'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.16 was released.
*YP 5.3.4 is due to release (has been approved)
*YP 4.3.3 is in QA.
*YP 6.0 is due to release (has been approved)
*We are now a week from feature freeze for 5.0, our next LTS release
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge
*The BBFILE_PRIORITY change is being deferred as unfortunately it causes problems with bbappend ordering.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic
*There have been fixes for python 3.12, recipe upgrades, kernel stable version bump and many other fixes and improvements this week.
*We have pruned the release artefacts, please let us know if any you would like to use are missing. We’re also interested to know which ones people actually use outside of uninative/buildtools and the BSP test images.
*The ‘scarthgap’ layer series name has merged to core. Compatibility with nanbield will be removed soon so maintainers will need to update their layers ASAP for the new release series.
*Master is open for new development
*Patch testing, review and merging is still a little behind due to the volume of failures combined with builds needing long buildtimes to do rebuilding core components like the compiler or libc.
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. Please send proposals to the mailing list or raise them during the weekly status call, Paul will be collecting these into a project roadmap.
*Several performance regressions were identified in bitbake for world builds and patches have merged to try and improve those.
*LLVMVERSION has been dropped from OE-Core since it doesn’t need it. This resolves a long standing issue/conflict with meta-clang but may need fixes for other layers that rely upon the variable.
*There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next release, especially since it is an LTS. There is the potential to do this since the configurations have been written and are close to working. We’re wondering about trial testing this for M3 as a proof of concept. Without higher tier project membership support, this will not make it into the LTS final release though.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>

*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: patchtest, layerindex, devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
*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=---
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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/
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.0. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*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.
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
