LTS report for September 2021

["Jeremiah C. Foster" <jeremiah@freexian.com>]

Hi,

Here are my Free Software activities for September.

September was spent working on a Freexian funded project and other 
administrative duties. The funded project seems quite important to Free 
Software as it essentially removes dependency on a build tool that can't 
be used in Debian. Other attempts have been made to remove the 
dependency and I hope this funded project is successful. There's a bit 
of work to do to get the project ready - a set of questions then 
preparation of a bid which will be used to find someone to work on the 
project.

- Worked on the funding page for the Enterprise gradle project
- Moved project from proposed to accepted, coordinating questions on 
the way.
- Prepared the bid page with help from Phil Morrel.
- Ran the monthly LTS meeting on IRC
- Email, IRC, and now Matrix/Element communication. Work like preparing 
minutes, agenda and reports.
- Did some source code diving in some of the LTS tools.

Regards,

Jeremiah
