GNOME GUADEC 2022 & Debian Albanian women trafficked to Mexico?
DebConf22 and the GNOME conference, GUADEC 2022 both took place during the same week from 20 to 25 July 2022.
[...]
The two women closest to Lamb in Brazil are also pictured in Mexico at the GUADEC women's dinner. Given that DebConf was so much closer to their country in adjacent Kosovo, how did they go to Mexico? One of them works for GNOME so she has a legitimate reason to be in Mexico.
GUADEC 2022 was the last GUADEC for Neil McGovern as Executive Director. We already wrote about the manner in which GNOME parted ways with McGovern. Given the murkiness about his departure and the GUADEC day trip to the city of Tequila, we feel the funding of Albanian women needs careful scrutiny.
Therefore, as both conferences were on the same week, we wanted to ask where was Chris Lamb? The former Debian leader is completely absent from the DebConf22 schedule. Querying his username finds nothing. Did he skip DebConf and travel to Mexico to attend the sending off of his friend Neil McGovern, along with the Albanian friends?

Cassidy James Blaede: Toot toot! Mastodon-powered Blog Comments
If you follow me on Mastodon, you’ve probably heard that I’ve added Mastodon-powered comments to this here blog. If you missed it, check it out!
Read on to dive into my process, the first few iterations of how I did it, and what my hopes are for the future. There are lots of links to the source code on GitHub if you want to follow along, as well. Oh, and throughout this post I’ll be referring to “Mastodon” comments, but technically any Fediverse account that uses ActivityPub can comment on my blog by replying to the the associated Mastodon post—and I do directly use the Mastodon API to get those replies and associated data from my own instance.

Dave Patrick Caberto: GSoC 2023: Rust and GTK 4 Bustle Rewrite (Week 3 & 4)
There's unfortunately not a lot to talk about for the past two weeks as I have been really absorbed with finals at my university. However, while preparing for the finals, we got the PR to add from_bytes constructor for zbus::Message merged. This means that we can now construct zbus::Message from raw GDBusMessage bytes and vice versa, which is critical for porting Bustle from GDBus to zbus.

Tanmay Patil: GSoC Update: PlayAnswer widget (wip)
After dedicating first two weeks of work to libipuz, it was time to shift our focus to the UI part of the Application.
Discussion
To create the PlayAnswer widget, we had two choices: either inherit from the PlayGrid or design a container that includes a PlayGrid as its child. Ultimately, we decided to go with inheriting from the PlayGrid.
