'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday October 19th 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
*YP 5.1 M3 is in QA
*Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday October 17th 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
*We are now at feature freeze and working on bug fixing for the final 5.1 release builds
*Twitch -  See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester
*Some limited recipe upgrades may be taken in M4 depending on their value of bug fixes vs breaking changes/features.
<br/>
*Fixes to make ERROR_QA only rebuild tasks it directly affects were merged, which will improve sstate reuse from the project servers significantly.
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.
*The YP 4.3 (M4) rc1 build is still pending
*Upcoming Event:  For those attending OSS EU in Vienna, Yocto Project Developer Day Sept. 19th 9am-5pm.
*For the 4.3 release, the 6.5 serial port issues are still presenting a challenge. We have merged a workaround which seems to fix things for the majority of cases. There is also a second proposed patch from upstream which may help. The dilemma is which option to go for in the release and the time implications of the choice as one is tested and one is not.
*Register here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/features/co-located-events/#yocto-project-developer-day
*The only other potential issue for 4.3 is the strace ptest image space issues which is still being worked on.
*Patchtest did merge to OE-Core and will be included in the release allowing users to locally test their patches before submission using the same code/tests we will ultimately run against mailing list submissions. This is late in the cycle but important to help users and standalone code so worthwhile adding since it was ready. Thanks Trevor!
*There were multiple CVE fixes merged over the last week to ensure the release had recent widely publicized CVEs addressed.
*Toaster has had upgrades to key components which help address security issues and patches are merging to enable testing to be resumed and ultimately, automated.
*There was a big improvement in reproducibility for rust. Unfortunately this hasn’t addressed all the issues but is a big step forward and great to see progress on what was a really difficult to track down issue, thanks Sundeep.
*The project is pleased to have a new content delivery network (CDN) available to share sstate from the autobuilder with. See the entry in local.conf.sample on how to use it.
*After consultation and discussions the project is now about to document its security processes to complete the work in this area. Please watch the mailing lists such as the architecture list if you have an interest in this area.

*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: patchtest, layerindex, 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!

We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260

We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
