'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.3.4 was released
*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
*YP 3.1.12 has been through QA and is pending release approval.
*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.
*YP 3.4.1 is due to be built after the current patchsets are reviewed and merge.
*There is also a discussion about recipe specific hosttools: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2467
*Next week is the Yocto Project Virtual Summit https://www.yoctoproject.org/yocto-project-summit-2021-11/ and OpenEmbedded Virtual Developer Meeting on Friday https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEDVM_Nov_2021
*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.
*CVEs in hardknott and dunfell rose this week due to 14 busybox issues being added. Master remains roughly stable but we need to upgrade golang to fix some, the other issues in master do not yet have fixes in upstream (qemu, libarchive and nasm).
*The project has adopted an updated policy on AI-generated contributions: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/ai-assisted-contribution-policy.html
*We continue to see a reduction in the number of patches in “Pending” state. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly, particularly where they were accepted upstream. This will significantly benefit the project in the long term.
*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
*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
*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:
**go recipes are not devtool upgradeable (#14944)
**recipetool create should add tag= for git SRC_URI (#15816)
*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.
**6.1.1:    2026-11-23
**6.0.5:   2026-11-30
**5.0.22:  2026-12-07
**6.2 M1:  2026-12-14


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