'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.2 M3 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.18 is due to be released
*YP 5.0.8 is due to be released
*YP 6.0.1 is in QA.
*YP 5.1.4 is in QA
*YP 6.1 M1 is due to build next week
*We are at feature freeze for YP 5.2 with our first rc build next week
*We’re working through the backlog of patches, the bandwidth for changes needing in depth review/feedback continues to be a challenge.
*We have continued to merge gcc 15 fixes in anticipation of being prepared for host distro changes in the next six months.
*The upgrade to gcc 16 merged
*The minimum python version was increased to 3.9 with support for Ubuntu 20.04 now requiring buildtools due to changing g++ requirements.
*We are planning to improve our python subprocess calls to avoid shell=True, we would appreciate others following and doing this in their code too.
*SRC_URI entries for git now support tag verification against a specified source revision
*Intermittent build failures continue to be problematic and unchanged from last week:
*Bitbake fetcher support for multiple revisions in a single git SRC_URI entry was removed for code simplification.
**several qemu ‘hang’ type issues
*Kernel stable updates merged including a key qemumips fix and various CVE fixes.
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
*A pseudo bug was identified and there is a reproduction patch posted however we’re struggling to work out how to fix it. We do have a workaround for the underlying pciutils trigger.
**siggen reset issues (“ResourceWarning: unclosed transport”)
*We are aware of 500/502 errors from the project git servers. These are caused by load from the significant number of AI crawlers the infrastructure is being overloaded with which is hard to mitigate against.
**groff build race issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Qemu v11 dropped support for 32 bit hosts and we are likely to drop support for running builds on 32 bits hosts
*The upstream kernel is looking likely to drop x32 support and if they do, we will have to drop our support too - let hem/us know if you’re using it!
*We would like to know what people are planning to work on for Yocto Project 6.1 and beyond. We have a roadmap document in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xgAzSjDj5zVlo4eQIbiv1s3QMjtBTCvBFY3_T7OPto


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

*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!
*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 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 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/
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*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.
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
*For more ways to contribute, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/18oxKWxLorfF813h82mK6yKTIHeBp_-9owFuCWbzgjOk/edit?usp=sharing
*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.
 
*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.
