The LVFS is ending the free ride for hardware vendors by requiring contributions to keep the service sustainable and high quality. AMD finally pushed HDMI 2.1 patches to the kernel, likely a move to prepare for upcoming Steam Machines. There is a new ~/Projects directory standard arriving in xdg-user-dirs to help organize code and hardware designs. Finally, Focusrite is working with Linux developers to ensure day one support for the ISA C8X audio interface.
