Are you someone who has a simple fix for something in the Linux kernel, but haven't bothered submitting a patch because you find the email workflow daunting? Can be a bugfix, spelling correction, anything at all.

If so, I want to talk to you! I have tools that simplify this process quite a bit, but I need more feedback from people who aren't long-term Linux maintainers.

Please reach out, either via here or by emailing mricon@kernel.org.

> This time the turnout was 63%, with 98% of those backing strike action, marking the first time Amazon workers in the UK have voted to do so.

We've just released Ardour 7.2. Not many big new features this time, but it's a nice balance between bug fixes and various improvements.

You can now use MIDI Learn for trigger slots, easily discover Ardour in TouchOSC, import and export Opus files, import MIDI Lyrics.

There have also been UX improvements, notably in the region bouncing feature.

Oh, and we've eliminated a lot of crashes when editing the tempo map!
