thanks go to the outgoing TSC (Armin, Denys, Khem, Richard, Ross) who have been instrumental in a number of significant project developments over that time such as the LTS, definition of processes and resourcing the project. Some of the work isn’t immediately obvious but has shaped the project and should ensure a stable and positive future direction.
*We do have some development series undergoing review now such as the PRServ rework and changes to the git fetcher to make it more efficient.
*New TSC members are now being chosen for the next two years. Three of the TSC seats have now been (re-)elected by the YP members and those seats are being filled by Richard (chair), Khem and Ross. Two are elected by the OE community and there will be a call for candidates coming soon from the OE board to the OE membership.
*The master branch has opened for 3.4 development and a number of patches queued during release of 3.3 have now merged.
*There may be interest in a new command, “bitbake-getvar” being proposed on the bitbake mailing list and in master-next. This makes it easier to see the history of a single variable and also makes a neat example of using the tinfoil API. We are also considering other similar helper commands (maybe along the lines of the ‘bb’ tool) with a view to making things easier for new users.
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. 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 We are working to identify the load pattern on the infrastructure that seems to trigger these.
