Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2025/16 & 17
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
As many know, last weekend was Easter-Weekend, which means many of us in Europe get a long weekend with extra days off. This is why I did not get around to writing last week’s Review. But with such a long weekend in between, it’s also not very surprising that things moved a bit slower. Let me catch up now and inform you about the changes of the last two weeks. We released 8 snapshots (0410, 0411, 0414, 0417, 0418, 0420, 0422, 0423).

Launchpad News: Celebrating community contributions
The Launchpad project is almost 21 years old! Many people have contributed to the project over this lifetime, and we are thankful for all of them. We understand the value of a strong community and we are taking steps to reinvigorate Launchpad’s once-thriving community.
There are two common suggestions for getting started in open source: fixing bugs and contributing to documentation. Early in 2024, Canonical launched the Canonical Open Documentation Academy; an initiative that aims to break down barriers to open source contribution, and work with the community to raise the bar for documentation practice. The Open Documentation Academy has been helping people get involved in open source and has also been helping projects achieve ever higher standards in documentation. Launchpad is one such project.

Hackaday ☛ Sigrok Website Down After Hosting Data Loss
When it comes to open source signal analysis software for logic analyzers and many other sensors, Sigrok is pretty much the only game in town. Unfortunately after an issue with the server hosting, the website, wiki, and other documentation is down until a new hosting provider is found and the site migrated. This leaves just the downloads active, as well as the IRC channel (#sigrok) over at Libera.chat.
