Shortcodes for my Weekly Reports

I’ve been writing weekly reports on my free software activities for over a month now, so I’m looking at ways of making these easier to write.

I’ve also been thinking about DRM on the web. Debian I have prepared and uploaded fixes for the measurement-kit and hamradio-maintguide packages.

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.
