Hi! Happy Monday Tuesday: it's time for your weekly <3 It was a holiday yesterday, so we have an off-by-one error this week.

There's 11 PRs in our backlog of community-approved uncontroversial PRs this week: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3AS-Ready-For-Final-Review+-label%3AX-Controversial+-label%3AS-Blocked+-label%3AS-Adopt-Me+

Follow along as I explain and triage them: it's fun to see how works under the hood, and game engines are the charismatic megafauna of FOSS frankly.

  1. https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13449

Lava burning bright with the fire of a thousand suns! Nah, actually that's just a bug. Whoops! We fixed a bug in our rendering code last week, but one of the examples needs to be retuned to stop working around it.

I checked this PR out locally using the gh CLI tool earlier today to validate the change. Looks broken on main, and much more reasonable on this branch. Weird diff though, thanks Github. Merging.

Alright, that's all the PRs for this week! I love seeing the mix of shiny features, bug fixes and little improvements that roll in for @bevy :) It's one of my favorite things about well-run open source: unsexy bugs and papercuts don't get neglected forever. Eventually, someone will be motivated to fix it themselves! And when they do, it'll be an easy review and merge <3

Thanks to all our contributors (including users who complain!): the effort and polish really does add up.

Is there a record for the number of people in your household who has earned @beeware challenge coin?

Our family now has three "Yak Shaver" coins 😎
I'm probably eligible for the "Yak Herder" at the same time, but forgot to ask for it 😅

Yesterday with my family during PyCon US sprint, we made this tiny PR
https://github.com/beeware/beeware/pull/365

It uses my GitHub account because my 11 year old doesn't have one yet 😓

@mariatta I think this also gets the record as the youngest owner of a BeeWare challenge coin! I think 17 was the previous record holder.

Winamp is not going open source. Here's what it is doing - and why https://zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/winamp-is-not-going-open-source-heres-what-it-is-doing-and-why/ by @sjvn

Yes, I know what the headlines say; Don't believe them. is not going to be

@sjvn I'm so sorry, with all these forks and fruits and berries I mixed it up...
It's actually Strawberry.

Clementine apparently got abandoned, and Strawberry is a fork of it.

@richlv I'd wondered! It's so close to Raspberry Pi. Strawberry I know.

Wonderful to hear @peterhoneyman say “Everything we ever did was open source.”

Perfect example of what @nluug stands for.

What is the best in-depth up-to-date survey of the various models that individuals and companies have used to earn money from (or on top of) open source software, and the ups and down thereof? The last thing I saw that I would call systematic was an internal study at a big tech company seven years ago (so not shareable or citable), and even then it documented 20+ approaches. Pointers welcome - thanks.

@gvwilson do you mean business models? We'd like to know too. Check the Practical Open Source call for articles https://opensource.org/blog/practical-open-source-2024-submit-your-proposal

We've got a lot to unpack this #DemoDay! @haubles and Andrew Betts from Fastly dive into the challenges they've faced in the #OpenSource community. Wondering about financial sustainability for open source projects and its positive impact on innovation? They've got that covered too. 💡 Set your reminder for #DemoDay on 5/28 at 1pm EST to learn about open source at Fastly and so much more. https://deploy.equinix.com/events/demo-day-2024/

So I've jokingly proposed this in the past, but would anyone be up for a disability/chronic illness BOF at conferences/events?

could totally be a real thing!

Migueldeicaza,
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social avatar

@juliaferraioli organically proposed and manned BOFs were the best thing about Usenix some 20 years ago.

Most conferences really screw the BOF format by either not giving the space, or trying to do editorial control. Tragic.
