I'm happy to formally announce that Wesnoth has joined Software in the Public Interest (SPI) as an associated project.

SPI is now the legal entity responsible for keeping track of money donated to Wesnoth as well as Wesnoth's trademark rather than Wesnoth Inc, which costs significantly less than what it did to have Wesnoth Inc's taxes filed.

Additionally, donations to Wesnoth are now tax deductible for donors in the US and can now be made via the Donate button on https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/wesnoth/.

some quick testing makes me confident that amlogic A311D is another interesting SoC upgrade candidate for MNT Reform (and Pocket) for the future (if there are no surprises with DSI). 4x A73@2.2GHz + 2x A53@1.8GHz is neat, plus Mali G52 which is well supported by panfrost.

Have you heard about #ReproducibleBuilds? This is one of the biggest #security benefits of #FOSS. On #Android, this technique ensures that the #FDroid version of an app exactly matches the developer's version.

Read our article below for more details and to see how easy it is for developers to get set up:

Is there any way that I can embed a toot into an article I'm writing, the way I can with tweets and FB posts?

Hey there. I've been missing my music tech friends in London and Berlin, so I'm starting a new series of events for sound hackers here in Portland, OR.

Join the meetup group below if you're into messing about with sound. I'll set up streaming for the talks and performances, so there is no need to be local!

great news: cinap_lenrek from the 9front project contributed a patch to our version of u-boot that finally gives us a graphical console (and keyboard) in the bootloader on MNT Reform: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/12 this will also help with running OpenBSD.
