  24       <div class="date">28th February 2025</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Since my motivation boost in the beginning of the month caused me
  26 to wrap up a new release of
  27 <tt><a href="https://xiph.org/oggz/">liboggz</a></tt>, I have used the
  28 same boost to wrap up new editions of
  29 <tt><a href="https://xiph.org/fishsound/">libfishsound</a></tt>,
  30 <tt><a href="https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/liboggplay/">liboggplay</a></tt>
  31 and
  32 <tt><a href="https://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggKate">libkate</a></tt>
  33 too.  These have been tagged in upstream git, but not yet published on
  34 the Xiph download location.  I am waiting for someone with access to
  35 have time to move the tarballs there, I hope it will happen in a few
  36 days.  The same is the case for a minor update of liboggz too.</p>
  37
  38 <p>As I was looking at Xiph packages lacking updates, it occurred to
  39 me that there are packages in Debian that have not received a new
  40 upload in a long time.  Looking for a way to identify them, I came
  41 across the <tt>ltnu</tt> script from the
  42 <tt><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/devscripts">devscripts</a></tt>
  43 package.  It can sort by last update, packages maintained by a single
  44 user/group, and is useful to figure out which packages a single
  45 maintainer should have a look at.  But I wanted a archive wide
  46 summary.  Based on the <a href="https://udd.debian.org/">UDD</a> SQL
  47 query used by ltnu, I ended up with the following command:</p>
  48
  49 <pre>
  50 #!/bin/sh
  51 env PGPASSWORD=udd-mirror psql --host=udd-mirror.debian.net --user=udd-mirror udd --command="
  52 select source,
  53        max(version) as ver,
  54        max(date) as uploaded
  55 from upload_history
  56 where distribution='unstable' and
  57       source in (select source
  58                  from sources
  59                  where release='sid')
  60 group by source
  61 order by max(date) asc
  62 limit 50;"
  63 </pre>
  64
  65 <p>This will sort all source packages in Debian by upload date, and
  66 list the 50 oldest ones.  The end result is a list of packages I
  67 suspect could use some attention:</p>

 125 <p>So there are 8 packages last uploaded to unstable in 2011, 12
 126 packages in 2012 and 26 packages in 2013.  I suspect their maintainers
 127 need help and we should all offer our assistance.  I already contacted
 128 two of them and hope the rest of the Debian community will chip in to
 129 help too.  We should ensure any Debian specific patches are passed
 130 upstream if they still exist, that the package is brought up to speed
 131 with the latest Debian policy, as well as ensure the source can built
 132 with the current compiler set in Debian.</p>

 150       <div class="date">10th February 2025</div>
 151       <div class="body"><p>It is a while since I posted a summary of the free software and
 152 open culture activities and projects I have worked on.  Here is a
 153 quick summary of the major ones from last year.</p>
 154
 155 <p>I guess the biggest project of the year has been migrating orphaned
 156 packages in Debian without a version control system to have a git
 157 repository on salsa.debian.org.  When I started in April around 450
 158 the orphaned packages needed git.  I've since migrated around 250 of
 159 the packages to a salsa git repository, and around 40 packages were
 160 left when I took a break.  Not sure who did the around 160 conversions
 161 I was not involved in, but I am very glad I got some help on the
 162 project.  I stopped partly because some of the remaining packages
 163 needed more disk space to build than I have available on my
 164 development machine, and partly because some had a strange build setup
 165 I could not figure out.  I had a time budget of 20 minutes per
 166 package, if the package proved problematic and likely to take longer,
 167 I moved to another package.  Might continue later, if I manage to free
 168 up some disk space.</p>
 169
 170 <p>Another rather big project was the translation to Norwegian Bokmål
 171 and publishing of the first book ever published by a Sámi woman, the
 172 «<a href="http://www.hungry.com/~pere/publisher/#infoerlifellerdoed2024">Møter
 173 vi liv eller død?</a>» book by Elsa Laula, with a PD0 and CC-BY
 174 license.  I released it during the summer, and to my surprise it has
 175 already sold several copies.  As I suck at marketing, I did not expect
 176 to sell any.</p>
 177
 178 <p>A smaller, but more long term project (for more than 10 years now),
 179 and related to orphaned packages in Debian, is my project to ensure a
 180 simple way to install hardware related packages in Debian when the
 181 relevant hardware is present in a machine.  It made a fairly big
 182 advance forward last year, partly because I have been poking and
 183 begging package maintainers and upstream developers to include
 184 AppStream metadata XML in their packages.  I've also released a few
 185 new versions of the isenkram system with some robustness improvements.
 186 Today 127 packages in Debian provide such information, allowing
 187 <tt>isenkram-lookup</tt> to propose them.  Will keep pushing until the
 188 around 35 package names currently hard coded in the isenkram package
 189 are down to zero, so only information provided by individual packages
 190 are used for this feature.</p>
 191
 192 <p>As part of the work on AppStream, I have sponsored several packages
 193 into Debian where the maintainer wanted to fix the issue but lacked
 194 direct upload rights.  I've also sponsored a few other packages, when
 195 approached by the maintainer.</p>
 196
 197 <p>I would also like to mention two hardware related packages in
 198 particular where I have been involved, the megactl and mfi-util
 199 packages.  Both work with the hardware RAID systems in several Dell
 200 PowerEdge servers, and the first one is already available in Debian
 201 (and of course, proposed by isenkram when used on the appropriate Dell
 202 server), the other is waiting for NEW processing since this autumn.  I
 203 manage several such Dell servers and would like the tools needed to
 204 monitor and configure these RAID controllers to be available from
 205 within Debian out of the box.</p>
 206
 207 <p>Vaguely related to hardware support in Debian, I have also been
 208 trying to find ways to help out the Debian ROCm team, to improve the
 209 support in Debian for my artificial idiocy (AI) compute node.  So far
 210 only uploaded one package, helped test the initial packaging of
 211 llama.cpp and tried to figure out how to get good speech recognition
 212 like Whisper into Debian.<p>
 213
 214 <p>I am still involved in the LinuxCNC project, and organised a
 215 developer gathering in Norway last summer.  A new one is planned the
 216 summer of 2025.  I've also helped evaluate patches and uploaded new
 217 versions of LinuxCNC into Debian.</p>
 218
 219 <p>After a 10 years long break, we managed to get a new and improved
 220 upstream version of <tt>lsdvd</tt> released just before Christmas.  As
 221 I use it regularly to maintain my DVD archive, I was very happy to
 222 finally get out a version supporting DVDDiscID useful for uniquely
 223 identifying DVDs.  I am dreaming of a Internet service mapping DVD IDs
 224 to IMDB movie IDs, to make life as a DVD collector easier.</p>
 225
 226 <p>My involvement in Norwegian archive standardisation and the free
 227 software implementation of the vendor neutral Noark 5 API continued
 228 for the entire year.  I've been pushing patches into both the API and
 229 the test code for the API, participated in several editorial meetings
 230 regarding the Noark 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt specification, submitted
 231 several proposals for improvements for the same.  We also organised a
 232 small seminar for Noark 5 interested people, and is organising a new
 233 seminar in a month.</p>
 234
 235 <p>Part of the year was spent working on and coordinating a Norwegian
 236 Bokmål translation of the marvellous children's book
 237 «<a href="https://fsfe.org/activities/ada-zangemann/">Ada and
 238 Zangemann<a>», which focus on the right to repair and control your own
 239 property, and the value of controlling the software on the devices you
 240 own.  The translation is mostly complete, and is now waiting for a
 241 transformation of the project and manuscript to use Docbook XML
 242 instead of a home made semi-text based format.  Great progress is
 243 being made and the new book build process is almost complete.</p>
 244
 245 <p>I have also been looking at how to companies in Norway can use free
 246 software to report their accounting summaries to the Norwegian
 247 government.  Several new regulations make it very hard for companies
 248 to do use free software for accounting, and I would like to change
 249 this.  Found a few drafts for opening up the reporting process, and
 250 have read up on some of the specifications, but nothing much is
 251 working yet.</p>
 252
 253 <p>These were just the top of the iceberg, but I guess this blog post
 254 is long enough now. If you would like to help with any of these
 255 projects, please get in touch, either directly on the project mailing
 256 lists and forums, or with me via email, IRC or Signal. :)</p>

 274       <div class="date"> 9th February 2025</div>
 275       <div class="body"><p>A little over a week ago, I noticed
 276 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/liboggz">the liboggz
 277 package</a> on my Debian dashboard had not had a new upstream release
 278 for a while.  A closer look showed that its last release, version
 279 1.1.1, happened in 2010.  A few patches had accumulated in the Debian
 280 package, and I even noticed that I had passed on these patches to
 281 upstream five years ago.  A handful crash bugs had been reported
 282 against the Debian package, and looking at the upstream repository I
 283 even found a few crash bugs reported there too.  To add insult to
 284 injury, I discovered that upstream had accumulated several fixes in the
 285 years between 2010 and now, and many of them had not made their way
 286 into the Debian package.  I decided enough was enough, and that a new
 287 upstream release was needed fixing these nasty crash bugs.  Luckily I
 288 am also a member of the Xiph team, aka upstream, and could actually go
 289 to work immediately to fix it.</p>
 290
 291 <p>I started by adding automatic build testing on
 292 <a href="https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/liboggz">the Xiph gitlab oggz
 293 instance</a>, to get a better idea of the state of affairs with the
 294 code base.  This exposed a few build problems, which I had to fix.  In
 295 parallel to this, I sent an email announcing my wish for a new release
 296 to every person who had committed to the upstream code base since
 297 2010, and asked for help doing a new release both on email and on the
 298 #xiph IRC channel.  Sadly only a fraction of their email providers
 299 accepted my email.  But Ralph Giles in the Xiph team came to the
 300 rescue and provided invaluable help to guide be through the release
 301 Xiph process.  While this was going on, I spent a few days tracking
 302 down the crash bugs with good help from
 303 <a href="https://www.valgrind.org/">valgrind</a>, and came up with
 304 patch proposals to get rid of at least these specific crash bugs.  The
 305 open issues also had to be checked.  Several of them proved to be
 306 fixed already, but a few I had to creat patches for.  I also checked
 307 out the Debian, Arch, Fedora, Suse and Gentoo packages to see if there
 308 were patches applied in these Linux distributions that should be
 309 passed upstream.  The end result was ready yesterday.  A new liboggz
 310 release, version 1.1.2, was tagged, wrapped up and published on the
 311 project page.  And today, the new release was uploaded into
 312 Debian.</p>
 313
 314 <p>You are probably by now curious on what actually changed in the
 315 library.  I guess the most interesting new feature was support for
 316 Opus and VP8.  Almost all other changes were stability or
 317 documentation fixes.  The rest were related to the gitlab continuous
 318 integration testing.  All in all, this was really a minor update,
 319 hence the version bump only from 1.1.1 to to 1.1.2, but it was long
 320 overdue and I am very happy that it is out the door.</p>
 321
 322 <p>One change proposed upstream was not included this time, as it
 323 extended the API and changed some of the existing library methods, and
 324 thus require a major SONAME bump and possibly code changes in every
 325 program using the library.  As I am not that familiar with the code
 326 base, I am unsure if I am the right person to evaluate the change.
 327 Perhaps later.</p>
 328
 329 <p>Since the release was tagged, a few minor fixes has been committed
 330 upstream already: automatic testing the cross building to Windows, and
 331 documentation updates linking to the correct project page.  If a
 332 important issue is discovered with this release, I guess a new release
 333 might happen soon including the minor fixes.  If not, perhaps they can
 334 wait fifteen years. :)</p>
 335
 336 <p>I would like to send a big thank you to everyone that helped make
 337 this release happen, from the people adding fixes upstream over the
 338 course of fifteen years, to the ones reporting crash bugs, other bugs
 339 and those maintaining the package in various Linux distributions.
 340 Thank you very much for your time and interest.</p>

 386       <div class="date">19th January 2025</div>
 387       <div class="body"><p>For some years now, I have been working on a automatic hardware
 388 based package recommendation system for Debian and other Linux
 389 distributions.  The isenkram system I started on back in 2013 now
 390 consist of two subsystems, one locating firmware files using the
 391 information provided by apt-file, and one matching hardware to
 392 packages using information provided by AppStream.  The former is very
 393 similar to the mechanism implemented in debian-installer to pick the
 394 right firmware packages to install. This post is about the latter
 395 system.  Thanks to steady progress and good help from both other
 396 Debian and upstream developers, I am happy to report that
 397 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/isenkram">the Isenkram
 398 system</a> now are able to recommend 121 packages using information
 399 provided via
 400 <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/">AppStream</a>.</p>
 401
 402 <p>The mapping is done using modalias information provided by the
 403 kernel, the same information used by udev when creating device files,
 404 and the kernel when deciding which kernel modules to load.  To get all
 405 the modalias identifiers relevant for your machine, you can run the
 406 following command on the command line:</p>
 407
 408 <pre>
 409 find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 sort -u
 410 </pre>
 411
 412 <p>The modalias identifiers can look something like this:</p>
 413
 414 <pre>

 424 <p>The entries above are a selection of the complete set available on
 425 a Dell PowerEdge R730 machine I have access to, to give an idea about
 426 the various styles of hardware identifiers presented in the modalias
 427 format.  When looking up relevant packages in a Debian Testing
 428 installation on the same R730, I get this list of packages
 429 proposed:</p>
 430
 431 <pre>
 432 % sudo isenkram-lookup
 433 firmware-bnx2x
 434 firmware-nvidia-graphics
 435 firmware-qlogic
 436 megactl
 437 wsl
 438 %
 439 </pre>
 440
 441 <p>The list consist of firmware packages requested by kernel modules,
 442 as well packages with program to get the status from the RAID
 443 controller and to maintain the LAN console.  When the edac-utils
 444 package providing tools to check the ECC RAM status will enter testing
 445 in a few days, it will also show up as a proposal from isenkram.  In
 446 addition, once the mfiutil package we uploaded in October get past the
 447 NEW processing, it will also propose a tool to configure the RAID
 448 controller.</p>
 449
 450 <p>Another example is the trusty old Lenovo Thinkpad X230, which have
 451 hardware handled by several packages in the archive.  This is running
 452 on Debian Stable:</p>
 453
 454 <pre>

 469 tlp
 470 tp-smapi-dkms
 471 tpb
 472 %
 473 </pre>
 474
 475 <p>Here there proposal consist of software to handle the camera,
 476 bluetooth, network card, wifi card, GPU, fan, fingerprint reader and
 477 acceleration sensor on the machine.</p>

 509
 510 <p>In addition to these, there are several
 511 <a href="https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=pere%40hungry.com&tag=appstream-modalias">with
 512 patches pending in the Debian bug tracking system</a>, and even more
 513 where no-one wrote patches yet.  Good candiates for the latter are
 514 packages
 515 <a href="https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag.cgi?tag=appstream-metadata-missing-modalias-provide">with
 516 udev rules but no AppStream hardware information</a>.</p>
 517
 518 <p>The isenkram system consist of two packages, isenkram-cli with the
 519 command line tools, and isenkram with a GUI background process.  The
 520 latter will listen for dbus events from udev emitted when new hardware
 521 become available (like when inserting a USB dongle or discovering a
 522 new bluetooth device), look up the modalias entry for this piece of
 523 hardware in AppStream (and a hard coded list of mappings from isenkram
 524 - currently working hard to move this list to AppStream), and pop up a
 525 dialog proposing to install any not already installed packages
 526 supporting this hardware.  It work very well today when inserting the
 527 LEGO Mindstorms RCX, NXT and EV3 controllers. :) If you want to make
 528 sure more hardware related packages get recommended, please help out
 529 fixing the remaining packages in Debian to provide AppStream metadata
 530 with hardware mappings.</p>

 592 <p>It is nice to see that the same number of packages now support PNG

 594 types are known to me, but the 'audio/x-scpls' one I have no idea what
 595 represent, except it being an audio format.  To find the packages
 596 claiming support for this format, the appstreamcli command from the
 597 appstream package can be used:

 650 packages do not support STL.  Perhaps just missing package metadata?
 651 Luckily the amount of package metadata in Debian is getting better,
 652 and hopefully this way of locating relevant packages for any file
 653 format will be the preferred one soon.

 672       <div class="body"><p><a href="https://linuxcnc.org/">The LinuxCNC project</a> is
 673 trotting along.  And I believe this great software system for
 674 numerical control of machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma
 675 cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and hexapods, would do even
 676 better with more in-person developer gatherings, so we plan to
 677 organise such gathering this summer too.</p>
 678
 679 <p>This year we would like to invite to a small LinuxCNC and free
 680 software fabrication workshop/gathering in Norway this summer for the
 681 weekend starting July 4th 2025.  New this year is the slightly larger
 682 scope, and we invite people also outside the LinuxCNC community to
 683 join.  As earlier, we suggest to organize it as an
 684 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference">unconference</a>,
 685 where the participants create the program upon arrival.</p>
 686
 687 <p>The location is a metal workshop 15 minutes drive away from to the
 688 Gardermoen airport (OSL), where there is a lot of space and a hotel only
 689 5 minutes away by car. We plan to fire up the barbeque in the evenings.</p>
 690
 691 <p>Please let us know if you would like to join.  We track the list of
 692 participants on <a href="https://pad.efn.no/p/linuxcnc-2025-norway">a
 693 simple pad</a>, please add yourself there if you are interested in joining.</p>
 694
 695 <p><a href="https://www.nuugfoundation.no/">The NUUG Foundation</a> has on
 696 our request offered to handle any money involved with this gathering,
 697 in other words holding any sponsor funds and paying any bills.
 698 NUUG Foundation is a spinnoff from the NUUG member organisation here
 699 in Norway with long ties to the free software and open standards
 700 communities.</p>
 701
 702 <p>As usual we hope to find sponsors to pay for food, lodging and travel.</p>

 720       <div class="date">21st December 2024</div>
 721       <div class="body"><p>The rumors of the death of
 722 <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/lsdvd/">the lsdvd project</a>
 723 is slightly exaggerated.  And the last few months, we have been
 724 working on fixing and improving it, culminating in a new release last
 725 night.  This is the list of changes in the new 0.18 release, as
 726 <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/message/59108028/">announced
 727 on the project mailing list</a>:</p>
 728
 729 <ul>
 730
 731   <li>Simplified autoconf setup, dropped --enable-debug option.</li>
 732   <li>Improved video resolution reporting (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/patches/8/">Fixes #8</a>).</li>
 733   <li>Applied patches fetched from BSDs (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/patches/7/">Fixes #7</a>).</li>
 734   <li>Corrected Perl output (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/patches/1/">Fixes #1</a>).</li>
 735   <li>Adjusted Pan and Scan entries to produce valid XML.</li>
 736   <li>Changed --help output from stderr to stdout.</li>
 737   <li>Corrected aspect ratio and audio format formatting.</li>
 738   <li>Avoid segfault when hitting a NULL pointer in the IFO structure.</li>
 739   <li>Change build rules to supress compiler flags, to make it easier to
 740    spot warnings.</li>
 741   <li>Set default DVD device based on OS (Linux, *BSD, Darwin)</li>
 742   <li>Added libdvdread DVDDiscID to output.</li>
 743   <li>Corrected typo in longest track value in XML format.</li>
 744   <li>Switched XML output to use libxml to avoid string encoding issues.</li>
 745   <li>Added simple build time test suite.</li>
 746   <li>Cleaned up language code handling and adding missing mapping for
 747    language codes 'nb' and 'nn'.</li>
 748   <li>Added JSON output support using -Oj.</li>
 749 </ul>
 750
 751 <p>The most exciting news to me is easy access to the DVDDiscID, which
 752 make it a lot easier to identify DVD duplicates across a large
 753 collection of DVDs.  During testing it has proved to be very effective
 754 ad identifying when DVDs in a DVD box (say all Star Wars movies) is
 755 identical to DVDs sold individually (like the same Star Wars movies
 756 packaged individually).</p>
 757
 758 <p>Because none of the current developers got access to do tarball
 759 releases on Sourceforge any more, the release is only available as
 760 <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/git/ci/0.18/tree/">a git
 761 tag</a> in the repository.  Lets hope it do not take ten years for the
 762 next release.  The project are discussing to move away from
 763 Sourceforge, but it has not yet concluded.</p>

 781       <div class="date">11th July 2024</div>
 782       <div class="body"><p><a href="http://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Time_to_move_orphaned_Debian_packages_to_git.html">In
 783 April</a>, I started migrating orphaned Debian packages without any
 784 version control system listed in debian/control to git.  This morning,
 785 my Debian QA page finally reached 200 QA packages migrated.  In
 786 reality there are a few more, as the packages uploaded by someone else
 787 after my initial upload have disappeared from my QA uploads list.  As
 788 I am running out of steam and will most likely focus on other parts of
 789 Debian moving forward, I hope someone else will find time to continue
 790 the migration to bring the number of orphaned packages without any
 791 version control system down to zero.  Here is the updated recipe if
 792 someone want to help out.</p>
 793
 794 <p>To locate packages to work on, the following one-liner can be used:</p>
 795
 796 <blockquote><pre>
 797 PGPASSWORD="udd-mirror" psql --port=5432 --host=udd-mirror.debian.net \
 798   --username=udd-mirror udd -c "select source from sources \
 799    where release = 'sid' and (vcs_url ilike '%anonscm.debian.org%' \
 800    OR vcs_browser ilike '%anonscm.debian.org%' or vcs_url IS NULL \
 801    OR vcs_browser IS NULL) AND maintainer ilike '%packages@qa.debian.org%' \
 802    order by random() limit 10;"
 803 </pre></blockquote>
 804
 805 <p>Pick a random package from the list and run the latest edition of
 806 the script
 807 <tt><a href="http://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/images/2024-07-11-debian-snap-to-salsa.sh">debian-snap-to-salsa</a></tt>
 808 with the package name as the argument to prepare a git repository with
 809 the existing packaging.  This will download old Debian packages from
 810 <tt>snapshot.debian.org</tt>.  Note that very recent uploads will not
 811 be included, so check out the package on <tt>tracker.debian.org</tt>.
 812 Next, run <tt>gbp buildpackage --git-ignore-new</tt> to verify that
 813 the package build as it should, and then visit
 814 <a href="https://salsa.debian.org/debian/">https://salsa.debian.org/debian/</a>
 815 and make sure there is not already a git repository for the package
 816 there.  I also did <tt>git log -p debian/control</tt> and look for vcs
 817 entries to check if the package used to have a git repository on
 818 Alioth, and see if it can be a useful starting point moving forward.
 819 If all this check out, I created a new gitlab project below the Debian
 820 group on salsa, push the package source there and upload a new version.
 821 I tend to also ensure build hardening is enabled, if it prove to be
 822 easy, and check if I can easily fix any lintian issues or bug reports.
 823 If the process took more than 20 minutes, I dropped it and moved on to
 824 another package.</p>
 825
 826 <p>If I found patches in debian/patches/ that were not yet passed
 827 upstream, I would send an email to make sure upstream know about them.
 828 This has proved to be a valuable step, and caused several new releases
 829 for software that initially appeared abandoned. :)</p>

 847       <div class="date">10th July 2024</div>
 848       <div class="body"><p>The Norwegian <a href="https://linuxcnc.org/">The LinuxCNC</a>
 849 developer gathering 2024 is over.  It was a great and productive
 850 weekend, and I am sad that it is over.</p>
 851
 852 <p>Regular readers probably still remember what LinuxCNC is, but her
 853 is a quick summary for those that forgot?  LinuxCNC is a free software
 854 system for numerical control of machines such as milling machines,
 855 lathes, plasma cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and
 856 hexapods.  It eats G-code and produce motor movement and other changes
 857 to the physical world, while reading sensor input.</p>
 858
 859 <p>I am not quite sure about the total head count, as not all people
 860 were present at the gathering the entire weekend, but I believe it was
 861 close to 10 people showing their faces at the gathering.  The "hard
 862 core" of the group, who stayed the entire weekend, were two from
 863 Norway, two from Germany and one from England.  I am happy with the
 864 outcome from the gathering.  We managed to wrap up a new stable
 865 LinuxCNC release 2.9.3 and even tested it on real hardware within
 866 minutes of the release.  The release notes for 2.9.3 are still being
 867 written, but should show up on on the project site in the next few
 868 days.  We managed to go through around twenty pull requests and merge
 869 then into either the stable release (2.9) or the development branch
 870 (master).  There are still around thirty pull requests left to
 871 process, so we are not out of work yet.  We even managed to
 872 fix/improve a slightly worn lathe, and experiment with running a
 873 mechanical clock using G-code.</p>
 874
 875 <p>The evening barbeque worked well both on Saturday and Sunday.  It
 876 is quite fun to light up a charcoal grill using compressed air.  Sadly
 877 the weather was not the best, so we stayed indoors most of the
 878 time.</p>
 879
 880 <p>This gathering was made possible partly with sponsoring from both
 881 <a href="https://www.redpill-linpro.com/">Redpill Linpro</a>,
 882 <a href="https://debian.org/">Debian</a> and
 883 <a href="https://nuugfoundation.no/">NUUG Foundation</a>, and we are
 884 most grateful for the support.  I would also like to thank the local
 885 school for lending us some furniture, and of course the rest of the
 886 members of the organizers team, Asle and Bosse, for their countless
 887 contributions.  The gathering was such success that we want to do it
 888 again next year.</p>
 889
 890 <p>We plan to organize the next Norwegian LinuxCNC developer gathering
 891 at the end of June next year, the weekend Friday 27th to Sunday 29th
 892 of June 2025.  I recommend you reserve the dates on your calendar
 893 today.  Other related communities are also welcome to join in, for
 894 example those working on systems like FreeCAD and opencamlib, as I am
 895 sure we have much in common and sharing experiences would be very
 896 useful to all involved.  We are of course looking for sponsors for
 897 this gathering already.  The total budget for this gathering was
 898 around NOK 25.000 (around EUR 2.300), so our needs are quite modest.
 899 Perhaps a machine or tools company would like to help out the free
 900 software manufacturing community by sponsoring food, lodging and
 901 transport for such gathering?</p>
