Daily AcreetionOS Update - August 08, 2026

Dear AcreetionOS Community,

We are excited to share the latest news and updates from the AcreetionOS project. Our community continues to grow, and we are grateful for the contributions of our developers, maintainers, and users. In this newsletter, we will highlight some of the recent developments and achievements.

Firstly, we would like to announce that the Software Stewardship Lab has launched, a nonprofit organization based in Scotland that aims to promote software stewardship and responsible software development practices. This initiative aligns with our values of transparency, accountability, and community involvement.

In the realm of software development, we have seen significant progress in the past week. The LightDM display manager has released version 1.33.0, which brings various improvements and bug fixes. Additionally, the stable kernel releases for Friday included a single bug fix, ensuring the stability and security of our system.

Our community has been actively working on resolving conflicts and issues. The merge branch 'repair' has been updated to fix the geocode-glib update conflict, and the fix has been applied to installed systems. These efforts demonstrate the collaborative spirit and dedication of our community members.

We are also pleased to announce that the AcreetionOS GitLab instance is now live, providing a platform for our community to collaborate, share ideas, and work together on projects. We invite you to explore the instance and contribute to the development of AcreetionOS.

In terms of development, we have seen several commits and updates in the past week. Cobra3282000 has made significant contributions, including merging the 'repair' branch and fixing geocode-glib update conflicts. Natalie has also made progress, publishing ISOs to the public server over SSH and making changes to the package build to fix errors with glib geo stuff.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all community members who have contributed to the project. Your efforts are invaluable, and we appreciate your dedication to AcreetionOS.

As we move forward, we will continue to prioritize transparency, accountability, and community involvement. We encourage you to participate in the development process, provide feedback, and share your ideas. Your input is essential to shaping the future of AcreetionOS.

In conclusion, we are excited about the progress made in the past week and look forward to the future developments. Thank you for being part of the AcreetionOS community, and we wish you a great day!

Best regards, Natalie Cole-Clift Spiva & Darren Clift
