In the last couple of years we have started to diversify our hardware partners, setup new services using containers and isolated VMs, investigated secure supply chain issues, added redundant mirrors, created a non-profit home, collected funds, invested in open communication, open office hours and introduced community oversight by a Sourceware Project Leadership Committee with the help from the Software Freedom Conservancy. https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html = git source code integrity. gitsigur for protecting git repo integrity. With comparisons, developer workflow examples and composition possibilities for gitsigur, b4 and sigstore. https://inbox.sourceware.org/ZJ3Tihvu6GbOb8%2FR@elastic.org/ Sourceware now also allows signed git pushes (in addition to signed git commits). = inbox.sourceware.org vs HTML email HTML email. Most Sourceware projects allow it, if there is at least a text/plain alternative. But public-inbox is not so forgiving, it only allows plain-text emails, HTML is rejected by default. So the https://inbox.sourceware.org archive was incomplete. We now have a filter that removes redundant HTML parts before storing in public-inbox. And we re-imported missing emails to make the archive complete. But please don't sent HTML email. It will make DKIM verification of your email impossible. = Continuous glibc src and manual snapshots glibc is the latest Sourceware project that provides continuous snapshots from current git with both source archives and manuals. https://snapshots.sourceware.org This helps to make sure the release process always works and that manuals can be produced in various formats. Thanks to OSUOSL for hosting the snapshots server. = Conservancy BBB server for Sourceware projects The Software Freedom Conservancy is extending the use of their Big Blue Button instance https://bbb.sfconservancy.org/ to Sourceware projects that want to host video meetings. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2023/aug/15/exit-zoom/ Please contact overseers@sourceware.org for instructions on how to create an account for your project. Note: Anyone is able to join a meeting, accounts are only required to create new meetings. = Working on individual tech sovereignty together Valgrind was picked for a FUTO https://futo.org Microgrant, which has been donated to Sourceware through the Software Freedom Conservancy for maintaining and expanding the infrastructure for Valgrind and other core toolchain and developer tool projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYzzOfQehPg If you want to donate to Sourceware please see https://sfconservancy.org/donate and become a Conservancy Sustainer or give directly by mentioning Sourceware as comment or on the memo line. = Sourceware Overseers Open Office hour Every second Friday of the month is the Sourceware Overseers Open Office hour in #overseers on irc.libera.chat from 18:00 till 19:00 UTC. The next one will be Friday September 4th. Please feel free to drop by with any Sourceware services and hosting questions. Feedback and questions about the Sourceware 25 Roadmap are also very appreciated. https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html Of course you are welcome to drop into the #overseers channel at any time and we can also be reached through email and bugzilla: https://sourceware.org/mission.html#organization If you aren't already and want to keep up to date on Sourceware infrastructure services then please also subscribe to the overseers mailinglist. https://sourceware.org/mailman/listinfo/overseers We are also on the fediverse these days: https://fosstodon.org/@sourceware The Sourceware Project Leadership Committee also meets once a month to discuss all community input. The committee will set priorities and decide how to spend any funds, negotiate with hardware and service partners, create budgets together with the Conservancy, or decide when a new fundraising campaign is needed. Up till now we have been able to add new services without needing to use any of the collected funds. Our hardware partners have also been very generous with providing extra servers when requested. The current committee includes Frank Ch. Eigler, Christopher Faylor, Ian Kelling, Ian Lance Taylor, Tom Tromey, Jon Turney, Mark J. Wielaard and Elena Zannoni.
