Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.2.1 and YP 3.3 M1 were released
*	Patches for 3.3 M2 development are being tested and merged. We have
two weeks before M2 is due to be built.
*	Many version upgrades have been merged and the project has worked
closely with the upcoming autoconf and ppp releases to reduce our patch
deficit and ensure we're ready for them.
*	We have seen a number of reproducibility failures from the increased
test coverage on the autobuilder, several of the issues have had fixes.
*	We are now tracking intermittent ptest failures and a number of bugs
have been opened for these, we don't as yet have people able to work on them
though.
*	CVE metrics have trended slowly downwards, thanks to everyone
sending patches and quietly improving things either through patches or
better CVE definitions upstream.
*	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>
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT
*	The LTS release has changed documentation format from docbook over
to sphinx to match master as it should be more maintainable and consistent
with the project over the planned life of the LTS.
*	For the LTS, there is also discussion on whether the wider
reproducibility testing should be enabled as recently done in master due to
the number of potential issues which may need to be fixed (master isn't 100%
working yet) as well as whether the pseudo path filtering should be
backported. Please do give input to discussions on these topics on the
mailing lists.

 

Ways to contribute:

*	There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers>
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_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhan
cements.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/mai
ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.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.
