    One more 3.14 prepatch
    Linus has announced the 3.14-rc8 kernel
    prepatch. "I delayed things a day from my normal schedule, hoping
    I'd feel more comfortable doing a 3.14 release, but that was not to be. So
    here's an rc8, and I expect to do the final 3.14 release next
    weekend.

    GNOME 3.12 Seeded by GNOME OS Projects (Linux.com)
    Linux.com has an interview
    with Allan Day and Matthias Clasen
    about GNOME 3.12 and the various
    projects that form GNOME OS. "Matthias: Continuous testing is being used in the GNOME project as we speak, and it is helping us every day to raise the quality of our code. Automatic builds are triggered after every commit, and a plethora of unit and integration tests are run on the resulting VM images. You can also download a VM image to run locally. Our continuous testing framework is based on OSTree, which describes itself as "Git for operating systems." It allows bootable, immutable, operating systems to be installed in parallel. OSTree is being used in a variety of interesting ways, such as in the Fedora Atomic initiative."
