  25 years of Postfix
  
  Wietse Venema posted a note to the postfix-users mailing list about the 25th anniversary of the Postfix mail server. As can be seen, it had a pivotal role in bringing more awareness of open-source software to IBM. Beyond that, of course, it is an excellent piece of software in its own right. As a few on this list may recall, it is 25 years ago today that the "IBM secure mailer" had its public beta release. This was accompanied by a nice article in the New York Times business section.

  Incus 0.1 released
  
  The Linux Containers project has announced the release version 0.1 of the Incus system container and virtual-machine manager, which is a community-led fork of Canonical's LXD. Incus 0.1 "is roughly equivalent to LXD 5.18 but with a number of breaking changes on top of the obvious rename". There have been some changes made in the two months since the fork: With this initial release of Incus, we took the opportunity to remove a lot of unused or problematic features from LXD. Most of those changes are things we would have liked to do in LXD but couldn’t due to having strong guarantees around backward compatibility.

  Introducing Incus
  
  The Linux Containers project has announced the addition of Incus, which is a fork of LXD 5.16 started by Aleksa Sarai. Incus was created in response to Canonical's removal of LXD from Linux Containers. After some discussion with Aleksa and a fair bit of encouragement from our community, we have made the decision to take Incus under the umbrella of Linux Containers and will commit to it the infrastructure which was previously made available to LXD.
