                                                                        If you work on AlmaLinux underneath VFX or any Media and Entertainment animation, rendering, or simulation pipelines, we want to hear from you! That includes pipeline engineers, studio sysadmins, render farm folks, cloud and DevOps people, security pros, students, freelancers, and open source contributors.

                                                                        A few talk ideas to get you started:

                                                                        * Anything you wish you hadn't had to learn on your own (I promise, this is one of the best approaches)

                                                                        * Studio case studies: migrating a pipeline to AlmaLinux, or scaling one on it

                                                                        * NVIDIA and AMD GPU driver integration, tuning, and the parts that hurt

                                                                        * Workstation optimization for Houdini, Nuke, Maya, Blender, Resolve, and friends

                                                                        * USD, OpenColorIO, OpenEXR, MaterialX in real production

                                                                        * ML and AI workloads sharing a render farm with traditional VFX

                                                                        * Pipeline tooling, containers, and reproducible builds for artists

                                                                        * Teaching Linux to artists, and artists to Linux

                                                                        Highly visual talks are encouraged.

                                                                        We're right next to SIGGRAPH, so lean into the diagrams, workflow walkthroughs, and live demos.

While built with the MISP ecosystem in mind, Flowintel is a versatile tool that can be used by anyone as a standalone platform, as it functions effectively even without a MISP integration.

                                                                              Here are some changes made in the release:

                                                                              - New Alerting Engine: Support for Webhooks and IMAP to automate notifications and improve team responsiveness.
                                                                              - Audit Log Dashboard: A dedicated interface for activity tracking, peak analysis, and compliance exporting.
                                                                              - Enterprise SSO: Expanded support for Keycloak and Entra ID for secure, automated user provisioning.
                                                                              - Optimized Performance: Transitioned to uv and bun for faster dependency management and more reliable deployments.

                                                                                I've been talking before why money won't solve the burnout problem. But let's for a minute assume that you really wanted to help people maintaining by paying them. The problem is that:

                                                                                1. You have to pay them a living wage.

                                                                                While all monetary help is appreciated by developers, they need a living wage. Not "that should prevent you from starving to death" but the kind of money that can support a honest (but not lavish) lifestyle: pay the bills, feed your family, cover other living costs such as repairs, clothes, appliances, and let you save enough for future emergencies.

                                                                                It's simple as that. If you can't do that, they're going to need a dayjob. If they're lucky, it won't collide with their work. If they're not, it will kill them. Or they'll fall somewhere in the middle, slowly burning out until they can neither maintain their projects, nor work.

                                                                                2. You need to guarantee that the payouts will continue.

                                                                                People need security. They're not going to stay unemployed, let alone quit their job or turn down a job offer, unless they either have good guaranties or substantial savings (or they're in a really bad shape and wouldn't be able to handle the job anyway). The job market is hell, and people just know that when the payments stop, they may not be able to find a job soon, let alone a good job. Even "passively" looking for a job can burn you out.

                                                                                So yeah, one-off payments and pinky swears won't do. And it isn't even a matter of whether we can trust you; it's a matter if you'll actually be able to continue paying us. And honestly, I don't really know how to solve that. Perhaps by paying up front, but for how long? Finding a job may take more than a year, finding a good job may be once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

                                                                                3. It can't end up being a job.

                                                                                Perhaps most difficult of all, these payments can't really come with explicit obligations. I mean, that's the whole point: you want to support FLOSS, not turn it into a corporate project. You want the maintainer to remain free and enjoy the work. That is unlikely to happen if their livelihood is now dependent on your satisfaction. And even if it isn't, I for example would still feel indebted to whoever's paying me to do FLOSS, even if they really didn't expect anything in return, and would fall into a spiral of guilt-inflicted burnout if I failed to maintain the software satisfactorily.

FediSuite soll bewusst unabhängiger von großen US-Tech-Konzernen werden. GitHub gehört Microsoft und läuft auf US-Infrastruktur – mit Blick auf den US CLOUD Act und digitale Souveränität wirft das berechtigte Fragen auf. Codeberg wird von einem deutschen gemeinnützigen Verein betrieben und passt deutlich besser zu einem Projekt, das auf Self-Hosting, Unabhängigkeit und europäische Infrastruktur setzt.

To go along with this, I'd like to release some kind of training utility to make the process a little less scary for people who don't code regularly. Is this something you would be interested in?

Honestly I think the main issue will be data collection, I have absolutely no interest in scraping from the web or using unlicensed data to train like many of these other open source TTS projects.
