I'm already excited about Linux App Summit. The first conference I attend in-person in over two years.
I will also give a talk about Fractal, it's sponsorship and development of the last year. https://conf.linuxappsummit.org/event/4/contributions/86/

Real convergence means bringing your desktop computer with you wherever you go. We have invested in convergence with PureOS to make it a reality. We start with the desktop OS and shrink it down to your pocket. Here is convergence in action! Learn more about PureOS here: https://pureos.net/
Yesterday, we moved the fractal-next branch to main. This means we will get now nightly builds. 🎉
Fractal-next is moving along nicely.
Yesterday, we merged SSO support, and therefore we closed an issue opened over 2 years ago 🎉
Today, finally, after a lot of work we merged the timeline cache into main of the matrix-rust-sdk. 🎉
For Fractal-next this means that we can switch back to use the main branch.
I'm gonna talk about Fractal-next during the matrix-rust-sdk talk at FOSDEM today at 12:10
An update on Fractal-next and the NLnet grant. https://blogs.gnome.org/jsparber/2022/01/28/a-long-overdue-update-fractal-next/
I wasted so much more time by procrastinating something then actually doing it.
Even though I'm terrible on keeping you up-to-date on the development of Fractal-next. We are making really good progress.
I will talk about Fractal-next during FOSDEM 2022 in the matrix dev room.
Is there really no way to share audio over wifi in the way we do it with Bluetooth for Android devices.
Apple has AirPlay but there isn't anything for Android.
Unfortunately I need a new smartphone, does anybody have a suggestion on what to get?

I started working on session verification for Fractal-next. Still a long way to go, but it's a start.
I have been taking a summer break from on Fractal-next itself. But kept working with our GSoC students to move forward on there projects. Thanks to Kai and Alejandro for your work over the summer.

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.
