'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Thanks to everyone who attended, helped out, organised or otherwise contributed to our ELC presence and YP Dev Day last week, we believe it was successful and people found it interesting and useful.
*YP 4.0.35 is due to release
*We continue to be concerned about autobuilder stability, we’re continuing to see high numbers of intermittent failures. You can see the list of failures we’re seeing by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
*YP 5.3.4 is in QA
*Help is urgently needed to bring these to a manageable level. We have managed to resolve or work around some of these issues over the past week and are starting to see green builds again.
*YP 6.0 rc1 is in QA
*We are struggling with maintainers for some key components of the system/infrastructure such as devtool, wic, buildhistory and patchwork/patchtest. If anyone can help in these areas please contact Richard.
*There will be no patch review on Monday 4th May due to public holidays.
*Another way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*We continue to triage the CVEs being reported by the new tooling.
*We’re pleased to announce we have a new manual in the Yocto Project documentation ‘bookshelf’ which covers the project’s testing processes and infrastructure including the autobuilder and resulttool. A work-in-progress version of this can be viewed here: https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/docs_temp/test-manual/test-manual.html. So far, it contains basic information in key areas, we’re happy to take feedback on areas that are missing or need more information and/or take contributions to further extend this work.
*There were some last minute changes to DISTRO_FEATURES behaviour to resolve some usability issues that users identified.
*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 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.


'''YP 3.2 Milestone Dates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.2 M2 build date 2020/7/27
*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 3.2 M2 Release date 2020/8/7

*YP 3.2 M3 build date 2020/8/31
*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 3.2 M3 Release date 2020/9/11
