Next weekend we're having another edition of #BoilingTheOcean (back to the og name, by popular demand)! Topics include, as usual, GNOME, Linux Mobile, and local-first. This time we'll bring a working version of Aardvark to take notes :)
Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th, from 12:00 onwards
@101lab, Skalitzerstr. 100 (thanks @ben4climate!)

I blogged about last week's hackfest!
https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2024/10/05/boiling-the-ocean-hackfest
i wrote a proposal for restricting the ways we support booting #postmarketOS, most notably this includes dropping support for subpartitions and forcing all users booting this way to migrate (backup and re-install).
the subpartitioning scheme has been a source of bugs and frustration for years, now that there's very little justification for it i think it's time we said goodbye.
curious to hear what people think, did i miss anything?
so @elly got the SOF audio dsp working on the lenovo ideapad slim 3 (mediatek 8186) and immediately proceeded to run celeste on postmarketOS (with a fedora container)
In other news, we have a slightly updated schedule for the few next days!
Some impressions from Boiling The Ocean yesterday and today! Lots of productive planning and hacking including on postmarketOS, GNOME OS, Papers, eSIM settings, local-first plans, and much more :)
