Key Status/Updates:

*        We're now coming to the end of the M1 development period with it closing next Monday.

*        The recipe specific sysroot patchset has been updated with a number of the key issues being addressed.

*        Patches are being merged but we're continue to struggle to track down which patches in testing are causing which failures which does slow down the overall merge progress. The work Ross has been doing here is much appreciated. We have seen many recipe upgrades being merged.

*        Performance of bitbake on systems with large numbers of cores appears to have bottlenecks in bitbake-worker. One patch has already merged for this and there are some further patches pending. Python3 appears to have made this issue worse.

*        The monthly tech meeting is tomorrow at 8am PST.  US Phone: 8007302996/9139049836, Bridge: 2705751
