PSA
* #FreeCAD 0.19 official release is approaching, after 23 months of development
* Ubuntu daily PPA is soon to get updated OCCT libraries (from 7.3.0 to 7.5.1) which should prevent some crashes, a benefit from a FreeCAD contributor who patched the OCCT source code. The packages are already uploaded, last night's builds of FreeCAD failed because of unmet dependencies with netgen, a separate issue. Up to now netgen support had been disabled...

Are you involved in #architecture #engineering or #construction? I'd like to propose the creation of an #opensource buildingSMART chapter, to help represent FOSS devs to help increase transparency and ethical behaviour in the built environment.

#FreeCAD development update! Specifying coordinates is the most important aspect of doing #BIM for infrastructure projects. FreeCAD can now specify a coordinate reference system for your project. This exports into an #OpenBIM #IFC map conversion.

I'm getting your new videos on Mastodon now! Maybe it didn't work with the other videos because they were already published when you added the #FreeCAD tag. Thanks! And I can even comment from Mastodon directly to your Peertube video.

Read over the #FreeCAD forum, from two days ago (HT: kkremitzki):

FreeCAD 0.18~pre1 has just hit the #Debian NEW queue: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

This ensures that FreeCAD 0.18 will be in Debian 10 even if the 0.18 release happens after the Debian 10 release.

Although I hope we do not have to wait this long for 0.18 to be released!
