'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.0.4 was released
*YP 6.0 was released, thanks everyone who contributed!
*M3 is due to close at the end of the week and this is the feature freeze point for 3.2
*YP 5.0.18 is in QA.
*After much debugging, we’ve concluded the bitbake cooker/server launch process is terminally flawed, you can’t fork a python process into two independent python processes and have the internal python state machinery work correctly. *As such, we’re going to have to make some major changes to the way the bitbake cooker/server startup happens.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*On a positive note, those server changes have forced many of the memory resident bitbake bugs to the surface and the new code appears to fix them, bringing memres bitbake much closer to being usable, maybe even becoming a default in this release if testing goes well.
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic:
*There is concern about invasive changes like this with regard to LTS/dunfell where these bitbake bugs are also present. Ultimately we will make a decision about backporting based upon patch stability and user feedback from the LTS users.
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*The number of autobuilder intermittent bugs has continued to rise unfortunately. 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 with any of these would be much appreciated, unfortunately it is proving hard to find anyone interested in helping figure these out and they significantly hamper our testing.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*One way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during YP 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
*There is a proposal on the bitbake list to remove globbing support from file:// urls. Usage of these urls currently breaks source file checksumming which users don’t realise, it can’t be fixed in a sane way so and the most common use cases has easy alternatives such as referencing a directory as a file:// url without globs so removing globbing support appears to be the best way forward.
**groff build race issues
*We have switched to the 5.8 kernel by default, it's taken a while to get through all the different issues but we appear to be there now, thanks to Bruce for working through many of them!
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Some long standing musl SDK issues should be resolved now.
*Master (blacksail) is open for new development
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto
*We are updating the project’s security team and welcome nominations and/or feedback: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/119388716
*Monday 25th May is a public holiday in the UK and USA so there will be no patch review call.


'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*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=---
*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/
*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.
