'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M3 rc1 will be released today. The YP 2.7 M3 rc1 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044667.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.7_M3.rc1/testresults/.
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*YP 2.5.3 and YP 2.6.2 stable releases were built and have been submitted to QA
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*YP 2.6.2 is currently going through the QA process with YP 2.5.3 queued behind it.  
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*Process issues in the way ptest was being processed by QA have been discovered which mean the previous ptest results are not comparable with the new QA process. For consistency going forward we will be using the new QA process as the definitive results and will be comparing for regressions based upon these.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*The “warrior” branches for 2.7 have been created and the metadata updated, patches are being slowed in line with release stablisation with increasingly critical fixes only.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*The remaining things which are planned for YP 2.7 M4 before we have the final 2.7 rc1 build are:
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
**Upgrading -tiny to the 5.0 linux-yocto kernel (currently 4.18)
*There have been several issues in pseudo identified and these have been fixed in the various pseudo point releases. We will upgrade pseudo in 6.0.1 to pull these in.
**Removal of the 4.18 kernel
*There have been issues with 403 errors from crates.io, there is a change in bitbake to use the preferred upstream urls via their CDN.
**Fixing the python3 ptest timeout and result status issues
*The kvm cpu features issue looks to be a host system CPU microcode issue and using the latest microcode appears to have resolved the issues.
**Fixing some of the util-linux ptest failures
*git:// protocol access to git.yoctoproject.org and git.openembeded.org is deprecated and going forward https:// URLs should be used to access git repositories. We are aiming to discontinue git protocol use.
**Potentially integrating a key and long time puzzling pseudo issue
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic. We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback but are trying to clear the backlog.
**Integrating qemumips shutdown issues identified in the kernel
**Continue to investigate python3 testsuite hang on 5.0+ kernels (trying to get help upstream)
*Worrying things which we don’t have good plans for currently (mainly lack of people to help with):
**Intermittent autobuilder failures (fork running out of resources - which resources?, oe-selftest intermittent issues, gpg signing resource problems, occasional PR server failure and more)
**Build-appliance testing issues (show up on each QA report across multiple releases)
**40% valgrind ptest failures
**Known bitbake memory resident bugs
**Other ptest failures
*The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/
*If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M4 Cutoff is Apr. 1, 2019
*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=---
*YP 2.7 M4 Release Target is Apr. 26, 2019
*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/
*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.
