Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.
Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.
Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

Version 1.2.0 of the xdg-utils is out! 
Please test them! (But don't deploy yet)
Thank you to everyone else who contributed and thanks to Simon for the trust and maintainer work! 
We need more eyes on that code! 
The xdg-utils are children of their time, shellscripts that by large don’t follow a “modern” scripting style …
… which means that there is a lot of work to catch up on and any changes should be reviewed by more people than they currently are.
In case you want to help:
Just pick something that seems interesting and doable for you and open an issue/merge request.
Things that need to be done:
- Read the code and try to find mistakes (Usage of external tools, escaping, …)
- Find mistakes in open merge requests.
- Review, research and fix issues.
- Improve tests
- Improve documentation
- Rebase old merge requests
- Improve Cygwin and MacOS support
- etc.

@Felix Häcker Vow! I welcome everyone interested in #accessibility on #linux to read this one and a few previous iterations. Many regular contributors to @GNOME are tackling #accessibility issues these weeks.
"Many recent Intel laptops have […] a raw MIPI camera-sensor connected to the IPU6 found in recent Intel laptop chips.
[…] #Linux support for the IPU6 relies on an out of tree #kernel driver with a proprietary userspace stack […]
[…] Linaro has started a project to […] allow these cameras to work without needing proprietary software and Red Hat has joined Linaro in working on this. […]
This work is at a point now where it is ready for wider testing. […]"
I recently switched to using a unified kernel image on my laptop - a UEFI executable that includes the kernel and the initial RAM disk. It is loaded directly by the UEFI firmware, hence no boot loader is needed anymore.
I'm still resolving a few issues, but it's essentially working. For now, at least, I've decided to use dracut to generate the initramfs image, and the Arch Linux dracut-ukify package to automate creation of the unified kernel image.

Building and coordinating a team to support the GNOME project is one of the most fulfilling job I've had.
I find these are some of the biggest challenges
• Lots of people and organizations to coordinate with 🗺️
• Some projects are cans of worms 🥫🐛
• So many things to do 🏃
But it's very rewarding and everyone is brilliant and passionate.

As I'm making my own debloat script for Windows, removing a few registry things and such, I went looking in my bookmarks and found this. It still holds up
First, a quote. The fact that this has to be turned on by anyone shows just how ableist much of open source culture is. No other operating system needs this. When you turn on VoiceOver on a Mac, you can access every accessible program. When you turn on Narrator or NvDA on Windows, you can access every accessible program. When you turn on ChromeVox on a ChromeBook, you can access every accessible program. It’s only on Linux, where you have to check a box to enable accessibility.
