I've put together some details for folk interested in working with #Android Firmware (#AOSP, Lineage, etc.) about what the development cycle looks like. Let me know if you find it useful or think there should be changes made.

Head is spinning: now we setup our reproducible builder as a job of itself, just updated (API change in a used library), and the reproducible builder built itself, and the output thereof is exactly the same as one further build step.

Wanting to ask: how reproducible are your reproducible build setups? Do you have written down what the dependencies / a bootstrap thereof looks like (and which packages are involved)? Asking for a friend of a reproducible builder ;)

We (Sequoia, https://sequoia-pgp.org) are looking to hire a devop engineer to maintain and expand our CI, setup some benchmarking infrastructure, keep our web services running like dump.sequoia-pgp.org, etc. You should care about privacy and free software. We'd prefer someone living in or near a European timezone. Salary is 43 kEuros/year for 20 hours/week. Salary is not negotiable. Hours are (salary scales linearly). If you are interested, mail me: 8F17777118A33DDA9BA48E62AACB3243630052D9 .

We moved our chat room from the IRC network that seems to be set on getting rid of its users to Matrix: #k9mail:matrix.org.
The Matrix room is bridged to #k9mail on @liberachat; for those of you who still prefer IRC.

See you all there 👋

If you run your own synapse, you can fix youtube url previews like this: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9733#issuecomment-857582330

(It'll also fix twitter image previews.)

Hi all, Geary is looking for a co-maintainer!

@mjog doesn't have enough time to to do it all by themselves any more, and so is looking for a hand in taking care of day-to-day tasks such as bug triaging and fixing, and working on improving the front-end side of the app in particular.

If you're interested, take a look at the issue tracker, and pitch on in!

If you have any questions, please thread them below or get in touch with @mjog 👇

Cheers!
