'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday July 25th at 7:30am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603)
*YP 5.0.18 has been released
*Monthly Project Meeting August 6th at 8am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712)
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*Twitch - Next event is August 6th at 8am PDT (https://www.twitch.tv/yocto_project)
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build this week
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*Patches to remove shell=True subprocess usage have merged in bitbake but OE-Core still needs significant work, help would be welcome with this.
*We have merged support for `devtool upgrade --stable` and the upstream-stable-release-point bbclass. We hope to use this to track upstream projects with known good stable release series, but we need input and discussion on what the criteria should be. Please participate in the discussion on the OE-Architecture list: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119437109
*We have changed the xz and zstd decompression dependencies to make the build slightly more efficient and use the host tools for decompression
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*2.7.1 was released
*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=---
*2.6.3 has patches pending review and then will be built
*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/
*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
*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.
*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:
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
**Running the testsuites for glibc/binutils/gcc
**Moving lsb to its own layer
**Removing poky-lsb in favour of some configuration fragments
**Reproducibility
**Minimizing python2 dependencies
**Configuration of init systems
*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.
*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.
