Hello all!
This week has once again seen a primary focus on the specifications for
Horizon, and work on APK Foundry. There have been some other
interesting developments as well.

Horizon
=======
Specification work on Horizon continues to be done, with an emphasis on
the disk partitioning portion of the system. Discussions about a syntax
for having comments in a HorizonScript were also had.
APK Foundry
===========
Max Rees (sroracle@) continues to work hard on the finishing touches of
APK Foundry. They have now successfully run AF jobs on four Tier 1
architectures.
musl
====
Dan Theisen (djt@) has been working on implementing the <fstab.h> APIs
in musl. This will allow us to package software like K3b and filelight.
General discussion
==================
Our community has graciously sent in some hardware donations this week.
An Apple Radeon 9200 was sent in to investigate some issues with
display on some models of eMac G4 and Mac mini. A new NVMe device for
the PPC64 builder was donated after the existing NVMe device was
destroyed by a freak accident[1]. More memory for the PPC64 builder has
also been donated. We thank our community very much for these generous
donations!
We are still in need of some monetary donations to make it through
October. If you have a bit to spare and want to show your support for
the work we're doing to provide high-quality libre software to everyone,
please consider contributing. You can find out how on our Contribution
page at < https://www.adelielinux.org/contribute.html >.
All of my best to you and yours,
