Some discussion about #Rust software being packaged in #Debian has happened recently. This comment by dkg on the bug report is a good summary of the problems and the current state of the discussion. https://bugs.debian.org/945542#94

HyperCard was inspired by an acid trip.

I think this stage should be factored in to the SDLC.

Hey all,

A while ago, my publication, #WeDistribute, got picked up by Feneas, and now serves as the organization's official publication.

This is all well and good: I get to keep writing articles, and figure out how to turn this whole thing into something more than a one-man project.

The writing team is still very small right now, and I'm putting together guidelines for contributing. I would love nothing more than to see other people who are passionate about the fediverse and decentralized communication tech come on board to help provide news coverage, tutorials, technical explainers, interviews, and editorials.

If you think you're up for the challenge, please apply here: https://wedistribute.org/write-with-us/

Openstreetmap is reaching the point that it is just more information rich and beautiful than google maps and that is awesome

This is a call for volunteers to test the #gitlab Debian package when new versions comes out.

You can just use a Virtual Machine, container or dual boot (to avoid loading your main OS) to do this. Installing gitlab is as simple as 'apt install gitlab' (well, rules of installing from experimental or backports repos in Debian applies).

Check https://wiki.debian.org/gitlab for details. Please reply or DM if interested.

NEWS: Announcing a Manual for New Developers

In the past, new developers have had trouble learning how to contribute to #FreedomBox.

This is why we've made a new resource: a manual that teaches new developers how to add apps to FreedomBox! 🎉

Details: https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/news/manual_for_contributing/

Thanks to Fioddor Superconcentrado for translating hundreds of pages and producing the first translation of the #FreedomBox user manual in Spanish.

https://wiki.debian.org/es/FreedomBox/Manual

The project is lucky to have committed translators who work towards making the product accessible to non-English speakers.

#Translators are under-appreciated heroes in the free software movement. If you are a free software maintainer, consider giving your translators credit in your changelogs and release announcements.

Hello world. Here's my work on integrating Racket and Vulkan, licensed under MIT: https://sagegerard.com/racket-vulkan-notes-index.html #vulkan #racket

https://epicyon.net is an #AGPL licensed #ActivityPub protocol compliant federated #social #network server suitable for hosting a small number of accounts on low power systems requiring minimal maintenance, such as single board computers. It's the ActivityPub equivalent of an email server, storing posts as human readable #JSON on file, rather than in a database. It also uses only a small amount of RAM.

My #freedombox got here all the way from Bulgaria ! Huzzah I’m excited to start setting it up.

FreedomBox 19.19 has a new app for basic Git web hosting using gitweb.

I am shifting all of my personal projects that were still on Microsoft GitHub and GitLab.com to my FreedomBox.
