A short reminder that, starting tomorrow (2024-11-06), there will be a row of maintenance windows at our main service provider. Hopefully you won't notice any of them – and regarding our F-Droid repo, our mirrors will have you covered. Just the web server might (shortly) be unavailable.

If you want to keep an eye yourself, be welcome to visit our monitor at monitor.izzysoft.de/

Ui-wooo! Hetzner is one week late with their Halloween "prank": 3 maintenance windows in a row, November 6, 7 and 8. We hopefully won't be affected for the full time (they wrote "just a few minutes") but of course cannot tell *exactly* when. So some time within those windows.

Again, only the primary servers are affected. Our mirrors will still be available to you for app updates and installs.

New blog post: harihareswara.net/posts/2023/s… Set Contributor Expectations To Reduce Ghosting

It's frustrating when a new #opensource contributor vanishes. You can reduce how frequently that happens:
* Understand why they ghost
* Articulate your vision
* Set expectations in the contributors' guide, & in auto-replies/boilerplate replies
* Prioritize quick first-level reviews
* Follow up with "resources if you're stuck" checkins
* Build safeguards against cookie-licking
