Wow, a combination of "lots of people got new hardware as Christmas presents" and "first day back at work, so apply all the firmware updates"... The #LVFS is running at 3x compared to the last week. :)

I'm also happy to announce we've got a new sponsor for the LVFS: #Framework Although there are about a half a dozen OEMs that have promised to sponsor LVFS, Framework is the first to have actually signed the paperwork. You can see the new logo on

LVFS: Home

and also the new "sponsorship pill" on various vendor pages like

I've just pushed the button and moved the #fwupd translations from Transifex to @npub1ek6f...5ckw We're planning a new release in a few days and it would be *wonderful* to get the translations looking beautiful before that. Thank you all my clever 2nd, 3rd and 4th language friends! All the new functionality is available here:

Does anyone want to help out with an important open source project like #fwupd? We're always short of reviewers to look at patches and provide comments -- and from personal experience -- reviewing other peoples code is a great way to pick up tips and tricks and make yourself a better programmer. If this sounds interesting, and a potential first step on an open source adventure let me know. Some of the PRs are simple and you don't need to be any kind of code wizard.
