'''Tip of the Week:'''<br/>
'''Project data dashboard: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/'''<br/>
*‘oe-pkgdata-browser’ is a new handy small helper UI added by Ross to visualise the pkgdata held within a build.
*(anyone with tips they’d like to see here, please send to Stephen or Richard)


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 is due to be built next week.
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*Patch merging is roughly on track however there are a number of failures identified with key patches (glibc has a prelink issue on mips, python 3.8 upgrade blocked on uid issue, gstreamer meson transition blocked on nodistro failure). Most of these issues are making progress over time.
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*The more worrying aspect is that there are a number of recurring/intermittent failures in the automated testing, mostly from selftest and testimage.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*Looking at the build history, “full” images have built cleanly only once in the past month (3 times in the last two months), which is a pretty shocking statistic which summarises the challenges we face there. Most of these are being procrastinated on by the bug owners since we can’t reproduce them at will. We really need help working on these kinds of issues.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*We have changed the sstate mirrors to be per release, simply to lower the numbers of files in any given sstate directory.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
*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)


'''Proposed YP 3.1 Milestone Dates'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 3.1 M2 build date 1/20/2020
*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 3.1 M2 release date 1/31/2020
*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
*YP 3.1 M3 build date 2/24/2020
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*YP 3.1 M3 release date 3/6/2020
*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
*YP 3.1 M4 build date  3/30/2020
*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.
*YP 3.1 M4 release date  4/24/2020
*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.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*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.
