After my last post a few things have happened. First, I want to thank all of you for your support, monetary and moral. The open source community is amazing and I love being a part of it. We are surviving thanks to all of you. Despite my failed interview, a new door has opened up and I am happy to announce that Canonical is funding me to work part time for a period of 3 months on KDE Snaps! While not the full time role I was hoping for, I’ll take it, and who knows, maybe they will see just how awesome I am! 🙂 I started back to work on these last Tuesday. So far I have made good progress and even have a working Core22 snap! Work done on upstream snapcraft ( tool used to make snaps ): New content pack version, fixed an issue with snapcraft remote-build choking on part with /sdk, fixed regex as our naming scheme has changed: https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/pull/4069 Ran into a new bug with snapcraft expand-extensions and so I must now enter all of this information manually into snapcraft.yaml until fixed, bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/2011719 And without further ado, our first core22 snap is Dragonplayer Version 22.12.3 available in the snap store. Many more coming soon! With a new month upon us, I must ask for help again, I will not see any money for this work until next month. Please consider a dontation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. https://gofund.me/c9cc02ed
