'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 3.5 M1 is in QA
*YP 5.2.3 is due to be released.
*YP 3.1.13 is due to build this week
*YP 5.0.12 is due to be released.
*We have maintenance to the autobuilder planned to fit SSDs to speed up IO and update the host distros to more modern equivalents. If parts arrive as planned, this is scheduled for next week (20th-24th) and the autobuilder will be unavailable during the work. There may be bring up issues with the new distros.
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*There were significant improvements in patch metrics this week with large drops in both patches in the pending state and overlap number of patches. Thanks to everyone who contributed to that!
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3
*As part of patch cleanup, some changes were made which could impact other layers or our spectrum of support. The libtool prefix patches were dropped as the need was largely obsolete by recipe specific sysroots, hosttools and other developments and this may mean patches in other layers can be dropped too. Some non-upstream invasive mips and sh4 patches were dropped as they were either obsolete or there were less invasive ways to handle them.
*Updates to the 6.16 kernel are pending before the 5.3 M3 build
*CVE metrics improved this week with drops in open CVEs for both dunfull and master.
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3
*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
*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)

*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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_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.
