@librecomputer RPM/Fedora/openSUSE support for Debos would be quite simple to add. We added arch support quite recently ;-)

Listening to @kieranbingham talking about libcamera seems to be a common thing for me at conferences!

@__dxu @filbranden @mokomull In fakemachine we do something fairly similar, but (currently) reuse the host kernel rather than an arbitrary kernel.

@rhowe212 @ruphy @abbycabs We decided against organizing a -usually overcrowded- beer event at Delirium this year, in hopes people will spread out a bit over several bars with their own communities (as some already did anyway).

@IanColdwater At Collabora we have plenty of roles across the domains, kernel, core (hardware bringup, Debian integration), graphics, multimedia. Offices in Cambridge and Montréal but probably 90%+ are remote. DMs are open if anyone would like to chat further! https://t.co/G8D5hPIwQ8

We went to have a Chrismas drink/nibbles with some friends last night, he's so passionate about @home_assistant and how easy it is to customise to your needs. I think he even convinced my wife to install the app! It's nice to meet people outside of work who enjoy tinkering!

Still thinking about the AMAZING holiday show @Collabora put on for employees last night. I was very skeptical but @HarrisonKramer_ managed to capture the whole audience and I was even part of one of his card tricks so I knew it was real! Hope to see you next Christmas!

My new ThinkPad T14 gen1 w/ Ryzen7 builds an x86 kernel in 3m18s, compared to 7m25s on my old 8th gen i7 dell. That's a win!
