*Thanks to everyone who attended or helped contribute to the Yocto Summit, it seemed to be a success and had some good presentations!
*Builds on the autobuilder are problematic at present due to connection losses with the controller machine. We understand the cause and will be migrating the controller to a new server/location to address this.
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending with an unresolved dilemma on functionality versus parsing speeds.
*That, combined with OOM issues from recent bitbake cache changes meant patches are merging more slowly this week.
*CVEs in master have risen with 7 across 5 components, help in bringing the numbers down would be appreciated
*There are a number of bitbake patches pending which are a bit more invasive than usual. These are aiming to address:
*We are starting to see some rough plans around Y2038, largefile support and some other topics, thanks to all those helping move this forward, there has been some useful discussion and we look forward to seeing the changes!
**memory issues seen with the recent cache changes and bitbake -S

**event handler race issues around datastore accesses
*The OE TSC decided in favour of adding export flag expansion despite the performance impact so that patch will be queued.
*CVE levels in master are concerning again
*With some debugging, the bitbake.sock disappearance was potentially identified and also issues with OOM process killing locking up bitbake’s server and UI were studied.
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
