*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated. This means autobuilder changes before we build 5.3 M3.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026 (full details pending)


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.8 M2 rc1 is in QA which is due to complete on Wednesday
*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: 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!
*YP 2.6.3 will build to go into QA on Wednesday
*There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind of upstream feature merged to make this easier: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
*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
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*The Yocto Project TSC has determined how it plans to operate and put the details into the appropriate wiki page: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TSC. It is intended as a decision making body of last resort, if there are issues people wish it to address, please raise them with one of its members.
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*After discussion in various places its been agreed that the next project release will be “3.0”, to replace “2.8”. The 2.8 placeholder may continue to be used, particularly in the bugzilla. There are many good reasons to bump the version, the most recent being the runqueue changes allowing build optimizations based upon output equivalence (see below) but also including the new project governance, the autobuilder, improved test coverage any many other things.
*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.
*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. These patches are being tested in master-next at present.
*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.
*There are also changes in -next which are being considered which change several bitbake APIs around runqueue. The feeling is now may be the best time to clean up several interfaces. If there are other API fixes people want to see, now is a good time to mention them.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*The project is working on some mentor and mentee opportunities. Please see the separate email from Nicolas on the yocto list about this.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find ways to fund specific work items.
