'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7.2 is under review by the TSC and likely to be released.
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*Tests were made on making reproducibility the default for poky. There were several issues found for which bugs were filed:
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
**A double free issue in opkg (Alejandro looking into, thanks)
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
**devtool failures (Paul sent a fix, thanks)
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
**recipetool failures (Richard sent a fix)
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*Tests were made on making the hashserver default for poky. There were also several issues found and RP is trying to understand and work through those. At least one critical issue has been identified and due to be tested.
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*The SWAT team no longer has enough people on it to make it sustainable and has therefore been disbanded. This means build owners need to triage their own build failures. Richard will be responsible for failures in the scheduled master builds.
*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.
*Intermittent build failures continue to hamper builds, particularly combined with the above issues and as few people are available to attempt to debug and resolve them.
*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 TSC is working on LTS plans, productive discussions have been had and a new policy on handling this and stable releases should be available in the next couple of weeks.
*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.
*We have begun collecting ideas for YP 3.1 in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UKZIGe88-eq3-pOPtkAvFAegbQDzhy_f4ye64yjnABc/edit?usp=sharing
*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.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
*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.


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M1 Proposed build date 12/2/2019
*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 3.1 M1 Proposed release date 12/13/2019

*YP 3.1 M2 Proposed build date 1/20/2020
*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.
*YP 3.1 M2 Proposed release date 1/31/2020
