*Bug Triage meeting Thursday August 8th at 7:30am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603)
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*Monthly Project Meeting August 6th at 8am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712)

*Twitch - Next event is August 6th at 8am PDT (https://www.twitch.tv/yocto_project)
*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 is due for release this week
*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 is in QA
*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
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0
*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
*The project is working on some mentor and mentee opportunities. Please see the separate email from Nicolas on the yocto list about this.
*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.
*Patches to bitbake to enable the task scheduler to react to “equivalent” build output have merged. There is more information about this major change in a separate email:
*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.
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-August/285300.html
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*It is hoped this change should improve productivity and reduce rebuilds.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*In making some of these changes, there were some API changes in bitbake, notably the removal of the bb.build.FuncFailed exception, the signature generator task representation changed and there were some siggen function API changes.
*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.
libx11-diet was removed as its not really appropriate on a modern locale aware system.
