'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
*There are the following planned features which are still under consideration for 3.0:
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
**Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky alternative configuration tests)
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
**Final configuration of hash equivalency
* 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
*The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
* 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.
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
* 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:
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
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.
*Patch merging has been delayed due to vacations (RP and Ross) so the final feature patches aren’t resolved yet.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
*If anyone has any status items for the proj
**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!


'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Release 6th Sept
*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=---
*M4 Cutoff 30th Sept - this will be YP 3.0.
*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/
*YP 3.0 {2.8 (M4)} Final Release 25th Oct
*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.
