'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*2.8 M1 has been built and rc2 is now undergoing QA (rc1 ran into an issue with a broken autobuilder worker).
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*Stephen continues to be unavailable, please refer any queries to Richard
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*Mailing lists are moving to groups.io instead of our current mailman setup. This shouldn’t impact users directly, more details will be sent to the mailing lists before the transfer. THe Yocto Project lists will move first, followed by OE, likely a week later.
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*We have a new “newcomer” bug category which are bugs suited to someone new to the project. These can be seen here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*We’re seeing an increasing number of intermittent failures which affect the autobuilder builds, causing problems for merging patches and for release builds. One cause, a long standing problem with gpg signing testing has finally been root caused and fixed. Several others keep appearing. There is a backlog of them in the bugzilla and we’re opening bugs for the new ones.
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*M1 isn’t of ideal quality, there are three ptest timeouts (2.7 had none). The ptest failure rate is however much improved. There is nobody actively working on some of the ptest timeout issues so holding the milestone build wouldn’t have made much difference but its a worrying sign for the project quality.
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*M1 also has a couple of MIPS issues with the gcc9 upgrade. There doesn’t appear to be much interest in investigating and fixing these which raises questions about supporting the architecture within the project.
*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.
*There was a Yocto Project related article in LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/788626/
*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.
*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.
*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.
*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.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.8:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M1 Cutoff June 9th
*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=---
*M1 Release June 21st
*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/
*M2 Cutoff 14th July
*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.
*M2 Release 26th July
