GNOME: End for Neil McGovern, D-Bus API Versioning, and More

Neil McGovern Stepping Down as Gnome’s Executive Director
Neil McGovern is stepping down as the executive director of Gnome Foundation. In a Valentine’s Day blog, McGovern said it’s time for someone else to have a go at running the organization that produces Linux’s most used desktop environment.
The announcement came a week-and-a-day after FOSDEM, the huge EU-based open source developer’s conference that was this year held entirely online due to the ongoing pandemic. This is noteworthy because FOSDEM is where the gig he’s leaving behind began.

A Note on D-Bus API Versioning
In the code review cycles for some of the PWA project PRs I’ve put out, the question has been raised about the proper way to version D-Bus APIs, since I am adding a new D-Bus API to GNOME Web. I learned a couple things and thought I’d share in case it’s useful.

Sam Thursfield: Status update, 16/02/2022
Since I discovered Listenbrainz, I always wanted to integrate it with Calliope, with two main goals. The first, to use an open platform to share and store listen history rather than the proprietary Last.fm. And the second, to have an open, neutral place to share playlists rather than pushing them to a private platform like Spotify or Youtube. Over the last couple of months I found time to start that work, and you can now sync listen history and playlists with two new cpe listenbrainz-history and cpe listenbrainz commands. So far playlists can only be exported *from* Listenbrainz, and the necessary changes to the pylistenbrainz binding are still in review, but its a nice start.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
