A contest for new logos
for the openSUSE project and for
four separate distributions of it,
Tumbleweed, Leap, Slowroll, and
Kalpa, has turned into a
bit of an uproar in that community. A vote
has been held on the candidates and winners have been announced, but
some are questioning why there is a need to change the existing logo (the
“Geeko”
chameleon) at all. In addition, there are questions about whether the
new logo will be trademarked (as previous ones have been)—and how many
years that will take.

The Rust for Linux (RFL) project may not have (yet) resulted in user-visible
changes to the Linux kernel, but it seems the wider world has taken notice.
Hongyu Li has announced
that the Rust for Linux code is now part of a satellite just launched
out of China. The satellite is running a system called RROS, which follows the old
RTLinux pattern of running a realtime kernel alongside Linux. The realtime
core is written in Rust, using the RFL groundwork.

Despite its imperfections, we still want to share RROS with the
community, showcasing our serious commitment to using RFL for
substantial projects and contributing to the community’s
growth. Our development journey with RROS has been greatly enriched
by the support and knowledge from the RFL community. We also have
received invaluable assistance from enthusiastic forks here,
especially when addressing issues related to safety abstraction

(Thanks to Dirk Behme).

A new book called OpenPGP for application
developers has been released under the Creative Commons BY-SA license.

This document is not intended for end-users or implementers of
OpenPGP libraries (or other software that directly handles internal
OpenPGP data structures).

Instead, this document is focused on the second group, application
developers, who use OpenPGP functionality in their software
projects. It describes the properties of the OpenPGP system and its
uses. It presupposes solid knowledge of software development
concepts and of general cryptographic concepts. Thus, this text
describes OpenPGP at the “library-level,” teaching concepts that
will help software developers get started as a user of any
implementation (e.g., OpenPGP.js, Sequoia-PGP).
