Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.1 M2 is due to be released with reservations.
*	There are significant concerns with M2 due to the build
reproducibility failures which continue to cause major problems with master
too. These will have to block the M3 build/release.
*	The NPM fetcher rework patches have now merged, we'd like to thank
Jean-Marie Lemetayer for his patience whilst they were made into good shape
with regression tests, thanks, its a good end result.
*	The host dependencies on makeinfo and pod2man have now been dropped
to simplify build dependencies and improve reproducibility.
*	The mpc8315e-rdb machine/BSP has been dropped from meta-yocto-bsp.
*	Build reproducibility issues have been tracked down to a number of
causes but many more remain, some with open bugs, some with bugs yet to be
filed. Any assistance with reproducibility issues is appreciated as is the
major factor blocking patch merging at present.
*	Reproducibility failure debugging has been improved with better
integration into the autobuilder to assist with this. Saved problematic
output is now saved at:  <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/>
https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/
*	Ongoing kernel issues still prevent kernel upgrades merging at
present but work on debugging the issues is moving forward (thanks
Victor/Cisco in particular)
*	We're collecting a list of companies, products and projects which
use the Yocto Project on the wiki:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users Please add any you know are
missing (or email Richard/Stephen who can add).
*	We have created a "documentation" list and a "licensing" list on the
yocto project mailing list infrastructure. We believe these topics would
benefit from dedicated discussions, the people involved usually aren't
interested in bulk email as would be found on other lists. The new lists can
be found at:  <https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/licensing/join>
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/licensing/join and
<https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/join>
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/join 
*	The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and
the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is
willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
