'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*YP 4.0.30 is under review for release
*YP 6.1 is due for release
*YP 5.2.4 is in QA
*YP 6.0.4 is due for release
*YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon
*YP 5.0.21 is under review
*We’re at feature freeze for YP 5.3. There are three pending items we still need to resolve before building:
*Patches for 6.2 have started merging into master
**Fixing a reproducibility problem in perf from 6.16
*Reproducibility issues between different build archs is looking much better, we have remaining issues in systemtap, rust, rpm-sequoia, mesa and rpm.
**Split of llvm from clang (currently blocked by uninative issues with llvm static libs)
*There are issues where we could accept help:
**Merging of bitbake-setup once the autobuilder can use it
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*We aim to merge bitbake-setup before building 5.3 M3, work is currently being done to migrate the autobuilder to use it.
**Remaining github.com references in bitbake-selftest
*This change will mean “poky” as a combo-layer repository will no longer be needed or updated.
*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.
*Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
*Big thanks to Tim Orling for key fixes for layerindex and error reporting
*There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related to ongoing security concerns.
*Builds are now working on Fedora 45 thanks to a pseudo fix and fetcher tweaks for wget v2
*There is a proposal to the TSC requesting an exception to allow backporting of SPDX 3 support to scarthgap. Please comment on the list in support of or against this as appropriate, the TSC is leading towards granting the exception.
*UK and European daylight savings time finishes this Sunday, some meeting times track US Pacific timezone so double check your calendars next week.
*There are a couple of open Yocto Project positions which we’re in the process of advertising:
*The CFP is now open for the OpenEmbedded Workshop to be held in Brussels on Feb 1st 2027.
**Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead
*Thanks to everyone who attended the Dev Day or came and saw us in Prague. This was the largest Yocto Dev Day so far!
**LTS Maintainer  - Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026


'''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.
