Iain R. Learmonth: Free Software Efforts (2017W39)
Here s my weekly report for week 39 of 2017. In this week I have travelled to
Berlin and caught up on some
podcasts in doing so. I ve also had some trouble with
the RSS feeds on my blog but hopefully this is all fixed
now.
Thanks to Martin Milbret I now have a replacement for my dead
workstation, an HP Z600, and there will be a blog post
about this new set up to come next week. Thanks also to S lvan and a number of
others that made donations towards getting me up and running again. A breakdown
of the donations and expenses can be found at the end of this post.
Debian
Two of my packages
measurement-kit
from OONI and
python-azure-devtools
used to build the Azure Python
SDK (packaged as
python-azure) have been
accepted by ftp-master into Debian s unstable suite.
I have also sponsored uploads for
comptext,
comptty,
fllog,
flnet and
gnustep-make.
I had previously encouraged Eric Heintzmann to become a DM and I have given him
DM upload privileges for the gnustep-make package as he has shown to care for
the GNUstep packages well.
Bugs closed (fixed/wontfix): #8751251, #8751261, #861753, #873083
Tor Project
My Tor Project contributions this week were primarily attending the Tor Metrics
meeting which I have reported on in a separate blog
post.
Sustainability
I believe it is important to be clear not only about the work I have already
completed but also about the sustainability of this work into the future. I
plan to include a short report on the current sustainability of my work in each
weekly report.
The replacement workstation arrived on Friday and is now up and running. In
total I received 308.73 in donations and spent 36.89 on video adapters and
141.94 on replacement hard drives for my NAS (which includes my local Debian
mirror and backups).
For the Tor Metrics meeting in Berlin, Tor Project paid my flights and
accommodation and I paid only for ground transport and food myself. The total
cost for ground transport during the trip was 45.92 (taxi to airport, 1
Tageskarte) and total cost for food was 23.46.
The current funds I have available for equipment, travel and other free
software expenses is now 60.52. I do not believe that any hardware I rely on
is looking at imminent failure.
