'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday August 15th at 7:30am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603)
*YP 5.0.13 was released
*Monthly Project Meeting Sept. 3rd at 8am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712)
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to be released
*Twitch - Next event is Sept. 3rd at 8am PDT (https://www.twitch.tv/yocto_project)
*YP 4.0.31 is in QA
*Documentation updates related to many of the recent changes are in progress, thanks to all who have helped on these.
*We plan to merge the documentation changes then stop updating the poky repository master branch.
*We are now past the feature freeze for YP 5.3. To be accepted, patches that have a high bar until after we branch master from whinlatter.  Known issues:
**check-layer tests are now running under nodistro instead of poky, so some layers are failing as they assume some DISTRO_FEATURES are enabled.
**Toaster is broken with bitbake-setup (#16012). Help moving to supporting non-poky layouts would be good if anyone is using Toaster.
**The patch/cve metrics jobs need reviewing to be sure they’re correct with bitbake-setup (#16013)
**The build performance jobs don’t know that poky and oe-core are the same so the charts are currently wrong (#16014)
**Help welcomed to resolve these issues!
*Upstream linux kernel just end-of-life’d 6.16 but whinlatter contains 6.16. The 6.17 kernel has run into issues we don’t have availability/time to resolve unfortunately so we will have to release with 6.16.
*YP 6.0 (wrynose) and the next LTS releases proposed timeline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BlvtPxpYsxHkeL10DFBQzBI9q_1HIk9r2FPxlfsQ95U/edit?tab=t.0
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.6.3 is out of QA and being readied for release.
*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!
*This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0.
*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
*The sstate has equivalency work has run into some challenges:
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
**performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the autibuilder’s load
*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
**performance of runqueue has regressed even when not using the hash equivalency code
*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.
**bugfixes in master-next regress performance even further
*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 bugs being triggered by the has equivalency code that need investigation and resolution (along with test cases creating).
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
These issues are being worked on but we need to ensure correctness of the new code first before the performance can be fixed
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
*There were updates so some key components for bug fixes this week, in particular pseudo.
*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.
*General patch merging is happening and the queue is mostly clear and flowing but it isn’t happening as frequently as usual due to the hash equivalency work.
