#GNU #Guile 3.0.6 released! 🎉
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/news/gnu-guile-306-released.html

Among the highlights are the inclusion of a bundled mini-GMP, a new ‘read’ in #Scheme, and various optimizations.

#GNURadio’s Board and General Assembly agree to join the #GNU Assembly as member project! 👏🏽
https://lists.gnu.tools/hyperkitty/list/assembly@lists.gnu.tools/thread/3BPEJ7R3E26IEE4WRHP6PLF4GH3NKGV3/

It’s exciting, and it’s also a great lesson of collective decision-making from a mature and well-organized project.

A big thank you to @cwebber for an insightful look into #ActivityPub and its exciting evolution & future (migrating and surviving content & identities amongst others) during the 2nd webinar on ActivityPub for Administrations!

Also exciting to hear Robert Riemann from the European Data Protection Supervisor lay out their plans to join the #fediverse (Mastodon & Peertube are expected). Important to understand the requirements & expectations of EU-institutions for (self-hosting) new tech.

Carl Dong wrote a great guide on the many ways of getting #Guix installed on a “foreign distro”:

Today we're kicking off the #GNU Assembly!

https://gnu.tools

This is a new umbrella for GNU people seeking transparent decision-making and built around consensus. It's the result of a decade of struggle to make #GNU inclusive, transparent, and community-driven.

#GNU contributors: consider joining!

#FreeSoftware activists: help us spread the word!

Geeky side of the #gnuassembly web site: it’s built with the excellent #Haunt by @dthompson

Logo designed by Ricardo Wurmus and implemented (!) in #GNU #Guile with the Picture Language:

Chris Marusich and @lle_bout write on their journey porting #GNU #Guix to #POWER9 and what it means for user freedom:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2021/new-supported-platform-powerpc64le-linux/

The post also explains how they went about porting and what #reproducibility issues they faced.

Last but not least: this work is now merged! 👏🏽

Another exciting #GNU #Guile achievement by Andy!

Mes camarades et moi organisons les 17 et 18 mai un atelier sur la #reproductibilité des environnements logiciels, avec 7 interventions de scientifiques et d'admins sys :

https://hpc.guix.info/events/2021/atelier-reproductibilité-environnements/

Si tu es porté·e sur la #RechercheReproductible, le #HPC ou #Guix, rejoins-nous !

I did it! I merged #Guix code that includes 4- and 6-year old commits, no less, and that have been rebased a number of times.

It's about using G-expressions all the way down, including for packages. Finishing a transition started 6 years ago, yay!

GNU Mes 0.23 released!

Mes now supports ARM! For development it also builds with @gnutools' gcc-10 and @guilelang 3.0

Just fixed a bug by throwing more code at it…

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/46967#6

Put this way it sounds questionable, but in this case it’s a step forward that had to be made anyway.
