This time around, we held our meeting at cégep du Vieux Montréal, the college where I currently work. Here is the view we had:

We also ordered some delicious pizzas from Pizzeria dei Compari, a nice pizzeria on Saint-Denis street that's been there forever.

Some of us ended up grabbing a drink after the event at l'Amère à boire, a pub right next to the venue, but I didn't take any pictures.

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - September 2025

2025-10-11T00:00:00-04:00

Pictures

This time again, we were hosted at La Balise (formely ATSÉ).

It's nice to see this community project continuing to improve: the social housing apartments on the top floors should be opening this month! Lots of construction work was also ongoing to make the Espace des Possibles more accessible from the street level.

Some of us ended up grabbing a drink after the event at l'Isle de Garde, a pub right next to the venue, but I didn't take any pictures.

One last Bookworm for the road — report from the Montreal 2025 BSP

2025-04-22T00:00:00-04:00

Hello, hello, hello!

This report for the Bug Squashing Party we held in Montreal on March 28-29th is very late ... but better late than never? We're now at our fifth BSP in a row¹, which is both nice and somewhat terrifying.

Have I really been around for five Debian releases already? Geez...

This year, around 13 different people showed up, including some brand new folks! All in all, we ended up working on 77 bugs, 61 of which have since been closed.

This is somewhat skewed by the large number of Lintian bugs I closed by merging and releasing the very many patches submitted by Maytham Alsudany (hello Maytham!), but that was still work :D

For our past few events, we have been renting a space at Ateliers de la transition socio-écologique. This building used to be nunnery (thus the huge cross on the top floor), but has since been transformed into a multi-faceted project.

BSPs are great and this one was no exception. You should try to join an upcoming event or to organise one if you can. It is loads of fun and you will be helping the Debian project release its next stable version sooner!

As always, thanks to Debian for granting us a budget for the food and to rent the venue.

Here are a bunch of pictures of the BSP, mixed in with some other pictures I took at this venue during a previous event.

See our previous BSPs in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023! ↩

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - December 2024

2025-01-04T00:00:00-05:00

Our Debian User Group met on December 22^nd for our last meeting of 2024. I wasn't sure at first it was a good idea, but many people showed up and it was great!

Here's what we did:

pollo:

migrated to a new Yubikey
merged a lintian MR

anarcat:

fought with the Supersonic flatpak to fix build with latest placebo (failed), but managed to update to the latest upstream
realized that keyring-pass does the inverse of what he needs, whereas pass_secret_service, which does, is poorly maintained and depends on the dead pypass library
uploaded new upstream versions of etckeeper, mdformat and python-internetarchive
improved a lintian warning
opened yet another sbuild bug
started playing with sfwbar

lelutin:

worked on the 2024 Advent of Code in Rust

lavamind:

installed Debian on an oooollld (as in, with a modem) laptop
debugged a FTBFS on jruby

tvaz:

did some simple packaging QA
added basic salsa CI and some RFA for a bunch of packages (python-midiutil, antimony, python-pyo, rakarrack, python-pyknon, soundcraft-utils, cecilia, nasty, gnome-icon-theme-nuovo, gnome-extra-iconsg, nome-subtitles, timgm6mb-soundfont)

mjeanson and joeDoe:

hanged out and did some stuff :)

Some of us ended up grabbing a drink after the event at l'Isle de Garde, a pub right next to the venue.

This time around, we were hosted by l'Espace des possibles, at their new location (they moved since our last visit). It was great! People liked the space so much we actually discussed going back there more often :)

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - November 2024

2024-11-13T00:00:00-05:00

Our Debian User Group met on November 2nd after a somewhat longer summer hiatus than normal. It was lovely to see a bunch of people again and to be able to dedicate a whole day to hacking :)

Here is what we did:

lavamind:

reproduced puppetdb FTBFS #1084038 and reported the issue upstream
uploaded a new upstream version for pgpainless (1.6.8-1)

uploaded a new lintian release (1.120.0)
worked on unblocking the revival of lintian.debian.org (many thanks to anarcat and pkern)
apparently (kindly) told people to rtfm at least 4 times :)

anarcat:

figured out he still can't figure out how to do 3D printing and should probably just delegate these prints, currently in his wishlist:
- k4vp VHF HT radio case (fits on your phone)
- (tr)uSDX HF radio (fits in your hand!)
- framework expansion card holder (fits in my bag!)
- Ortlieb QUICK-LOCK1 compatible inserts (fits on my bike?)
fixed an RC bug in python-ulid
sponsored fuzzel 1.11.1+ds-2 upload, resolving a FTBFS on non-x86 arches
tried to move the sigal packaging forward a little, failing in obscure pybuild land

LeLutin:

opened an RFS on the ruby team mailing list for the new upstream version of ruby-necromancer
worked on packaging the new upstream version of ruby-pathspec

tvaz:

did AM (Application Manager) work

tassia:

explored the Debian Jr. project (website, wiki, mailing list, salsa repositories)
played a few games for Nico's entertainment :-)
built and tested a Debian Jr. live image

Pictures

This time around, we went back to Foulab. Thanks for hosting us!

As always, the hacklab was full of interesting stuff and I took a few (bad) pictures for this blog post:

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - March 2024

2024-04-20T00:00:00-04:00

Time really flies when ~~you are really busy~~ you have fun! Our Montréal Debian User Group met on Sunday March 31st and I only just found the time to write our report :)

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - February 2024

2024-02-07T00:00:00-05:00

New Year, Same Great People! Our Debian User Group met for the first of our 2024 bi-monthly meetings on February 4th and it was loads of fun. Around twelve different people made it this time to Koumbit, where the meeting happened.

As a reminder, our meetings are called "Debian & Stuff" because we want to be as open as possible and welcome people that want to work on "other stuff" than Debian.

Here is what we did:

pollo:

tested a laptop that had a defective battery with a known good one (the problem was indeed with the battery :D)
renewed his expiring OpenPGP key
worked on removing trapperkeeper-scheduler-clojure from the DebCI reject_list
helped anarcat with packaging sigal
managed to feed most of the people present :)

LeLutin:

worked with lavamind to upload new upstream release of smokeping

mjeanson:

migrated from lxd to incus on his servers
helped anarcat with flashing his AirGradient

lavamind:

submitted a bug report on r-cran-rserve (promptly fixed/uploaded by maintainer!)
reviewed and uploaded smokeping
bug triaged the facter package
worked on puppet-agent new upstream version 8.4.0

viashimo:

updated puppet-strings from 2.9.0 to 4.2.1
reported upstream test failures on puppet-strings with recent versions of mdl

tvaz & tassia:

drafted a call & request for funding for the Vanier College FLOSS Club hardware marathon at Eastern Bloc
worked on an application to conduct research at Vanier College on Debian usability
babysitted :-)

joeDoe:

worked on his AirGradient
debugged the WiFi and VPN setup on his new laptop

anarcat:

worked on packaging sigal
worked on flashing his AirGradient boards
rewrote a Prometheus exporter for Airgradient devices
brought over a car full of old computer gear to donate

I was pretty busy this time around and ended up not taking a lot of pictures. Here's a bad one of the ceiling at Koumbit I took, and a picture by anarcat of the content of his boxes of loot:

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - November 2023

2023-12-06T00:00:00-05:00

Hello from a snowy Montréal! My life has been pretty busy lately¹ so please forgive this late report.

On November 19th, our local Debian User Group met at Montreal's most prominent hackerspace, Foulab. We've been there a few times already, but since our last visit, Foulab has had some membership/financial troubles. Happy to say things are going well again and a new team has taken over the space.

This meetup wasn't the most productive day for me (something about being exhausted apparently makes it hard to concentrate), but other people did a bunch of interesting stuff :)

Kienan & Gabriel worked on the libinfluxdb-http-perl package (now in Sid!), which is needed for smokeping.
Jérôme worked on updating JRuby to the latest upstream version.
I failed to update monitoring-plugins-systemd to the latest upstream version. It seems the entire test suite has been re-written and I couldn't make it work in sbuild...
Tiago and Tassia worked on the Debian Contributors website. More specifically, they added a DSA domains data source and created a scheduler on dcf.debian.net to make daily updates on the data sources in the dc-sources repository.
Michael worked on the 2024 NorthSec badge.
Gerard worked on debugging his broken AirGradient board.

Pictures

Here are a bunch of pictures I took! Foulab is always a great place to snap quirky things :)

More busy than the typical end of semester rush... At work, we are currently renegotiating our collective bargaining agreement and things aren't going so well. We went on strike for a few days already and we're planning on another 7 days starting on Friday 8th. ↩

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - "September" 2023

2023-10-07T00:00:00-04:00

Last Sunday, our local Debian user group gathered to chat, to work on Debian and to do other, non-Debian related hacking. A "Debian & Stuff"!

It had been a while since we held a proper meetup. Our last event was the Montreal BSP we organised back in March 2023... We somewhat missed the window for a June meetup and summer events never seem to gather a good crowd, so I didn't try to organise one.

All this to say it was nice to see folks from the Montreal Debian community :)

This event was also the first time we were hosted by L'Espace des possibles - Petite Patrie, a social venue that aims to provide a space for not-for-profit activities, like repair cafés, sowing classes, board game nights, etc. It was really nice and we will surely meet there again in the future.

Many people came to the event, including some new ones. Although people always tend to come and go during the day, a total of 12 people attended the event.

As always, people worked on very different projects! One of the focus of this D&S was assembling AirGradient DIY basic kits. Our local community has been talking a lot about air quality metrics in the past few months¹. Tiago thus decided to have a company print the PCBs for this kit and graciously gave away a few spares. Michael then took upon himself to order parts on AliExpress and a few of us ended up soldering the kits together while chatting.

Otherwise, some Debian work was also done:

I triaged and closed a bunch of bug reports and started packaging labwc, a Wayland compositor heavily inspired by Openbox.
Jérôme did some work on Clojure libraries that broke when Java 21 became supported in Sid.
Gabriel worked on the libinfluxdb-http-perl library.
Tiago and Tassia continued their work on the new DC Sources project and Tiago applied for a debian.net VM for this service.

The whole event was super fun, the tacos we had for lunch were delicious (and very authentic!), and we ended up at a local microbrewery to share a pint later in the evening.

Looking forward to the next event!

Mostly as a result of the large forest fires in Canada this summer. I myself blogged twice about air quality-related projects recently. ↩

Goodbye Bullseye — report from the Montreal 2023 BSP

2023-03-04T00:00:00-05:00

Hello World! I haven't really had time to blog here since the start of the semester, as I've been pretty busy at work¹.

All this to say, this report for the Bug Squashing Party we held in Montreal last weekend is a little late, sorry :)

First of all, I'm pleased to announce our local community seems to be doing great and has recovered from the pandemic-induced lull. May COVID stay away from our bodies forever.

This time around, a total of 9 people made it to what has become somewhat of a biennial tradition². We worked on a grand total of 14 bugs and even managed to close some!

It looks like I was too concentrated on bugs to take a picture of the event... To redeem myself, I hereby offer you a picture of a cute-but-hairless cat I met on Sunday morning:

You should try to join an upcoming BSP or to organise one if you can. It's loads of fun and you'll be helping the project make the next release happen sooner!

As always, thanks to Debian for granting us a budget for the food and to rent the venue.

Goodbye Bullseye!

Which I guess is a good thing, since it means I actually have work this semester :O ↩

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - October 2022

2022-11-01T00:00:00-04:00

Our local Debian user group gathered on Sunday October 30th to chat, work on Debian and do other, non-Debian related hacking :) This time around, we met at EfficiOS's¹ offices. As you can see from the following picture, it's a great place and the view they have is pretty awesome. Many thanks for hosting us!

This was our 4th meeting this year and once again, attendance was great: 10 people showed up to work on various things.

Following our bi-monthly schedule, our next meeting should be in December, but I'm not sure it'll happen. December can be a busy month here and I will have to poke our mailing list to see if people have the spoons for an event.

This time around, I was able to get a rough log of the Debian work people did:

pollo:

followed up with the DPL for upcoming Debian Python Team Sprint
opened a wishlist bug (#1023140) on the devscripts package for uscan to verify git tags signed with SSH keys
updated python-mediafile and mutagen to the latest upstream version

mjeanson:

fixed RC bug #1022419 on babeltrace
kindly hosted us, with the help of Mathieu Desnoyers

viashimo:

started updating puppet-strings to 3.0.1
was blocked in the process by tests requiring ruby-mdl, which is not packaged yet
was blocked in packaging ruby-mdl by rubocop not being >= ~1.2x

lavamind:

updated jnffi to 1.3.9, as part of the work on jruby he's been doing

anarcat:

updated g10k to latest upstream

babelouest:

updated node-jose to 4.10.4
worked on bug #1021779 in libical3

tvaz:

worked on updating apticron

As always, thanks to the Debian project for granting us a budget to buy some food!

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - August 2022

2022-09-07T00:00:00-04:00

Our local Debian user group gathered on Sunday August 28th¹ at the very hackish Foulab for the August 2022 edition of our "Debian & Stuff" meetings.

As always, the event was a success and we had lots of fun. Nine people showed up, including some new faces and people I hadn't seen in a while:

Animated picture of the people present at the event.

On my side, although I was badly sleep-deprived ², I still managed to be somewhat productive!

One of the WiFi Access Points we use in our 4-apartment LAN had been boot-looping for a few weeks, after a failed sysupgrade to the latest version of OpenWRT. lavamind and I suspect the flash got corrupted in a way or another during the upgrade process...

Lucky for us, this model has a serial port and runs U-Boot. After a bit of tinkering, some electrical tape and two different serial adapters³, we managed to identify the pin layout and got a shell on the machine. The device has a reset button, but since the kernel panic was happening too soon in the boot process, we weren't able to get into OpenWRT's failsafe mode this way.

Once we had serial access, wiping the flash and re-installing OpenWRT fixed our problem. A quick ansible-playbook run later, the device was back to being usable and configured :)

I was too tired to keep track of what others did, but I took some nice pictures of the pizza we got, and of this nice blow-up Tux wearing a Foulab t-shirt. Enjoy!

As always, thanks to the Debian project for granting us a budget to rent the venue and to buy some food.

Please excuse the late blog post, it's Harvest Season here and I've been quite busy. ↩
A bad case of wry neck kept me from sleeping properly for a while in August. ↩
As it turns out, serial connections work better when you use the right pins for TX and RX! ↩

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - June 2022

2022-06-22T00:00:00-04:00

As planned, we held our second local Debian meeting of the year last Sunday. We met at the lovely Eastern Bloc (an artists' hacklab) to work on Debian (and other stuff!), chat and socialise.

Although there were fewer people than at our last meeting¹, we still did a lot of work!

I worked on fixing a bunch of bugs in Clojure packages², LeLutin worked on podman and packaged libinfluxdb-http-perl and anarcat worked on internetarchive, trocla and moneta. Olivier also came by and worked on debugging his Kali install.

We are planning to have our next meeting at the end of August. If you are interested, the best way to stay in touch is either to subscribe to our mailing list or to join our IRC channel (#debian-quebec on OFTC). Events are also posted on Quebec's Agenda du libre.

Many thanks to Debian for providing us a budget to rent the venue for the day and for the pizza! Here is a nice picture anarcat took of (one of) the glasses of porter we had afterwards, at the next door brewery:

Summer meetings are always less populous and it also happened to be Father's Day... ↩

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - April 2022

2022-04-28T00:00:00-04:00

After two long years of COVID hiatus, local Debian events in Montreal are back! Last Sunday, nine of us met at Koumbit to work on Debian (and other stuff!), chat and socialise.

Even though these events aren't always the most productive, it was super fun and definitely helps keeping me motivated to work on Debian in my spare time.

Many thanks to Debian for providing us a budget to rent the venue for the day and for the pizzas! Here are a few pictures I took during the event:

If everything goes according to plan, our next meeting should be sometime in June. If you are interested, the best way to stay in touch is either to subscribe to our mailing list or to join our IRC channel (#debian-quebec on OFTC). Events are also posted on Quebec's Agenda du libre.

Montreal 2021 BSP

2021-03-29T00:00:00-04:00

Last weekend Debian Quebec held a Bug Squashing Party to try to fix some bugs in the upcoming Debian Bullseye.

I wasn't convinced at first, but Tassia's contagious energy and willingness to help organise the event eventually won me over. And — shockers! — it was really fun.

We fixed a couple of RC bugs, held lightning talks and had a virtual pizza party!

My lightning talk on autopkgtests was well received and a few people decided to migrate to sbuild and enable autopkgtests by default.

Sergio's talk on debuginfod was incredibly interesting. I'm not a C programmer and the live demo made me understand how this service can help making debugging C easier.

Jerome's talk on using Yubikeys to unlock LUKS encrypted drives was also very good! It also served as a reminder that Yubico's product are much more featureful and convenient to use than other Open Hardware/ Free Software hardware tokens. Hopefully that will change as enterprises like Nitrokey and Solokey mature.

This was my third BSP, crazy how time flies... With the Bullseye release closing in, you should try to join or organise one!

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - April 2019

2019-03-30T00:00:00-04:00

We had another Debian & Stuff in Montreal last weekend. Some people from the local FOSS community wanted to gather and watch the LibrePlanet 2019 livestream and we thought merging it with a D&S would be a good idea.

People came and went, but all in all around 10 people showed up and we had tons of fun. I ended up hacking some more on my Tor Puppet module and played around with packaging the Tomu's bootloader in Debian.

Some of the talks were really great. The videos aren't online yet, but if you eventually want to watch some of them, Tarek Loubani's opening keynote on FOSS and medical devices in Gaza was amazing (and hard to watch¹). I also really enjoyed Shauna Gordon-McKeon's talk on governing the software commons.

Thanks to the folks at Koumbit for hosting us!

Amongst other things, he played videos of Israeli soldiers cheerfully sniping civilians, showed multiple pictures of kids loosing limbs and told us how a fellow doctor he was working with got pinned down and killed by sniper rounds fired by the IDF while trying to rescue injured civilians. ↩

A Cold BSP

2019-01-23T00:00:00-05:00

Some people really dislike winter, but it's a season I've always enjoyed. I like cold weather and I would take snow over rain any day. That said, I have my limits too; the weather in Montréal last weekend was downright extreme. Weather forecast said it was the first time in a hundred years we had a violent snow storm and temperatures under -20°C at the same time. With the wind, the apparent temperature was around -35°C. Brrrr...

Sadly for us, the Montreal Bug Squashing Party was also taking place that weekend. I have to say I was worried people wouldn't show up, but we ended up being fourteen on Saturday and eight on Sunday!

On Saturday morning, I arrived pretty early, bootstrapped networking and installed an apt proxy. Turns out it's surprisingly easy to setup. Anarcat then gave a quick "BSP 101" workshop and we started to work on fixing bugs.

On Sunday Anarcat gave another workshop, "Packaging 101" this time. Even though I've been there the last 3 times he gave that workshop, it was the first time I had time to attend it. Debian packaging is now much clearer for me!

All and all, we did some pretty good work and closed a bunch of bugs. I even updated a package to a new version (my very first upload in Debian)!

So yeah, BSPs are fun! With the Buster release closing in, you should try to join or organise one!

Many thanks to the fabulous people at Eastern Bloc and to the Debian project for feeding us!

Montreal Bug Squashing Party - Jan 19th & 20th 2019

2018-12-12T00:00:00-05:00

We are organising a BSP in Montréal in January! Unlike the one we organised for the Stretch release, this one will be over a whole weekend so hopefully folks from other provinces in Canada and from the USA can come.

So yeah, come and squash bugs with us! Montreal in January can be cold, but it's usually snowy and beautiful too.

As always, the Debian Project is willing to reimburse 100 USD (or equivalent) of expenses to attend Bug Squashing Parties. If you can find a cheap flight or want to car pool with other people that are interested, going to Montréal for a weekend doesn't sound that bad, eh?

When: January 19th and 20th 2019

Where: Montréal, Eastern Bloc

Why: to squash bugs!

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - November 2018

2018-11-02T00:00:00-04:00

November's wet,
My socks are too,
Away from keyboard; still on the net,
Let's fix /usr/bin/$foo.

November can be a hard month in the Northen Hemisphere. It tends to be dark, rainy and cold. Montreal sure has been dark, rainy and cold lately.

That's why you should join us at our next Debian & Stuff later this month. Come by and work on Debian-related stuff - or not! Hanging out and chatting with folks is also perfectly fine. As always, everyone's welcome.

The date hasn't been decided yet, so be sure to fill out this poll before November 10th. This time we'll be hanging out at Koumbit.

What else can I say; if not for the good company, the bad poutine from the potato shack next door or the nice craft beer from the very hipster beer shop a little bit further down the street, you should drop by to keep November from creeping in too far.

Montreal's Debian & Stuff - August 2018

2018-08-18T00:00:00-04:00

Summer is slowly coming to an end in Montreal and as much as I would like it to last another month, I'm also glad to fall back into my regular routine.

Part of that routine means the return of Montreal's Debian & Stuff - our informal gathering of the local Debian community!

If you are in Montreal on August 26th, come and say hi: everyone's welcome!

Some of us plan to work on specific stuff (I want to show people how nice the Tomu boards I got are) - but hanging out and having a drink is also a perfectly reasonable option.

Here's a link to the event's page.
