Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.1 M2 was released
*	We're now in a much better position with reproducibility issues
after around 20 patches merged addressing various problems. Some issues
still remain but the bulk of the issues appear to be under control now.
*	Due to the number and type of fixes found, the 3.0.2 rc1 build will
be abandoned and rc2 built with the reproducibility fixes (as well as
additional hashserv/multiconfig fixes). This delays 3.0.2 by a week but for
a reasonable set of improvements.
*	YP 3.0.2 should therefore enter QA within the next day or so.
*	Review of newly queued warrior (2.7.3) patches will happen later
this week once 3.0.2 is in QA.
*	With the new fixes and a small fix to the autobuilder code, we
managed the first green "full" build in nearly three months.
*	The incoming patch queue is roughly under control again
*	We're collecting a list of companies, products and projects which
use the Yocto Project on the wiki:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users Please add any you know are
missing (or email Richard/Stephen who can add).
*	One worrying metric is that the WDD is now on level with the high of
2017 so our worst defect weighting in two years. This is sadly unsurprising
and directly correlated to a lack of participation in the triage process and
a lack of people working on general bug fixing.
*	The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and
the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is
willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
