Here’s what happened in the Reproducible Builds effort between Sunday April 15 and Saturday April 21 2018:
-
Holger Levsen announced preliminary result of our poll for our logo which was subsequently verified by Chris Lamb. The winner was “#6”, shown above.
-
Chris Lamb will present at foss-north 2018 on Monday April 23rd in Gothenburg, Sweden to speak about diffoscope, our in-depth “diff-on-steroids” to analyse reproducible issues in packages. He will then be keynoting at FLOSSUK 2018 in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 26th to speak about reproducible builds more generally.
-
Jan Bundesmann, Reiner Herrmann and Holger Levsen wrote an article about Reproducible Builds titled Aus der Schablone (“From the template”) for the May issue of the German “iX” magazine.
-
Holger Levsen began a discussion with the Debian System Administrators regarding redirecting this blog in the future away from the (deprecated) Alioth service. Chris Lamb subsequently started on the migration work.
