> Week highlights: new releases of Kdenlive, LSP plugins, Geonkick, Sigil; great new features in GIMP and Ardour; a new materials system is coming to FreeCAD, some rather depressing news about Olive.
> CmykStudent added Adobe Swatch Exchange palette importing, with support for RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, and LAB CIE palette colors.
> Martin Owens has been busy with various things related to text support in CMYK PDF exporting.
> The latest version of Mastodon includes search functionality. It's early days, but seems to work pretty well. Here are some of the interesting things I found when using it.

> For me (professionally) this event was perfect, as we started to work with Koha a few years ago, and meeting the core devs and other community members makes working with (and on!) Koha much easier.
> Welcome to another roundup of new additions to the Big Book of R collection of almost 400 books!
