'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.1.2 is in QA
*YP 5.0.14 was released
*A large number of package upgrades have merged bringing us up to date with various upstreams.
*YP 5.3 rc4 has passed QA and is under review
*We have started moving code out of core bbclass files into the function libraries to help reduce parsing memory use, volumes of data transfer and sstate signature data sizes. Help is welcome in developing further patches to improve our function libraries.
*The 5.3 QA report is available and no major release blocking issues were found so we should be able to finally make the release.
*The autobuilder controller has been relocated to deal with connectivity issues, we do have some issues to iron out before things are back to normal service. We were unable to upgrade the buildbot version as there were too many other moving pieces.
*There was an announcement about the new project roles: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2207
*We are trying to upgrade uninative to include libgcc to deal with pthread_cancel failures.  Newer versions of patchelf are proving problematic and appear to be causing segfaults and we’re trying to untangle this from other issues.
*Welcome to Paul and Yoann in their new roles and huge thanks to Steve!
*We have reverted the tune for qemux86-64 back to corei7-64 since we still have v2 hardware that won’t work properly with v3 under KVM and similar.
*Patches for master are merging and the builds are looking greener, there is a problem with the test result regression reports still causing failures as well as some check-layer issues.
*A uninative bug has been exposed by recent bitbake datastore improvements which could cause sstate to be missed/duplicated.
*We have isolated the Fedora43 workers until we can root cause the binary problems it was causing when the sstate was shared to older systems
*We merged a number of neat rust improvements which add on target cargo support and added automated QA tests for this functionality so we can ensure it continues to work and doesn’t regress. Thanks Alex Kiernan, we hope to see more series like this one!
*Further bitbake-setup changes under discussion for the new development cycle:
*CVE levels in master are becoming worrying again, help would be appreciated to address the open issues.
**defaulting to a common sstate directory and hashequiv server
*The autobuilder maintenance window now occurs on Mondays.
**Allowing symlinking of local existing repos into the build instead of fetching
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*The project is exploring the idea of applying for funding for security related work. If anyone (individual or consultancies) has ideas, please talk to Paul/Richard/TSC. This is an opportunity to work on those issues you never have time/funding for!
*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 4.2 See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 6.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_6.0_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.

*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.
