'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday July 25th at 7:30am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603)
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
*Monthly Project Meeting August 6th at 8am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712)
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
*Twitch - Next event is August 6th at 8am PDT (https://www.twitch.tv/yocto_project)
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
* There is a new meta-openjdk layer: https://github.com/amarula/meta-openjdk https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-patches/xBB4.1788187111192557019.ULaN@lists.yoctoproject.org/T/#u
* 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.
* 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:
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
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
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!


'''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.
