'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.2.1 is due for imminent release
*YP 5.3.3 was released.
*YP 3.3 M1 has been through QA and currently under review from the TSC
*YP 5.0.17 is in QA
*Patches for 3.3 M2 are now being reviewed, tested and merged.
*YP 6.0 M3 is the feature freeze for 6.0 which is our next LTS.
*The project’s work on reproducibility was mentioned in their monthly newsletter  https://reproducible-builds.org/reports/2020-11/
*YP 6.0 M3 is now due to build however there are still key changes missing.  
*CVE statistics continue to look worse for master after ‘improvements’ to the matching code, help in resolving these newly highlighted issues would be much appreciated.
*Issues with pending work needed:
*Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. 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
**Converting scripts/run-cvecheck to sbom-cve-check
*Given the vacation many people are taking at this time and the expected ramp down in patch load and newsworthy items, we’re not planning another status report until 5th January. The project technical and triage meetings will also ramp down for this period and resume in the first week of January unless there is any pressing development that needs urgent attention.  
**32bit x86 kvm seemingly broken with certain CPU features (#16074)
**Failure to generate regression reports in release builds (need tags)
**Ubuntu 26.04 support (need worker adding for testing)
*Issues that have patches ready to merge:
**DISTRO_FEATURES defaults improvements.
**Fixing yocto-check-layer to work with --machines
**RHEL 9 xattrs/selinux/tar issue
**Splitting wic into an external tool.
**RHEL 10/openSUSE Leap 16.0 support
*Issues that need investigation
**Reports of pseudo errors on Fedora 44 beta
*The proposed wic changes will need wic support files to be placed in files/wic within layers going forwards.
*We’re working through the backlog of patches and intermittent build failures are still problematic, including the emergence of new issues (newer kernel version?). We continue to struggle for bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback. This could impact features making it into the LTS.
*We are aware of our git hosting giving 502 Bad Gateway errors, this is being investigated
*The CFP for the Yocto Project Workshop at Embedded Recipes 2026 closes today: https://pretalx.com/yocto-embedded-recipes-2026/cfp

*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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 bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
*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/
*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.
*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.
