'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We’re now in feature freeze in M4 for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
*There is a proposal and proof of concept for changes to layer configuration and setup out for discussion/review: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2463
*We have a QA report for M3 and this is due for release this week
*The proposed layer changes will likely be more invasive than many of the recent changes but also incorporate a number of new features and improvements which will make them useful to everyone and allow various cleanups of existing code.
*The known issues to be addressed before M4 rc1 is built:
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
**Strace kernel timeout problems
*The Yocto Project wiki has undergone significant cleanup, mostly with removal of obsolete pages/information. We plan to migrate the remaining data to a different solution. If anyone is able to help with review of content, please let us know.
**Better solution for systemd hwdb timeout
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
**Fixes for the lsb->altcfg release directory names
*There was a widely reported security issue with musl+openssh. The project has published details on the situation here: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/message/1728
**Fix for hashserv bitbake-selftest server shutdown issue
*We had some positive response to our request for help with the issues highlighted from the bug triage team last week. Further help is requested with the following devtool & recipetool issues:
**There is bitbake upgrade problem where an older OE-Core doesn’t work with a newer bitbake due to bb.build.FuncFailed being missing#
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
*The aim is to build M4 rc1 this week if at all possible but it depends on the above issues being fixed (there are open high bugs for these)
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
*A significant performance problem has been found on the autobuilder where some builds are scaling in time badly as the sstate cache grows, taking 12 hours or more in some cases. Unfortunately nobody seems motivated to help work on this kind of issue.
*We have moved a couple of planned releases forward by a week to avoid needing to make a release during the end of the year holidays.
*If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.

'''Planned Releases for YP 3.0 {2.8}:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*M3 Release this week.
*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.
