'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 5.3 M2 is due to be released
*YP 6.1 is due for release
*Patches continue to merge into master for upgrades and fixes.
*YP 6.0.4 is due for release
*Things have noticeably slowed due to holidays.
*YP 5.0.21 is under review
*xz is now a required host tool
*Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
*Patches are proposed to change the default images to be .zst compressed since these work better for releases and sharing
*Reproducibility issues between different build archs is looking much better, we have remaining issues in systemtap, rust, rpm-sequoia, mesa and rpm.
*Compressed images have implications for runqemu which needs to be run in snapshot mode to boot them
*There are issues where we could accept help:
*The clang build time (41min -> 76min) and size (350MB -> 535MB) increases continue to cause significant concern. There is some minor improvement with recent patches but much work remains to regain speed/space.
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*The main mirroring issues left are around “downloadfilename” support in urls which likely needs to be rewritten.
**Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
*For M3, the following changes have been mentioned as possibilities:
*We will update rsync to v3.5.1 on scarthgap & wrynose. This is an exception to the usual process as the backported CVE patches were not reviewable or maintainable.
**Bitbake-setup (although this is feeling not ready and too late for the next LTS)
*Big thanks to Tim Orling for key fixes for layerindex and error reporting
**wic split from OE-Core
*Builds are now working on Fedora 45 thanks to a pseudo fix and fetcher tweaks for wget v2
**RISC-V tune changes (final part)
*UK and European daylight savings time finishes this Sunday, some meeting times track US Pacific timezone so double check your calendars next week.
**switch classextend to use [filter] support from bitbake
*The CFP is now open for the OpenEmbedded Workshop to be held in Brussels on Feb 1st 2027.
*Thanks to everyone who attended the Dev Day or came and saw us in Prague. This was the largest Yocto Dev Day so far!


'''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://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
*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 5.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_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.

*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We have a list of issues we think are good places to start contributing: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=NEWCOMER
*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.
