<h2>Mailing List discussions</h2>
<p>
Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This
discussion takes place on the <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/maillist"
target="_blank">Mail List</a> which is open to all HPR listeners and
contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under
<a href="https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr">Mailman</a>.
</p>
<p>The threaded discussions this month can be found here:</p>
<a href="https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-September/thread.html" target="_blank">https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-September/thread.html</a>


<h2>Events Calendar</h2>
<p>With the kind permission of <strong>LWN.net</strong> we are linking to
<a href="https://lwn.net/Calendar/" target="_blank">The LWN.net Community Calendar</a>.</p>
<p>Quoting the site:</p>
<blockquote>This is the LWN.net community event calendar, where we track
events of interest to people using and developing Linux and free software.
Clicking on individual events will take you to the appropriate web

<h2>Any other business</h2>
<h3 id="repairing-shows-where-external-files-have-been-lost">Repairing
shows where external files have been lost</h3>
<ul>
<li><p>The further back in time we go with these repairs, the more
challenging they tend to become because of the variations in the way
shows were put together. It has been difficult to process more than five
a day, and there have been a few breaks along the way!</p></li>
<li><p>The current state of the project is that it has been
completed:</p></li>
</ul>
<pre><code>    +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+
    |    date    | repairable | repair_count | unrepaired_count |
    +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+
    | 2024-10-03 | 352        | 352          | 0                |
    +------------+------------+--------------+------------------+</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>All of the processed shows have access to their transcripts, which
are held on archive.org. However, there remains the need to make
transcripts available to the older shows which have no external
files.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
