Key Status/Updates:

• The QA report for M3 rc1 is available. This is the first time we’ve used the new QA process so we’re still understanding how the new format for the data works out. There are some issues but right now we believe we’ll aim to fix these before the final release build and proceed to that with the first build of M4 aiming for next week.
• The YP 2.7 M3 rc1 report is summarized at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2019-April/044667.html and the results are at https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.7_M3.rc1/testresults/.
• 2.5.3 and 2.6.2 stable releases were built and submitted to QA last week.
• The “warrior” branches for 2.7 have been created and the metadata updated. This will have a ripple effect across the layers as they update to match this. This process is important as it allows layers to indicate which versions of the project they are compatible with.
• The 2.8 planning discussions are starting and there is a google doc summarising the discussions so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CNEKA4d0eT6-e0hnS2pwi7xdZ5_t6smpZO2HbaJGXbU/

If people are planning to work on specific things in 2.8 please let us know so we can incorporate this into our plans. If you’re interested in working on anything in the document, please also let us know or talk with us in one of the planning meetings.
