FOSS Activities in May 2026

May 30, 2026 2-minute read

Here’s my monthly but brief update about the activities I’ve done in the FOSS world.

Debian

Whilst I didn’t get a chance to do much, here are still a few things that I worked on:

Leading the DebConf Bursary team along with PEB.
- This took most of my Debian time this month and I think it’ll be the same next month, too.
- Got back to all the tickets on Zammad.
Assisted a few folks in getting their patches submitted via Salsa.
Mentoring for newcomers.
Moderation of -project mailing list.

Whilst I can’t give a full, detailed list of things I did, here’s a quick TL;DR of what I did:

Attended Madrid sprints, lead the Release Management squad.
Progressed a bit more on 26.10 archive opening.
Continued to push for infrastructure improvements:
- Charming.
- Artifact signing.
- Reorganizing cdimage.
- And so on.
Successfully released 26.10 Snapshot 1!
- It was a bit chaotic but we got it out. \o/
Assisted a bunch of folks with my Archive Admin and Release team hats to:
- Helped in archive opening tasks.
- Promoting/demoting binaries to/from main.
- Taking care of package removals and so on.
- Reviewed the NEW queue.

This month I have worked 0 hours on Debian Long Term Support (LTS) and on its sister Extended LTS project.

I still attended the monthly LTS meeting on IRC but I’ll add that hour in next month’s accounting for simplicity.

Until next time.
:wq for today.
