Key Status/Updates:

• YP 4.1 M1 was released
• YP 3.1.17 rc2 is due to be released (fixed for the openssl ptest issue are queued)
• We’re taking normal development work, recipe upgrades, bug fixes and so on, nothing too major to report.
• Patch metrics are in a reasonable position thanks to continued and sustained work over time to try and control the level and status of patches in OE-Core.
• WDD is also lower than it has been for a while, thanks to bugzilla cleanup and issues being addressed by a number of people.
• At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, we continue to see intermittent autobuilder failures which result in a need to retry builds. This is a significant concern and uses up a lot of time/resources to try and investigate and fix.
• 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

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 4.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_4.1_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.
