NGINX has announced the preview release of the nginx-acme module, which adds native support to NGINX for the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol:

NGINX's native support for ACME brings a variety of benefits that simplify and enhance the overall SSL/TLS certificate management process. Being able to configure ACME directly using NGINX directives drastically reduces manual errors and eliminates much of the ongoing overhead traditionally associated with managing SSL/TLS certificates. It also reduces reliance on external tools like Certbot, creating a more secure and streamlined workflow with fewer vulnerabilities and a smaller attack surface.

Version 1.25 of Go has been released.

The Indico event-management tool has been in development at CERN for two decades at this point. The MIT-licensed web application helps organize conferences, meetings, workshops, and so on; it runs on Python and uses the Flask web framework. Two software engineers on the project, Dominic Hollis and Tomas Roun, came to EuroPython 2025 in Prague to talk about Indico, its history, and some metrics about its community. There is a bit of a connection between Indico and the conference: in 2006 and 2007, the tool was used to manage EuroPython.
