'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*2.7.1 was released
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*2.6.3 has patches pending review and then will be built
*YP 5.3.4 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
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*There are ongoing discussions on a few key topics which are summarized here for convenience. Please contribute if you have an interest in these areas:
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
**Running the testsuites for glibc/binutils/gcc
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
**Moving lsb to its own layer
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
**Removing poky-lsb in favour of some configuration fragments
*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.
**Reproducibility
*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.
**Minimizing python2 dependencies
*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.
**Configuration of init systems
*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.
*Changing poky’s init system default to systemd is running into a large number of testing failures on the autobuilder which puts that change at risk.
*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.
*The autobuilder performance problem when stopping builds has been tracked down and fixed. The controller was also upgraded for some performance improvements (thanks Michael).*
*There are patches available which enable runqueue optimisations based on output comparisons of tasks. This removes the need to run later tasks if the output is unchanged and is based upon the previous hash equivalence server work. This feature should be a significant win for the users and is now working to a level where we’ll likely make this a key feature of the next release.


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.8:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M2 Cutoff 14th July
*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=---
*M2 Release 26th July
*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/
*M3 Cutoff (Feature Freeze) 25th Aug
*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.
*M3 Release 6th Sept
