Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.2.2 has passed QA cleanly and awaiting final release approval.
• YP 3.1.6 has been built and is in QA.
• We have one week left before M3 is due to be built. This marks our feature freeze point for YP 3.3.
• We are trying to add rpm to reproducibility testing however there are several issues we need to resolve before that can merge.
• Looking through some of the patches in the “Pending” state, we have some really old stale ones which really need decisions to be made about their future. It would help a lot if recipe maintainers could recipe recipe patchsets and upstream them or remove them if they are no longer relevant. 
• The glibc 2.33 issues encountered should now hopefully be resolved with the latest pseudo changes.
• Most of the successful AUH (Automatic Upgrade Helper) patches are now merged or queued however many of the failed upgrades have yet to be handled
• Intermittent autobuilder issues continue to occur and are now at a record high level. 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

Ways to contribute:

• 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 3.3. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.3_Unassigned_Enhancements.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/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.
