    Eben Moglen on GPL Compliance and Building Communities: What Works (Linux.com)
    Linux.com has a
    transcript of Eben Moglen's talk
    in New York on October 28.
    "I have some fine clients and wonderful friends in this movement who
    have been getting rather angry recently. There is a lot of anger in the
    world, in fact, in politics. Our political movement is not the only one
    suffering from anger at the moment. But some of my angry friends, dear
    friends, friends I really care for, have come to the conclusion that
    they’re on a jihad for free software. And I will say this after decades of
    work—whatever else will be the drawbacks in other areas of life—the problem
    in our neighborhood is that jihad does not scale.
    "
    There is a video of the talk available as well.
    11:04p
    Mesa 13.0.0 released
    The Mesa project has announced version 13.0.0 of the 3D graphics library that provides an open-source implementation of OpenGL. "This release has huge amount of features, but without a doubt the biggest
    ones are:
    Vulkan driver for hardware supported by the AMDGPU kernel driver [and]
    OpenGL 4.4/4.5 capability, yet the drivers may expose lower version due to
    pending Khronos CTS validation.
    "
