Every time I see a post about changelogs (sorry Behdad, nothing personal), I die a little bit inside.

There are three problems here:

• In any merge, you always collide horribly on the ChangeLog, and it just makes working with more than one person and/or branch nigh on impossible, so you lose all the benefits of an RCS that actually supports merging.
• git gives you a system with very lightweight microcommits: in your local tree, you can easily amend, rebase, modify, and walk back, before you push. So, instead of queuing up ten million things such that you need a complicated changelog, do lots of little, relatively self-explanatory commits.
• Even when you have complicated commits that require explanation (e.g.), just make the commit log sufficiently verbose, so that git blame, gitweb, and any other tool, can offer people the full context, rather than making them dive into an unrelated file and remember the exact date, etc. In X, we just generate ChangeLog from git log, and we're really happy with that so far.

Matthew Tippett just threw a CD full of AMD/ATI specs to Dave Airlie, approved for public release with no NDA. I'm now holding one of those CDs as well. Thanks, AMD.

In the past five hours, we've pushed 72,000 PDFs, for a total of around 1TB. This ... turns out to actually push the limits of our new fd.o setup.

I'm sitting here at XDS, and John Bridgman and Matthew Tippett are announcing AMD's open source plans. In three words: 'specifications without NDA'. 2D very soon, 3D coming when the legal issues have been taken care of. Specs for the r3xx core will probably be coming later on down the track.

I don't need to say how awesome this is.

I honestly don't understand how Firefox could consume 1.5GB of RAM, as well as 1.4GB of pixmap storage in the X server. This is a new record. (And the pixmap storage rose to 1.7GB before I killed it.)
