GLXVND Support Lands In Git For X.Org Server 1.20
There's been a lot of activity in xorg-server Git the past few days, making it look like the developers may be trying to wrap up the very long X.Org Server 1.20 cycle. The latest major feature work landing is GLXVND.
GLXVND is the feature work spearheaded last year by NVIDIA for what is effectively "server-side GLVND", or taking their OpenGL Vendor Neutral Dispatch Library approach from the user-space OpenGL drivers and applying the same concept to allowing multiple GLX modules to happily co-exist on the same running X.Org Server.

‘Like a phoenix from the ashes’ – Nokia’s brand value jumped a whopping 70% last year [Ed: Maybe because they got rid of Microsoft and Windows]
Anderson credits Nokia's rise in value to its two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, there's the core Networks business – which, despite a recent slowdown, has done well and could see a boost from ensuing 5G rollouts – and, on the other, the company's lucrative and fast-growing tech licensing operation.
[...]
Nokia Technologies, the company's patent licensing business, has become a major revenue source for Nokia, which has even turned to third party litigation specialists to help secure a portfolio of patents dating back to the company's heyday (Nokia ranked 9th on Brand Finance's list in 2008).

F-Droid: an alternative to Google Play
It is important to talk about Android at Linux conferences like linux.conf.au, Peter Serwylo said to start his talk. Android is deployed on millions or billions of devices, but it does suffer from some problems that F-Droid, an alternative Android app store, tries to address. The title of his talk noted that F-Droid is private, secure, free, and open, all of which are desirable traits for many in our community.
Serwylo got interested in Android because it was running on the first smart device he ever owned. He chose Android because he was getting interested in free software and recognized that Android was a well-supported version of Linux that was available on lots of different devices. But he found that the Android experience was not quite the "Linux experience that you are used to".
