Key Status/Updates:

*	The project recently updated its git hosting infrastructure and
there were some issues encountered with the cgit http/https repository
sharing. Those issues should now be resolved, apologies if they caused
issues for anyone. The git:// protocol sharing was unaffected.
*	YP 3.0.2 rc2 is in QA with the report due soon.
*	We continue to see a small number of reproducibility issues with
master which need resolving for green builds (in particular gstreamer and
perl).
*	A significant memory usage issue was identified during bitbake
parsing where memory usage would grow in each parser thread linearly per
number of recipes parsed. This would therefore particularly affect large
numbers of layers, multilibs and multiconfig. The fix has merged into
bitbake along with the corresponding zeus and warrior branches. For one test
case it reduced peak memory usage during parsing for 5 multiconfigs from
20GB to 2GB.
*	Warrior patches for 2.7.3 are out for review.
*	With the git infrastructure issue updated, we now have centos8
workers added to the autobuilder.
*	We are making various queued changes to the autobuilder
configuration to fix bugs, improve efficiency and test coverage but this may
result in some test result instability as we test and resolve issues.
*	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).
*	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.
