For most of this year, @zwol and I have been working on a pretty ambitious project:
* to make a fresh release of GNU Autoconf, a crucial #FLOSS build tool that hadn't had a new release since 2012
* to get paid for that

Autoconf 2.70 is due out next month, and you can read my fresh LWN story about the rejuvenation & what's next:

Instance is running in testing mode and will die someday. Let this post federate further so the history will never be forgotten. :)
