Key Status/Updates:

* 2.7.1 is cleared for release and will be announced shortly
* 2.6.3 has two remaining issues before it can be built
* We have a new "newcomer" bug category which are bugs suited to
someone new to the project. These can be seen here:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
* General patch backlog and merging is running back to normal
* Our numbers of patches in the metadata has been slowly decreasing
and I wanted to mention how much we appreciate anyone doing cleanup of old/stale data. Over time it is making a significant difference!
* There are ongoing discussions on a few key topics which are
summarised here for convenience. Please contribute if you have an interest in these areas:

* Running the testsuites for glibc/binutils/gcc
* Moving lsb to its own layer
* Removing poky-lsb in favour of some configuration fragments
* Reproducibility
* Minimising python2 dependencies
* Configuration of init systems

* Bitbake changes which change the way runqueue works quite radically
have merged. If people see errors with setscene or normal task execution people do report them.
* Runqueue change to optimise sstate usage/sharing in multiconfig
builds merged. Please report if its not working where you'd expect it to.
