Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.4 has been released. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
• YP 3.5 Planning document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OXw-NKoL_Vb9RWI6sRPs3zTcAn4hHPtG0Y2BIs7xIzo/edit?usp=sharing
• Patches to master are continuing to merge including a large number of version upgrades this week.
• We have 1,288 patches in OE-Core, a third of those are marked as “Pending”. Help in determining what to do with those would be most welcome. Richard cleaned up and submitted a batch of 12 to the libtool project this week as an example of what can be done. Several gcc patches could be dropped or merged too.
• Intermittent issues continue to rise, particularly with some seemingly network related gremlin somewhere. 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

Ways to contribute:

• There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
• There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
• 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.
