GNOME 46 and Beyond
With GNOME 46.2 released, it seems like a good time to write a post about goings on in GNOME Online Accounts and other STF-funded initiatives. There's a lot to be excited about this cycle and most of it is leading to more improvements in the near future.
GNOME Online Account and the STF
One of our goals for the <a href="https://foundation.gnome.org/2023/11/09/gnome-recognized-as-public-interest-infrastructure/">Sovereign Tech Fund</a> is to modernize platform infrastructure, in line with the mission to support security and resilience in open source software. For GNOME Online Accounts, this meant tightening up the code base and shifting focus to prioritize open protocols.
Mentoring in Open Source
This year, I was invited by Sonny Piers to be a co-mentor for the GNOME Foundation, working on platform demos for Workbench. I already contribute a lot of entry-level documentation and help a lot of contributors, so this felt like a good step in a direction I've been heading for a while.
