Sad to be missing everybody at #36C3 this year. I was too chaotic to arrange my EOY travel early enough. :-(

As a Dutch citizen in the UK I can't vote for the general election, but at least there's something I else can vote in this week: https://debian.org/vote/2019/vote_002

What I've been working on recently: The #Debian Janitor is a bot that automatically creates merge proposals fixing minor issues in Debian packages. https://jelmer.uk/debian-janitor.html

A new release of #Dulwich is out; 0.19.14. https://pypi.org/project/dulwich/0.19.14/

If you're a #debian developer interested in receiving pull requests fixing lintian issues in your packages, send me a message. I'm looking to expand testing of https://janitor.debian.net/lintian-fixes/

Packages to migrate from #Bazaar to #Breezy should be hitting Debian testing soon.

A new release of #Dulwich is out; 0.19.13. https://pypi.org/project/dulwich/0.19.13/

@gdroid #com_keylesspalace_tusky #fdroid_app_comments Neat, easy to use mastodon app.

Exporting Prometheus /metrics for wsgi apps with multiple processes is a pain. This page does a reasonable job of covering all of the options: https://echorand.me/your-options-for-monitoring-multi-process-python-applications-with-prometheus.html

Silver Platter is a new tool to aid in making bulk changes across VCS repositories on different hosting platforms). https://www.jelmer.uk/silver-platter-intro.html

@gdroid #at_bitfire_davdroid Reliable app for syncing with a DAV server.

Disappointed to see the Guardian repeatedly provide a platform to known quacks like Uri Geller.

#vdirsyncer is in need of a new maintainer; hopefully somebody steps up. https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer/issues/790

We've released Breezy 3.0.0, the first version of a friendly fork of Bazaar that ports it to Python 3 and adds Git repository format support. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2019q1/076312.html

Using #ansible after #propellor feels like a step backwards. Expressing configuration intent in #Haskell is much nicer than in yaml. The larger ecosystem is a big benefit of ansible, though.
