| [[JonMccann|William Jon McCann]] has been working<ref>http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2010/01/31/taking-notice/</ref> to unify the various "micro-forks" of <tt>libnotify</tt> and <tt>notification-daemon</tt> by developing a single specification that everyone can work against: "Everyone on the planet that was shipping libnotify and notification-daemon shipped them with a different set of patches. This meant we had lots of different micro-forks of both the implementation and specification. We even had a hard time agreeing on the version numbers for the specification. Version 0.10 happened after version 1.0 was published." | | [[DaveMalcolm|Dave Malcolm]] extended<ref>http://dmalcolm.livejournal.com/4545.html</ref> GDB to handle debugging of Python internals by using the embedded Python interpreter to pretty-print python innards. |

"As skeptical as I am about such a document being ever officially accepted (there are so many interests and such powerful lobbyists...) I couldn't stop promoting it further. The Open Clip Art Library is an excellent use case for PD, the manifesto is all about we are doing there."

| [[JanWildeboer|Jan Wildeboer]] responded<ref>http://jan.wildeboer.net/2010/02/is-google-forking-the-linux-kernel/</ref> to some recent news about Android's Linux Kernel patches being removed. "Now adding new features to the kernel is quite OK. If the changes are sound, stable and help Linux in general, the kernel community will gladly accept such changes upstream. I was sure Google was well aware of this process and according to their promises, I was also sure that they clearly understood that Upstream Is King. This seems to be wrong. It is up to Google to fix this problem. Google hackers should make sure this situation is solved for the best of upstream ASAP."

| [[JoshBressers|Josh Bressers]] reminded<ref>http://www.bress.net/blog/archives/177-Password-Security.html</ref> everyone that password security should be on everyone's mind, especially in the wake of a number of Twitter account compromises. "If you're like most people, and use a couple of passwords everywhere, please stop doing that. Find a good password generating tool, and either use a piece of paper or something like password safe to store them. The other big advantage to using not your brain to store passwords, is that it's much easier to change them. How many of you have been using the same password for five years, because it's too annoying to think up a new good password? Lots of us do that, it's hard to change."

"This is a handbook for creating and nurturing communities of contributors. It was originally thought of as a cookbook to provide recipes for enacting community the open source way."
