Several people have wished to have some more regular times to sit together and ask questions when they get stuck packaging.
So we made some time slots available.

This Weekend Sunday: 18:00 CET we will have the first session. I know this might not fit everyone but with it repeating
every week there is hopefully enough slots where people can bring issues they are having. If other times are needed we can also add them.

With merge of PR #8390 we updated lighttpd to the latest version 1.4.64 which removed support for the deprecated option **server.set-v6only**.
This option’s default was **true** in upstream since our update to version 1.4.46 but we **disabled** it with a patch to prevent breaking existing lighttpd installations.
The new update doesn’t allow to disable it anymore, meaning we break existing installs which used **server.set-v6only**.

If you’re affected, please change your lighttpd configuration to use different sockets for ipv4 and ipv6 connections.

It's not a new Logo, just one that was hidden on the old website for a long time.

With the refresh of the website we found that a bit of a birdish illumos-y look and acompanying design was in order.
In the last couple years all illumos distros have had logos and designs made with beautiful birds and colors
so we couldn't be the only one with an abstract one. Also it gives this nice personality to the project.

The bird is a mixture between a Sparrow and a Phoenix. Having a bit of both personalities.
The Sparrows playful but serious attitude but also looks small like a chick of another bigger bird. That size fits
the state of the project really well, as we are in the process of rebirth and with much effort from all Maintainers
we gain new People and have an active Update stream. The rejuvination is also a good wish for the illumos project

of the community and hope this refresh also signifies that.

- We have added openssl-1.1.1 and many packages have been updated to make use of the newer and supported version of openssl. Alas this process isn’t finished yet as many packages don’t use it out-of-the box and a few even don’t work with its new interface.
- Work has been started to update our Python versions and the related packages. As a consequence we now have python-37 and python-39 packages. This is also an ongoing process that hasn’t been finished yet.
