Key Status/Updates:

• YP 3.1.12 is due for release this week
• YP 3.4.1 is going into QA.
• Next week is the first milestone build for 3.5.
• There are some major changes with python modules to be able to support 5.16 and later kernels due to new dependencies
• We continue to see a reduction in the number of patches in “Pending” state. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review patch status and handle accordingly, particularly where they were accepted upstream. This will significantly benefit the project in the long term.
• Intermittent issues continue to rise and help is very much welcome on these 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 3.5. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.5_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.
