Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.5 M1 and YP 3.1.13 have both been through QA and are likely to be released this week.
• The next status report will be sent next year on 4th January with no report next week (28th Dec).
• We have maintenance to the autobuilder planned to fit SSDs to speed up IO and update the host distros to more modern equivalents. This is scheduled for next few days (22nd-24th) and the autobuilder will be unavailable during the work. There may be bring up issues with the new distros.
• Intermittent issues continue to be at record high levels and help is very much welcome in trying to resolve them. 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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_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.
