'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0 M2 and YP 3.1.31 were released.
*YP 5.0.14 is due to be released
*YP 4.0.16 is due to be released.
*YP 5.3 rc4 is built and due to enter QA
*We are now two weeks to feature freeze for 5.0, our next release
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*There is a proposal on the openembedded-architecture list for a “setup tool” for layers and configuration: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1913
*There were a lot of problems encountered during the final 5.3 release build. Most of these should have been resolved.
*There is a new proposal to drop support for BBFILE_PRIORITY: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1918
*Patches started to merge for master development again. Unfortunately there is breakage on the autobuilder, probably from issues arising from Fedora 43 binaries being incompatible with older distros. Until this is resolved, patch flow will be limited.
*Whilst late in the cycle for this, the benefits appear compelling.
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*Patch testing, review and merging is proving tricky at the moment as many patches are having poor interactions with other recipes, or corner case bugs (e.g. glibc mips issues).
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*There were many recipe upgrades merged including glibc and binutils, key fixes to pseudo, rpm issues root caused, ltp tests upgraded and expanded and arm tune file additions.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.
*We are considering entirely disabling the npm fetcher in bitbake due to the security issues until those are resolved.


'''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: 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!

*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs

*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_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.
