'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7.3 rc1 is in QA with the report due next week.
*YP 4.0.19 has been through QA and is due for release
*YP 3.0.2 rc2 was rebuilt to remove a broken bash CVE patch, rc3 had automated QA only and is now due for release.
*YP 5.1 M1 rc2 is in QA
*We are now at the date for M3 which is feature freeze. We are not yet in a position where we can build M3 as there are a number of open high blocking bugs but patches will need to start tapering down to bug fix only. More invasive or unplanned features will no longer be accepted.
*RFC patches for the CVE tooling changes have been posted, help in review is appreciated
*We have a serious issue with hashequiv but a patch in progress for that. There is also a usability issue raised with hashequiv and this can only realistically be fixed in M4, it means changing the UI message handling within bitbake.
*There are SPDX 3.0 patches ready for review on the mailing list
*We continue to see automated test failures with master, most are long standing issues which we’re struggling to resolve. A minority now have had their causes narrowed down or are now reproducible at will which should help but there is concern about the others.
*There are patches proposing that missing patch Upstream-Status entries be a fatal QA error, this is likely to merge soon as there have been no objections to it.
*Some recent changes like psplash systemd support have introduced a race causing intermittent build failures. We had thought those resolved but they reappeared after merging.
*We have a fix for the final Fedora 40 issue, thanks Victor.
*Alex Kanavin has quietly but very effectively been fixing ptest failures and we now have only a very small number of non-toolchain tests failing, thanks Alex!
*We appreciate everyone fixing layers to work with master after recent changes, the autobuilder health is looking greener, thanks!
*We’re collecting a list of companies, products and projects which use the Yocto Project on the wiki: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users Please add any you know are missing (or email Richard/Stephen who can add).
*The copy_unihashes function was dropped from bitbake after the locked signature file improvements which simplifies further tooling work
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
*There is discussion on openembedded-architecture about the details around  configuration fragment tooling potentially being integrated into bitbake
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Through post release upgrading our patch count reduced again and is now the lowest level since July 2008!


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M3 build date 2/24/2020
*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
*YP 3.1 M3 release date 3/6/2020
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*YP 3.1 M4 build date  3/30/2020
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*YP 3.1 M4 release date  4/24/2020
*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.
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
