The @GIMP project got a very cute fan mail through actual post 💌, with a donation.

We would love to share a scan, but it's not cool to share private messages without consent, so we won't. It is though very heart-warming! 🥰

We have had some at #ZeMarmot too across the years, and actual fan mail, and even more when it's through physical letters, is always extremely cool to receive! 🤗

This week, you get the #Linux and #OpenSource News earlier, because I have yet another #Warhammer tournament to get to tomorrow!

In this one, we talk about the age verification law thing, KDE dropping X11 sooner than expected, and Graphene OS getting a new hardware partner!

Do you own or manage the #OpenSource solution or a catalogue?

Don't forget to join the webinar tomorrow to learn how you can take part in the EU Open Source Solutions Catalogue – a centralised repository designed to promote transparency, reuse, and cooperation among public administrations across Europe.

Hear success stories on onboarding national catalogues and individual solutions into the EU Catalogue.

Open source makes the world go around!

In honor of FOSS month, our SIGs wanted to thank the projects we're relying on most.

There are a ton, so please join us as we celebrate them all! 🙌
