Hey fedi - does anyone own a GL.iNet GL-E750 V2 (Mudi V2) and can help to make it officially supported by OpenWrt?
I am looking into getting a travel modem/router for a trip and would really like to have an option to go for a completely FOSS OS/firmware.

LibreOffice 24.2 (with new "year.month" version scheme) is our latest major release – but we're still maintaining the older 7.6 branch for a while longer. And today we're releasing 7.6.7, a minor update: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/10/libreoffice-7-6-7/

Aha - #FOSS tools for the win. Wondered to myself, can I export an #SVG out of #Blender?

A quick Duck Search tells me yes, there's a plugin called #freestyleSVGExporter which will do it!

You convert an object to a greasePencil object then export that as an SVG. Nice.

My KiCad update download has completed. I'm doing a re-install, then back into the saddle to learn it all over from scratch with a small circuit board project.

But first some lunch.

As one of the projects that benefited from the last year, we can say that packaging a project for a distribution you love is an immense public good. It helps the distribution of projects and helps to strengthen that distribution as well.

Listen to the @projetslibres_podcast with Walid interviewing Lwenn Bussière, Technology Assessor at NLnet, about and NLnet.

Lwenn: "The Internet infrastructure that we know very well comes from free software and is based on an often invisible, often unpaid work of volunteers and enthusiasts. We fund people who actually build sustainable solutions for the Internet."

The podcast is in French with transcriptions in both French and English.

Radically Open Security, the nonprofit computer security company donates 90% of its profits to NLnet. Today @ros turned 10 years old and crossed the magical number of 1 million euro in donations to NLnet.

Happy birthday ROS! And thanks a million :-).

We interviewed ROS co-founder and CEO Melanie Rieback to learn why she decided to give the company such an unusual business model.

I just discovered the robot vacuum cleaner I have is based on software. And you can download the source code from the website.

I'm in the mood to try to get more old software open sourced. If you can think of any old apps that you used on your Series 3a (or Series 5/Revo, but you all know I'm more of a SIBO/EPOC16 fan) that you remember fondly, I'll see if I can track the developer(s) down.
