Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 4.0.7 and YP 4.2 M2 were released.
*	The 6.1 kernel issues we were seeing on the autobuilder were
resolved by a point upgrade on the kernel to address virtio networking
issues and some patches to address perf reproducibility issues.
*	A summary of some of the key issues was sent to the mailing list:
<https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476>
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/176476

The bitbake command timeout and PR serv async io issues still need to be
addressed.

Thanks to everyone who helped address the other items there, it was much
appreciated.

*	We upgraded to glibc 2.37 and a corresponding uninative upgrade is
pending.
*	Fixes for locale on target were merged with new automated locale
tests to ensure these keep working.
*	We merged patches for basic loongarch support but there is no
testing of it. 
*	CVE levels in master are still high and we need to resolve several
of the issues
*	We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
appreciated.

 

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: patchtest, layerindex,
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>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*	There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.2. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.2_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.
*	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>
