Key Status/Updates:

• A key autobuilder race has been identified as a race around the bitbake lock file which will hopefully continue to reduce the number of intermittent failures being seen. It potentially explains a number of the open bugs. 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
• We are struggling with maintainers for some key components of the system/infrastructure such as devtool, wic, buildhistory and patchwork/patchtest. If anyone can help in these areas please contact Richard.
• Another way to help the project is to help us with bugs that are currently unassigned but ideally needed during 3.2. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.2_Unassigned_Enhancements.2FBugs
• We’re planning to migrate the project documentation from docbook to sphinx. If you’re interested/able to help with this please join the discussion over on the docs mailing list.
