Status Report - Weeks 26 & 27 2025

This update combines two weeks since I was mostly on vacation.

Real life

The first week started with Anton's school being closed for 3 days because of the NATO Summit in The Hague. At the end of the event, the organizers allowed the public to visit the premises (and we did); it was interesting to see the various meeting / conference / 1:1 rooms, all in a temporary building that was literally built ON the boulevard for the occasion.

At the end of the week, I traveled to Paris to attend the Top 14 (French top rugby championship) finale between Stade Toulousain ("my" team) and Union Bordeaux Bègles with my kids.

Before picking up Lyla at the station, Anton and I visited the Arc de Triomphe (first time for both of us) and enjoyed the great 360 degree view on the city

The rugby game was outstanding: both teams played really well, and the regular 80 minutes were not enough to decide on a winner: for the first time in years, a 20 minute overtime was required! And since Toulouse eventually won, we were super happy \o/

In the second week, Lyla went back to her friend's and Anton, Nathalie and I went on a camping trip in Normandy, with a destination in Clermont-Ferrand for my sister-in-law's birthday party.

Staying relatively up North allowed us to escape the big heatwave over France, and we visited the American Military Cemetary - a great way to remember the sacrifices of the young soldiers who came to defeat the Nazis.

I barely read anything, and did ZERO running :-/

Open source

I almost did nothing "work wise", except for a small simplification in aerc.

On the SourceHut front, my patch allowing patch submitter to withdraw or update their own patches was finally deployed \o/
