Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 5.0 M3 is in QA
   -

   YP 3.1.32 was released
   -

   A key worry now is the documentation for the release, especially given
   it is an LTS
   -

   The QA screenshot changes were merged but not enabled as there were too
   many bugs still present.
   -

   The go upgrade to 1.22 did merge
   -

   We are seeing issues with devtool tests changing metadata and causing
   race issues. It is unclear why we’re seeing these now.
   -

   The opkg lock issue with systemd images continues to be a significant
   concern for the release.
   -

   The previously reported CVE database update issue on the autobuilder has
   not been addressed yet. This is causing higher numbers of CVEs to be
   reported on the autobuilder generated charts.
   -

   There have been questions about official RISC-V support in this next
   release, especially since it is an LTS. We will trial qemuriscv64 support
   in M3 but remove it before the final LTS release as there is no sponsor for
   that support.


Ways to contribute:

   -

   As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which
   are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to
   keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa,
   autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help
   is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
   -

   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 5.0. See:
   
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.0_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
   -

   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.
   -

   Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
   intermittent 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.

   -

   We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
   appreciated.
   -

   Regarding bugs, even if you can’t fix a bug, submitting a failing test
   case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it
   might get fixed.
