Google announces 2024 season of docs
On February 2, Google announced this year's "Season of Docs", a program complementing its Summer of Code program by providing funding to open source projects to hire technical writers to improve their documentation. Interested projects have until April 2 to apply.

Kernel core dumps are complex. They are not simply copies of system memory; they contain plenty of extra metadata which is critical to understanding their contents. And like any other type of data, the design of the file formats can enable lots of flexibility and power. However, due to the broad variety of tools out there, the diversity of dump formats is overwhelming, and the lack of documentation or specifications compounds the problem.
A new CEO for Mozilla
We’re at a critical juncture where public trust in institutions, governments, and the fabric of the internet has reached unprecedented lows. There’s a tectonic shift underway as everyone battles to own the future of AI. It is Mozilla’s opportunity and imperative to forge a better future. I’m excited about Laura’s day-to-day involvement and the chance for Mozilla to achieve more. Our power lies in the collective effort of people contributing to something better and I’m eager for Mozilla to meet the needs of this era more fully.

Please welcome Joe Brockmeier to LWN
While "hire them all" was an attractive idea, it was not one that our budget would support. We did conclude, however, that we could stretch to a second hire. So we are pleased to announce that the opportunity to bring Joe Brockmeier on board was too good to pass up — so we didn't. You will start to see his work return to LWN within the next few days.
