Key Status/Updates:

   -

   YP 4.0.30 was released.
   -

   YP 5.2.4 is under review.
   -

   YP 5.3 M3 is due to build soon.
   -

   We=E2=80=99re at feature freeze for YP 5.3. There are three pending item=
s we
   still need to resolve before building:
   -

      Fixing a reproducibility problem in perf from 6.16
      -

      Split of llvm from clang (patches ready and in testing)
      -

      Merging of bitbake-setup
      -

   Bitbake-setup is nearing being ready for merging, there is one
   oe-selftest related issue we need to resolve first. Apart from this it i=
s
   running successfully on the autobuilder.
   -

   This change will mean =E2=80=9Cpoky=E2=80=9D as a combo-layer repository=
 will no longer
   be needed or updated.
   -

   Patch merging is continuing as long as the risk for the changes are low
   -

   There are likely going to be breaking changes to the npm fetcher related
   to ongoing security concerns.
   -

   The proposal to allow backporting of SPDX 3 support to scarthgap was
   accepted by the TSC, assuming tests are added and pass.
   -

   There is an open Yocto Project position which we=E2=80=99re in the proce=
ss of
   advertising:
   -

      LTS Maintainer
      <https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/LinuxFoundation/744000081384375-yoc=
to-lts-maintainer-contractor>
-
      Steve Sakoman is retiring in April 2026


Ways to contribute:

   -

   As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which
   are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to
   keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa,
   autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Hel=
p
   is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
   -

   There is an issue open upstream with the openssl project related to
   making path relocation of openssl easier (as used in our buildtools tarb=
all
   and SDK). We=E2=80=99d love assistance in moving this forward and gettin=
g some kind
   of upstream feature merged to make this easier:
   https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19260
   -

   There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
   https://dashboard.yoctoproject.org/bugtriage/#newcomer-container
   -

   There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.3. See:
   https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.3_Unassigned_Enh=
ancements/Bugs
   -

   We=E2=80=99d 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 =E2=80=9CUnassigned=E2=80=
=9D soon to help
   facilitate this.
   -

   Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
   intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we=E2=80=99re cont=
inuing to
   see by searching for the =E2=80=9CAB-INT=E2=80=9D tag in bugzilla:
   https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=3DAB-INT.
   -

   Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
   <https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/non-release/patchmetrics/>
   -

   We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is
   appreciated.
   -

   Regarding bugs, even if you can=E2=80=99t fix a bug, submitting a failin=
g test
   case that can reproduce the issue significantly improves the chances it
   might get fixed.
   -

   Further help on optimizing build disk usage would be most welcome.
   -

   Ongoing project development plans are being developed in this document:
   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xsnN_HcaMhqg6Dn1P_19AnumDaUMQSdFZ_I4=
rjD830A/edit?usp=3Dsharing

We need to continue to develop this as it will allow us to potentially find
ways to fund specific work items.
