Sourceware infrastructure community updates for Q4 2025

  Keep Sourceware worry-free, friendly and independent by supporting
  our fiscal sponser. Your contribution counts double the next 3 days!

  https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/#YearInReview

  See under "Highlights From Our Member Projects" how the Software
  Freedom Conservancy has helped Sourceware (and others) this year.

Every quarter we provide a summary of news about Sourceware and
roadmap updates https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html

  - More and bigger hardware
  - Open forge registration
  - Sourceware @ Fosdem
  - Signed-commit census leaderboard
  - Sourceware Organization, Contact and Open Office hours

= More and bigger hardware

  On Friday 28 November various sourceware.org, cygwin.com,
  gcc.gnu.org, dwarfstd.org, elfutils.org and valgrind.org services
  were moved on a new (bigger) VM-first server in a new datacenter.

  The current migration of services to a new datacenter onto a bigger
  server is part of a larger effort to upgrade the Sourceware
  hardware, services and security isolation. The Sourceware Project
  Leadership Committee has been working closely together with the
  overseers, Software Freedom Conservancy, FSF sysadmins, Red Hat IT
  (https://osci.io) and OSUOSL over the last couple of months
  extending the number of servers and migrating servers to new
  datacenters, with more to come in 2026.

  In the new year OSUOSL will replace our two smaller x86_64 container
  builders sourceware-builder1 and sourceware-builder2 machines with a
  larger sourceware-builder3 (2x28 core, 112 thread, 768GB RAM)
  machine which will be used for buildbot builders and forgejo action
  runners to make it possible to do full bootrap checks.

  https://sourceware.org/sourceware-wiki/OpenHouse2025

= Open forge registration

  One issue with forge.sourceware.org was that you already needed to
  have an Sourceware account. This has been fixed. Anybody can
  register an account on the forge now. But a newly registered user
  will have to be added to the Contributors Team by an Owner or Admin
  of the org or repo before they can see, fork, create merge requests
  and run actions. More projects now have more action runners.

= Sourceware @ Fosdem

  Various Sourceware projects will be present at Fosdem plus some
  overseers and of course Conservancy staff.

  Sourceware itself will share a stand with the Software Freedom
  Conservancy. We will again have stickers available! Please contact
  Mark if you like to provide hosted project stickers or other goodies
  to share.

  Various projects will present in the GCC (GNU Toolchain) devroom
  https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/gcc-gnu-toolchain/
  RISC-V, DWARF6, Fibers, Algol68, libgomp, Static Analyzer. But also
  valgrind for BSD and binutils and newlib for retrocomputing devrooms.
