I wonder how other #maintainer handle the version bump for release candidates. I'm planning a RC for #w3m but want to avoid multiple commits updating the configure script just to bump from rc1 to rc2 to release.

Well, addressing 7 issues in a single PR is best practice, right, RIGHT?

Don't worry, it's my PR in my repo, so no big deal. @classquiz

1️⃣ Thêm maintainer tuy vẫn là “owner”
2️⃣ Chuyển repo sang chủ mới – lo mất kiểm soát
3️⃣ Để người fork rồi archive

As I'm finding my way back to active duty in postmarketOS, I'm yet again concluding that I just can't handle maintaining a kernel fork anymore with no upstream in sight.

So this is yet another call for someone to take over rebasing and updating the SDM845 kernel. I'm happy to help deal with regressions, but I'm spending so much of my time lately working on tooling and U-Boot, something has to give and that has been the kernel maintenance.

Joel has done a great job at helping out (and hopefully will continue to do so!) but we're lacking someone to deal with regular updates, get all the devices tested, etc...

If this is something you're interested in and you have some relevant experience please let me know! so many folks are relying on SDM845 devices for their Linux Mobile use or development, so providing some kind of relatively stable platform is pretty important...

Not looking for any xz style maintainers, thanks!

Is that project open-source / free-software?

In practical effect, the answer to this question is not solely dependent on the project's license. It also depends on the project owner or leadership structure.

With community-based projects, this usually doesn't change the answer. But when you have a project with an open-source license which is controlled by a company, you need to ask an additional question:

If the community developers have a change that the project's users want, but which the company that owns the project feels are against its interests, does the change make it into the project or not? [1]

If the answer to this is "Yes, the change goes in, and the company deals with it", then the project is open-source.

If the answer is "No, the company won't include the contribution if it feels it threatens the company's interests", then the project is not open-source, regardless of what the license says. With an appropriate license, you could fork it, and turn it into a community-run project, and *that* would be open source, but the Google/Red Hat/IBM/Oracle/what-have-you original project is not.

Yes, inspired to post by #Google's tantrum about removing #XSLT from #Chrome because the #libxslt maintainer publicly called them out on their #BS.

[1] "If the company has a change the users don't want, does it go in?" too; just two ways of looking at it.

💬 @krisfreedain and Nils Bandener had a great conversation at the #WeAreDevelopers conference in Berlin, diving into the OpenSearch community, what it takes to become a maintainer, and the journey to getting there.

Thanks to the OpenSearch community for keeping the momentum going and pushing boundaries.

Friendgineers: You need to remember who you're really talking to when you write code. It's NOT the compiler and it's not the reviewer, although they need to understand. It's the maintainer. Write for the maintainer. You'll thank yourself later

Friendgineers: We all think we're writing new code, but the reality is, in almost all cases, we're modifying existing code. How do things change if you think of how you're modifying existing code EVERY time you write any code?
