Hey everyone Does anyone know of any web developers or does anyone have any web dev skills? We're looking for someone to help us maintain the site and the forum so that we can stay up to date with upgrades etc. This is a paid gig :). Thanks M

I think the real answe to that question is because we're all a bunch of slackers and need to be poked to make it happen! Consider me sufficiently poked, I'll get it up today.

Hey. We have added an overall rss feed, but the activity streams: https://forums.odforce.net/discover/ Do have rss feeds attached.

Hey all There seems to be an uptick of spammy sales threads happening these days. Part of it might be that the forum software is fairly out of date. Because of that, we'll be updating the forum at some point in the next few weeks. Just a heads up that it might be down for a short time while we backup and run the update. Also while we're here, we're always looking for more mods to help manage the content on the forum. If you think managing a community sounds like a fun thing, then please let me know and we can discuss. Thanks M

Things move quickly: https://news.itsfoss.com/rocky-linux-announcement/ I loll'ed at this:

Yeah I scoured the net some more after that post. I'm with symek, this is just bad news all round. Anyone who moves to Oracle will likely regret that decision and/or get what they deserve depending on how naive they are going in . I guess the real question is what will Autodesk do, the reason why most vfx studios are on Cent/RHEL is because that's pretty much the only distro AD supports. https://centos.rip/
