> Now that the headline got your attention, let’s start with the good news - D-Installer development is progressing just fine. What’s the matter then? To answer that question is important to make a difference between D-Installer itself and the live ISO image we provide for everyone to test it. So let’s break this post into sections.
> It's that time again! Time for us to take a look at who the Rust community is composed of, how the Rust project is doing, and how we can improve the Rust programming experience. The Rust Survey working group is pleased to announce our 2022 State of Rust Survey! Whether or not you use Rust today, we want to know your opinions. Your responses will help the project understand its strengths and weaknesses, and establish development priorities for the future.
> Discussions regarding the development and direction of the SPDX Python tools often happen in the weekly meetings or smaller rounds and are not always visible to interested parties. This blog post intends to fill this gap, providing a condensed version of what was done and what is to come. It also should make visible what we (TNG) are accomplishing in the context of an OpenSSF-sponsored project. It is intended to be the first in a series of such posts.

> Over the past two months, 48 PRs were closed, out of which 21 had been open for up to several years. In some cases, the original contributors finished their contributions after a review; in others, we took over and finished the work they started. Some of these PRs were small, and others were large and conflicting – and it’s a relief for everyone that it’s no longer necessary to scan 10+ PRs for possible conflicts or overlaps before making a small change.
> On the side of open issues, the number was reduced from 51 to… 52. To put these numbers into much-needed perspective, though, 25 “old” issues (created before September) and 19 “new” issues were closed. Many new issues were discovered while working on the tools and will be tackled in time, along with the remaining older issues. They are not considered a priority now and will be easier to resolve after some much-needed refactoring (more on that later).
> The domain was just snapped up by a squatter. What a pity, I always enjoyed it.
> Today Software Freedom Conservancy announces that as part of its ongoing efforts to achieve widespread GPL compliance across the tech industry, SFC promotes Denver Gingerich to Director of Compliance.
> SFC is the only organization actively defending Linux's license (the GPL version 2) among the various other projects for which SFC enforces. While enforcing the GPL (and other FOSS licenses) is never SFC's preferred approach, the number of egregious violations of the GPL (including examples such as Vizio) requires SFC to take action given its charitable mission of sustaining FOSS projects, which cannot exist without a fair reciprocal relationship in the organizations and for-profit companies that use them.
