The first ever Fedora
\nAppreciation Week<\/a> will run November 5th to the 11th.
\nThis week-long event takes place during the 15th anniversary of the Fedora
\nProject and was organized by the Fedora Community Operations team to “to
\ncelebrate efforts of Fedora Project contributors and to say ‘thank you’
\nto each other.” Go here<\/a>
\nto see how to participate.<\/p>\n

The Qt Company announced the deprecation of Qbs<\/a>. The last Qbs release will come out in April 2019, and the company intends to improve support for CMake significantly and eventually switch to CMake for building Qt itself.<\/p>\n

The D language front end has finally merged with GCC 9. According to Phoronix<\/a>,
\n“The code is merged for GDC including the libphobos library (D run-time
\nlibrary) and D2 test suite. Adding the D support touches more than three
\nthousand files (most of which is test suite cases) and 859,714 lines of
\ncode….Yes, the better part of a million new lines.”<\/p>\n

A security bug was discovered in systemd last week that can crash a Linux
\nmachine or execute malicious code. The
\nRegister reports<\/a> that the “maliciously crafted DHCPv6 packets can try to
\nexploit the programming cockup and arbitrarily change parts of memory in
\nvulnerable systems, leading to potential code execution. This code could
\ninstall malware, spyware, and other nasties, if successful”. The vulnerability
\nis in the DHCPv6 client of the systemd management suite.<\/p>\n

And finally, you’ve likely already heard that IBM yesterday
\nannounced its acquisition of Red Hat for $34 billion<\/a>. Interesting note: Bob
\nYoung, founder of Red Hat, was Linux Journal<\/em>‘s first editor in chief.<\/p>\n
