I’m no longer employed by Red Hat.

As a result, any projects I maintained there as part of that employment should no longer be considered maintained by me, whether in that former capacity or otherwise.

Because those projects were solely maintained by me, they may now fall into an unmaintained state unless other community members step in. I am not available to maintain, review, or support them in any capacity for the foreseeable future.

Mid-life transitions

The past few months have been heavy for many people in the United States, especially families navigating uncertainty about safety, stability, and belonging.

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

I started a thread on the GNOME forum about the state of #vala maintenance. I don't have the answers, but let's discuss & figure out as a community what we can do to make sure that Vala is sustainable and can keep moving forward

Let's move Vala forward

We in the Vala community love the language, but we are concerned about the lack of progress, and in particular our inability to get changes (fixes) into Vala.

You might argue that as a prog...
