borders ###

Mauro Gaspari writes about the Ubuntu Summit 25.10. Mauro gives us a brief
comparison between the in-person events of the past, and what happened at
this online summit, featuring Lorenzo’s Music, Sylvia Ritter’s artwork, and
"audacious talks". This year's Summit was presented as extended events held
all around the globe. A number of photos are shown, a brief glimpse is
given of some of the talks, before a thank you is given to everyone who was
involved. The post closes with mention of the coming Ubuntu Summit 26.04,
giving us a link to submit a talk proposal.

### Ubuntu Portugal Podcast: Episode 370 - Insanus IanuariusEpisode ###

“Qual é o pior que pode acontecer para começar o ano, quando juntamos o
David Negreira, Tiago Carrondo, Miguel e Diogo Constantino? Deboche total,
pois claro, num podcast sobre carros eléctricos, baterias, painéis solares,
Home Assistant e outras cenas. No meio do caos e confusão conseguimos falar
brevemente de aventuras tecnológicas, teclados com luzes LGBT,
osciloscópios de meter na língua, intelijumência artificial local para
escrever código, discos IDE cheios de pó, a merdificação geral da Internet,
financeirização da economia e mais além.”
