'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3 has been released. Thanks go to everyone who contributed to it!
*YP 5.1 M3 has been released
*YP 3.1.7 has come cleanly through QA and is pending TSC approval for release.
*YP 4.0.21 has been released
*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.
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is being built
*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.
*There are YP 5.2 proposed milestone dates https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDrD9nFjosvLHa7EfL_Y1-1slK7u5Am6NZV6QRF2P6s/edit - please review and let us know if there are any concerns.
*The master branch has opened for 3.4 development and a number of patches queued during release of 3.3 have now merged.
*The final pieces of the release were 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.
**sanity test for Ubuntu 24.04 userns/apparmor issue added
*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.
**TCLIBCAPPEND properly deprecated
**toaster fixtures tweaked
**buildtools updated
**non-deterministic libsdl2 configure issue fixed
**gitsm configparser change reverted
**many other varied and useful fixes
*Since there is now an rc build heading to QA, master and styhead will diverge. There are some patches in master-next which were deemed too late/risky for the release (including the gomod class changes)
*The new autobuilder has had NAS problems when scaled to final size, those are being worked on but it will delay switching to the new system a little.
*There is discussion around configuration file markup/syntax related to fragment management on the architecture list, targeting 5.2.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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!
*There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). 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
*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 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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
*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.
