Hi all, Geary is looking for a co-maintainer!
@mjog doesn't have enough time to to do it all by themselves any more, and so is looking for a hand in taking care of day-to-day tasks such as bug triaging and fixing, and working on improving the front-end side of the app in particular.
If you're interested, take a look at the issue tracker, and pitch on in!
If you have any questions, please thread them below or get in touch with @mjog 👇
Cheers!

after working for months on ensuring gtk4 has nice and usable rust bindings i have spent today making sure docs are a bit better and still have few things to clean up before a release. Overall: I'm happy now.
This year we had great candidates for GSoC and it wasn't an easy choice, but we could only pick two. Congrats to Alejandro Domínguez and Kai A. Hiller. They will work on Fractal-Next to achieve feature parity with current Fractal and add multi-account support.
After 5 days, and around 130km of walking, we arrived yesterday at Florence. Happy but pretty tired. Now back to work on Fractal-Next.
After walked 20km and still around 10km left. 32 km is far on foot for one day, but we made it. Tomorrow it will be chill with just around 20km
On the way of gods, an ancient walking route between Bologna and Florence.

I’m currently looking for work. If anyone has any programming contracts available, please let me know.
At this point in time, if anyone can help me by supporting me on Patreon I’d greatly appreciate it while I persue a stable income.
one step closer to a working Matrix client: Fractal-next now sends text messages 😎

Time for another biased poll.
Do you know what CC and BCC stand for in eMail without having to look it up?
I would appreciate it if you boosted this toot. :-)

Been updating librsvg's internals documentation; it's so nice to remove portions which refer to incorrectly implemented things in the C code which we hoped would be fixed in the Rust port, and now they are.
