Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.2 rc2 is out of QA, approved by the TSC and should be released imminently.
• Happy 10th Anniversary Yocto Project! Jefro presented a video to celebrate at ELC-E which is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnhD5CRmfOw

He is collecting more video clips, quotes and photos to put on a page on the website so please send them over to him, it was great to see people past and present from the project.

• The Yocto Project Summit was a success, thanks to everyone who helped organise or participated.
• Unfortunately, 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

• A YP 3.3 planning document has been created for ideas about what may happen in the YP 3.3 release (assuming there are people to work on the items):

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IHiE0NU0XspDocgxZeLQ_W7o-yr0nVeBjbqImQUtH5A/edit Request edit/suggest access if you want to add to it.

• YP 3.3 dates for builds, milestones and release have been added below.
• Development for 3.3 has started and various queued recipe upgrades and other changes have merged to master.

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.
