Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 4.0.25 is out of QA pending review
   -

   YP 5.1.3 is in QA
   -

   We are now 1 week from feature freeze for 5.2
   -

   Patch review remains a challenge due to the limited number of people
   involved and the volume and breadth of changes. That work distracts from
   work on areas like clang or other improvements.
   -

   We are struggling to get stable releases to build cleanly due to
   intermittent failures, which places strain on everyone. Sadly, traction on
   help for the intermittent issues remains problematic.
   -

   There are multiple occasional but annoying autobuilder failures we could
   do with help debugging/fixing, summarized by
   https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
   -

   Bitbake-setup patches have been submitted but merging remains unlikely
   simply due to lack of participation in the review/testing process.
   -

   The gomod mirror issue in meta-openembedded continues to give failed
   builds on the autobuilder. There would be ways to add short term fixes. The
   better fixes likely involve rewriting mirror url handling, which can’t be
   rushed into and discussions on that are stalling anyway.
   -

   The newcomer bug list has been triaged and has a number of new issues
   added.


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 is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to
   making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarball
   and SDK). We’d love assistance in moving this forward and getting some kind
   of upstream feature merged to make this easier:
   https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
   -

   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 5.2. See:
   
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.2_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.
   -

   Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
   <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/>
   -

   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.
   -

   Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.
   -

   Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document:
   
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4rjD830A/edit?usp=sharing

We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find
ways to fund specific work items.
