Dries Buytaert: Announcing the Drupal Starshot Advisory Council

Dries Buytaert: Announcing the Drupal Starshot Advisory Council

I’m excited to announce the formation of the Drupal Starshot Advisory Council. When I announced Starshot’s Leadership Team, I explained that we are innovating on the leadership model by adding a team of advisors. This council will provide strategic input and feedback to help ensure Drupal Starshot meets the needs of key stakeholders and end-users.

The Drupal Starshot initiative represents an ambitious effort to expand Drupal’s reach and impact. To guide this effort, we’ve established a diverse Advisory Council that includes members of the Drupal Starshot project team, Drupal Association staff and Board of Directors, representatives from Drupal Certified Partners, Drupal Core Committers, and last but not least, individuals representing the target end-users for Drupal Starshot. This ensures a wide range of perspectives and expertise to inform the project’s direction and decision-making.

The initial members include:

The council has been meeting monthly to receive updates from myself and the Drupal Starshot Leadership Team. Members will provide feedback on project initiatives, offer recommendations, and share insights based on their diverse experiences and areas of expertise.

In addition to guiding the strategic direction of Drupal Starshot, the Advisory Council will play a vital role in communication and alignment between the Drupal Starshot team, the Drupal Association, Drupal Core, and the broader Drupal community.

I’m excited to be working with this accomplished group to make the Drupal Starshot vision a reality. Together we can expand the reach and impact of Drupal, and continue advancing our mission to make the web a better place.

This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 11 Jul 2024, Week 28

Community News

Cartes IGN, Discover France another way and witness the land’s evolution, is a nice mapping app for France. Even if not French, the ways you can interact with the data is something to be experienced, or even more, in the spirit of “Public money, public code”, maybe something we should ask our local administrations to do for our countries too. App description text will be fixed in the next version (upstream PR#92)

DataBackup was updated to 2.0.1 and its dev XayahSuSuSu gives us the news:

The app has been released on F-Droid for a while. Recently it has a breaking change on UIs, with a lot of new features.

  • 🔥It supports reproducible builds on F-Droid now so it uses the signing key of the developer
  • ✨ This update IS NOT COMPATIBLE with old versions, you’d better CLEAN INSTALL this version, and you can reload to restore legacy backups.
  • 🎉 Welcome new friends to our team: @omersusin, @PalmDevs, @frknkrc44.
  • ✨ Reimplemented cloud functions.
  • ✨ Supported SSAID backup and restoring, you need to reboot after restoring SSAIDs.
  • ✨ Supported keystore detection, which means this application may not work after restoring.
  • ✨ Downgraded to api 26. Yes now we support Android 8.0+

We’ve been building betas of Dolphin Emulator, the GameCube and Wii emulator, whenever we or its users noticed a new site note, but recently the app devs started to use a rolling release cycle and celebrated, after 8 years, with a new proper release named 2407. About the road ahead, the new logo and more, you can read in the fresh blog post here.

Inbox Pager, Read and write e-mails, was updated to 7.0 after a three and a half years hiatus.

SkinBread was updated to 1.3 bringing a new key, hence if you have the app installed you’d need to uninstall then reinstall to get future updates. While we’ve written about the care needed for keys in the past, unfortunately we still see developers end up losing their own from time to time.

Removed Apps

3 apps were removed

PiliPala and PiliPalaX were disabled due to the usage of a non-free captcha lib, GeeTest (极验), for the in-app login page. Currently Pilipala still uses the “old” webview login page, while the problematic in-app login is work-in-progress, so GeeTest is patched out and we can rebuild the app in the next cycles. Unfortunately PilipalaX has switched to the new in-app login page so we are not sure what the future holds.

Selfnet WIFI-Setup, as with other apps like it, got replaced by the new geteduroam which is not yet available in F-Droid.

Newly Added Apps

5 more apps were newly added
  • Play NotePad – Robust note-taking app with multimedia and organizational features
  • Rank-My-Favs – Rank your favorite things, using simple pair-wise matchups
  • Rush – App to search, view, save and share lyrics like Spotify!
  • Sharing – Share files and apps over HTTP
  • VAT Calculator – Calculate VAT for any country in the world

Updated Apps

131 more apps were updated

Qualcomm’s Oryon core: a long time in the making

Posted on by Michael G
In 2019, a startup called Nuvia came out of stealth mode. Nuvia was notable because its leadership included several notable chip architects, including one who used to work for Apple. Apple chips like the M1 drew recognition for landing in the same performance neighborhood as AMD and Intel’s offerings while offering better power efficiency. Nuvia had similar goals, aiming to create a power efficient core that could could surpass designs from AMD, Apple, Arm, and Intel. Qualcomm acquired Nuvia in 2021, bringing its staff into Qualcomm’s internal CPU efforts. Bringing on Nuvia staff rejuvenated Qualcomm’s internal CPU efforts, which led to the Oryon core in Snapdragon X Elite. Oryon arrives nearly five years after Nuvia hit the news, and almost eight years after Qualcomm last released a smartphone SoC with internally designed cores. For people following Nuvia’s developments, it has been a long wait. ↫ Chips and Cheese Now that the Snapdragon X Elite and Pro chips are finally making their way to consumers, we’re also finally starting to see proper deep-dives into the brand new hardware. Considering this will set the standard for ARM laptops for a long time to come – including easy availability of powerful ARM Linux laptops – I really want to know every single quirk or performance statistic we can find.
