Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.1.4 has been through QA and is now under review for release.
• YP 3.3 M1 is due to be built next week
• YP 3.3 development in master is continuing as patches are reviewed, tested and merged.
• A number of python3 modules have moved to OE-Core, specifically around allowing pytest to operate there as a number of other recipes depend upon it and this seemed the most logical solution.
• Various improvements have been made to the buildbot UI on the autobuilder and these have now been deployed on our live instance. The helper changes to improve the log separation and make the differences between builds clearer has also merged for master.
• Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur. 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.
