Key Status/Updates:

*	2.7.1 was released
*	2.6.3 has patches pending review and then will 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
*	There are ongoing discussions on a few key topics which are
summarized 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
*	Minimizing python2 dependencies
*	Configuration of init systems

*	Changing poky's init system default to systemd is running into a
large number of testing failures on the autobuilder which puts that change
at risk.
*	The autobuilder performance problem when stopping builds has been
tracked down and fixed. The controller was also upgraded for some
performance improvements (thanks Michael).
*	There are patches available which enable runqueue optimisations
based on output comparisons of tasks. This removes the need to run later
tasks if the output is unchanged and is based upon the previous hash
equivalence server work. This feature should be a significant win for the
users and is now working to a level where we'll likely make this a key
feature of the next release.
