'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3.4 is in QA
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 3.5 Planning document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OXw-NKoL_Vb9RWI6sRPs3zTcAn4hHPtG0Y2BIs7xIzo/edit?usp=sharing
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*There is a proposed syntax simplification on the openembedded-architecture list with a patch on bitbake-devel. This would phase out the use of append/prepend/remove operators with +=/=+ and mean it would just work with “=” alone. *We’ve not recommended this combination and it removes a redundancy which confuses new users.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*There will be some infrastructure down time at the end of the year for the autobuilder and NAS, likely between the 26th and 31st December. This will affect the autobuilder workers, downloads and sstate shares from the project but not websites or git services. Last time we had a NAS outage it caused some issues so we are trying to ensure those issues are fixed in the stable branches and master with mirroring in place for key things like uninative before then. If anyone is aware of any other failure modes we need to address, please let us know.
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*Workarounds for the github protocol changes have been merged to all stable branches and to master with url changes also being made in many cases.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*We have seen a drop in the number of patches in “Pending” state again this week. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*5.15 kernel headers and kernels have been merged.
*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.
*There have been a number of small but potentially useful bitbake fixes to file checksum tracking, runall option handling and hung parsing threads.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these 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
*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)

'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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!
*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 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
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*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
*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.

*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.
