Aryan Kaushik: UbuCon Asia 2024
Hi everyone!
It’s been about two weeks since UbuCon Asia (Ubuntu Conference Asia) concluded (fun fact: 13 weeks since I wrote the initial draft, so 15 now), and I’m really starting to miss it.
This blog is being posted after my GNOME Asia post as it was really hard to pack all the emotions and memories in just one blog, but here we go.
It all started as a wild idea to host GNOME Asia a year or two back. Gradually, it transformed into a joint event between UbuCon and GNOME Asia and eventually into UbuCon Asia 2024.

Kevin Fenzi: OpenWrt one - a short review
Recently the OpenWrt One was announced for sale. This is a wireless access point/router powered by Banana Pi and designed by the OpenWrt project. Additionally, $10 from every device sold go to the Software freedom conservency to help fund OpenWrt efforts.
The device was available on aliexpress, which is a bit weird for us here in the west, but I had no trouble ordering it there and the cost was pretty reasonable. It arrived last week.
