'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Yocto Project “Zeus” 3.0 has been released!  Thank you to everyone who contributed patches, bugs, feedback and testing. Some very rough git metrics say that 182 different people have contributed patches to this cycle.
*YP 6.0.3 is in QA.
*This week is ELC-E in Lyon, so meetings are limited.  If anyone reading this is there please do visit the Yocto Project booth and say hello!
*YP 6.1 M3 is due in one week and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
*Patches have been flowing fast into master.  Due to ELC-E this will slow down this week, but Ross will continue to collect patches for testing in ross/mut.
*For 6.1 M3 our plans are to merge rpm 6, merge openssl 4 and update to the 7.2 kernel. If there are any other major changes planned, please let us know ASAP!
*There are ongoing intermittent autobuilder failures, particularly in selftest but in other areas too. There is a separate email about this and we could do with help in debugging and resolving those issues.
*AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
*YP 2.6.4 was built and has passed QA, will be released imminently.
*We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version update issues. It is worth noting that the ‘success’ updates do still need work on the commit message changelogs and much of this work is being pushed to Richard.
*YP 2.7.2 was held due to an unexplained test failure but will now be built in the next few days.
*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
*Armin and Anuj have volunteered to maintain Zeus and they plan to work out the maintainership between them, thanks!
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*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
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*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 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/
*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.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
