## Source excerpt

The end is near! The end of June at least, and that means it is time for our monthly recap of what has happened. Monthly dev meeting Many mobian devs came together on the first Saturday of June. Topics of the meeting included: moving repositories to salsa: everything from mobian/packages, around 60 repos in total; planning continues, security considerations (access to ssh/signing keys etc needs to be considered); we still need to decide on a switch-over date. Matrix room upgrade: We need to upgrade our #mobian room to a newer version, as the old one is not compatible with the latest matrix servers anymore.

In Mobian remaining: calamares-extensions 1.2.1-1 and calamares-settings-mobian 0.2.3 Mobian, now with even more DDs! No, DD is not shorthand for Donald Duck, it stands for "Debian Developer" which is a formal status, requiring sponsors and a (usually) lengthy process. We have quite a few DDs in our own (informal) ranks, but Mobian's founder @a-wai has now also become one. Congrats Arnaud, and way to go! gnome-text-exitor, now more mobile friendly We have added patches to make gnome-text-editor more mobile friendly, by wrapping labels on narrow screens in the top bar. Patches have been sent to upstream too. PinePhone Keyboard The PinePhone keyboard driver in the 5.15-sunxi64 kernel has been fixed, allowing bo
