Jussi Pakkanen ☛ Jussi Pakkanen: Happenings at work
Since I'm not a millionaire at some point I'll probably have to get a job again. But not for at least six months. Maybe more, maybe less, we'll see what happens.
This should not affect Meson users in any significant way. I plan to spend some time to work on some fundamental issues in the code base to make things better all round. But the most important thing for now is to land the option refactor monster.

Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk Eddelbuettel: gcbd 0.2.7 on CRAN: More Mere Maintenance
Another pure maintenance release 0.2.7 of the gcbd package is now on CRAN. The gcbd proposes a benchmarking framework for LAPACK and BLAS operations (as the library can exchanged in a plug-and-play sense on suitable OSs) and records result in local database. Its original motivation was to also compare to GPU-based operations. However, as it is both challenging to keep CUDA working packages on CRAN providing the basic functionality appear to come and go so testing the GPU feature can be challenging.
Making GNOME adapt to form factors beyond desktop and laptop computers is an ongoing trend that can be dated as early as the late 2000s, when Maemo provided a GNOME-based UI to phones like the Nokia N810 or the Nokia N900.
