> https://eu-os.gitlab.io proposes to develop together a Community-led Proof-of-Concept for a free/libre replacement of Windows. Follow us on Mastodon and join the Matrix chat at https://matrix.to/#/#eu-os:kde.org to receive updates and help.

Per https://matrix.to/#/!sWpnrYUMmaBrlqfRdn:matrix.org/$xga3TYyV...

> T&S staffing alone is about $360k/yr, and server and SRE costs about $240k/yr

And per https://matrix.to/#/!sWpnrYUMmaBrlqfRdn:matrix.org/$pupglsTX...

> There's a rough cost breakdown available to the Governing Board right now in Discourse, which we'll be polishing and publishing after our first Finance and Fundraising Committee meeting

So the financial report is finally coming together.

We have quite a handful of volunteers and a strong community that is helping us a lot already. But some things cannot be offloaded to volunteers (typically T&S and the SRE team running the matrix.org homeserver).

Can you expand on your doubts for the ability to execute? The Foundation has a narrow set of programs on purpose. Most of the budget is going to matrix.or and keeping it safe (which is a lot of invisible and thankless work).

4. Andrew asked in the Matrix chat[2], received a recommendation, implemented that recommendation, and updated the review as such

The Fedora Engineering Steering Committee characterized Andrew's actions as "it appears they stopped reading as soon as someone who sounded authoritative gave them what they want", but as far as I can tell the "authorative" sounding reply was the only reply Andrew had gotten until after the package had been pushed.

May be fair to say Andrew should have given it more than the ~16 hours to wait on the Matrix chat members to respond, but I feel majority of the issue is with Fedora project making it a confusing mess to navigate who needs to be contacted and give approval.

> If nobody responds in a week, it can safely be assumed that they don't take security seriously, and the responsible thing is to let the community know.

That's an if that did not happen:

> Eelco is working on it, there's a patch on the GitHub advisory, we plan to get it out on Monday, but no promises yet if everything will get done by then

Wow best of luck. Do share us your progress.

I occasionally hear such drama from the NixOS community, but I actively try to not learn to much about it. I'm just enjoying NixOS (installed it from an ISO and have been productive on my laptop since day one, grdually learning about the tech behind Nix(OS)). I hope they figure themselves out. My experiences with the community have been very positive so far, I'd hate to see some minority mess it up so much.

I find the coverage on Nix from Jupiter Broadcasting [0] to be quite balanced, I also really enjoy their Nix Nerds Matrix channel, there are a lot of friendly Nix supporters in there [1].

Running a swap provider is still relatively complex. If you really want to you can follow the instructions in this document https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/asb/README.md

Why would you use a custodial (and trustful) mixer rather than atomic swaps to and from Monero [0]? Maybe the NK hackers don't need real privacy?

I'm down to contribute but not when basic functionality bugs are not fixed after the report was made 10 months ago!
