Week 929

Hello! 👋

These are a bit late and cover the past two weeks so I’m going to keep them brief.

• We were lower on the ground during week 928 due to half term but were back to full strength in week 929.

• Most of our time was spent working on Mavis as is the norm.

• I enjoyed pairing/mobbing on a tricky problem with Chris and James for a day or so. We’ve yet again fallen out of the habit of doing this and so it was a good reminder of how much I like it.

• Our migration from 1Password to Bitwarden is now complete. As far as I can tell Bitwarden is at feature parity to 1Password (for at least the things I need) but it doesn’t feel quite as polished.

• I’ve updated my desktop machine to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. I took the opportunity to reinstall from scratch and enable full disk encryption at the same time.

• We’ve continued to have a number of bizdev conversations. Thanks again to Chris for leading on these.

• We’ve switched our group income protection and critical illness insurance to Zurich as recommended by Drewberry.

• We’re really pleased to see that the work we helped with to get Scratch into the RPF Code Editor is now live! Congratulations to everyone involved.

• We happily increased our Solidfund contributions to support their great work.

Until next time.

– Chris
