'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.0.4 is due to be released
* YP 5.0.15 was released
*YP 5.1 rc1 (final release) is out of QA, the final work item is updating the documentation. Help to write and review release notes and migration guides is greatly appreciated.
* YP 5.3.1 is under review
*The situation with Fedora 41 and python 3.13 has improved. There are several bitbake fixes needed and one one for pseudo the posix_spawn function.
* YP 6.0 M1 is in QA
*The bb.exceptions module could use some attention from someone with appropriate python knowledge (it makes tracebacks pickleable).
* YP 4.0.33 is queued for QA after 6.0 M1
*CVE emails are now reporting correctly again, thanks Steve.
* YP 6.0 M2 is due next week!
*We can now compare the performance of the new autobuilder perf builds:
* Good progress has been made with the autobuilder issues and an M1 build is in QA but we still don’t have the stability in builds we need for reliable project operations.
**https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20241007-108/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8_master_20241007210052_312488228a.html
* There are currently 6 high open bugs, which will block M2:
**https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20241008-2/testresults/buildperf-alma8/perf-alma8-vk_master_20241008030040_312488228a.html
** Issues reusing binaries from fedora 43 (and maybe ubuntu 25.10) on older systems (patchelf triggered?) (#16074, #16087)
*The performance workers are about twice the speed (but the performance workers were not normal worker nodes on the old system). rm_work adds about a minute to build times on a modern SSD system.
** x86 kvm broken on Fedora 43 (#16074)
*Migration to the new autobuilder is proceeding with regular users now encouraged to trigger builds on the new cluster to stress test and identify any issues.
** AB-INT: build-sysroots: useradd command did not succeed (#16135)
*We are having problems with the toaster tests failing after layer index updates for styhead. If anyone has knowledge of selenium CSS selectors we’d appreciate assistance!
** Hangs of the autobuilder controller (database locking?) (#16129)
*For 5.2 it would be helpful to have rough development plans for areas of the project if anyone is able to help document a rough roadmap/plan for them. The following areas are known to be being or need working on:
** Generation of releases.json needs updating (#16138)
**Autobuilder
* The number of intermittent failures affecting builds, both stable and development, continues to be problematic. Any given build is now statistically likely to hit one or more of them and we often don’t have successful builds. Since we struggle to get help in addressing these, we need to change and start potentially blocking releases (including stable/LTS) until these get addressed in some way. We are holding some dedicated meetings to triage these and find ways of removing the failures from our builds which may include reducing testing.
**Binary Distro
* Patches are merging again but there is a backlog and we’ve had to prioritize simpler changes. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
**Bitbake config fragments
 
**Bitbake setup process/tooling
**GUI screen shot QA test
**IDE Plugin development
**Layer Index
**Patchtest
**Security Tooling
**Swatbot
**Toaster
*If there are other areas we should have plans for, please let us know.


'''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!
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*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 a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*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.

*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
