Open Source Activities for February 2025
February was a bit of a lighter month, due to travel and other activities. I spent some time polishing up LXD to help ensure a clean upgrade when trixie arrives and updated some other packages closing a handful of bugs.
Also, I was able to attend FOSDEM for the first time. It’s quite the experience! I had fun catching up with a few people I had previously met at DebConf, attending the packed Debian BOF gathering, finding the local amateur radio operators, and participating in real-life defragmentation of seats in the Go dev room. 😁
Highlights
- Began work on some package reorganization for Incus to more closely match upstream’s packages provided via Zabbly
- Tested a variety of bookworm -> trixie upgrade scenarios for LXD, and ported a few VM-related fixes from Incus
