Key Status/Updates:
 * YP 6.0.3 was released
 * YP 5.0.20 is under review.
 * YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
 * There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com
   which are affecting our CI. 
 * Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues
   before building M3.
 * There is a new meta-openjdk layer:
   https://github.com/amarula/meta-openjdk
https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-patches/[email protected]/T/#u
 * AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking
   huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost
   impact to the project.
 * There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others
   could now help, as detailed in
   https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
    - Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
    - aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work
on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need
to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if
not the actual fix.
 * Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
    - other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
    - sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
    - intermittent ptest failures in many recipes

Want to contribute? We would appreciate help with the following areas:
 * We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time
   to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming
   in C would be greatly appreciated.
   
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
 * There are a large number of intermittent failures on our
   autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving
   these issues would be welcome!

 * Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe
   maintainer. Please look at
   
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc
   and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
