'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 6.0.3 is in QA.
*YP 6.1 M3 is due in one week and this will be the feature freeze point for YP 6.1.
*For 6.1 M3 our plans are to merge rpm 6, merge openssl 4 and update to the 7.2 kernel. If there are any other major changes planned, please let us know ASAP!
*AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
*We continue to try and keep up to date with upstream releases through the AUH, big thanks to those sending version updates and fixing version update issues. It is worth noting that the ‘success’ updates do still need work on the commit message changelogs and much of this work is being pushed to Richard.
*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
'''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.
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing


*YP 4.1 M2 is due to build this week.
'''New to the project?'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.2 was released.
*We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER
*We have fixes in place for most of the reproducible build issues so will enable the buildpaths QA test by default soon once the remaining tweaks have merged. This will allow much easier visibility into reproducibility issues in people’s builds
*meta-gplv2 builds have been dropped from master and the layer will no longer be maintained.
*An issue has been identified where libstdc++ is broken when built with the gold linker due to patch changes that changed the build process in kirkstone.
*Systemd is going to require usrmerge in the future. The proposed patch to require that distro feature will break our autobuilder configuration as things stand so work will be needed to try and adapt to the direction from upstream.
*Recent changes to package.bbclass for externalsrc handling have broken source and license handling for the kernel, highlighting the need to better tests there. We don’t have a fix as yet.
*There have been further proposed patches around improving the eSDK tooling workflows and around layer setup.
*Work is continuing on the /proc/pressure monitoring code.
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent 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

*OE-Core/Poky Patch Metrics
*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.
