Here is my monthly update covering a large part of what I have been doing in the free software world (previously):

• Added Python 3 support to django-template-tests, a tool to perform simple static analysis on Django templates. (#1)
• Corrected my Chrome extension for the FastMail web interface to not disable the CTRL+Enter keyboard shortcut when authoring emails. (#3)
• Corrected a subtle bug in my django-staticfiles-dotd "staticfiles" library where the Content-Length HTTP header was calculated incorrectly in the presence of Unicode characters resulting in truncated output. (#2)
• Various fixes to django-slack, a library to easily post messages to the Slack group-messaging utility from projects using the Django web development framework:
  • Don't require an explicit backend import when using the Celery task queue backend. (#41)
  • Actually generate and send messages asynchronously when using the Celery backend. (#44)
• Fixed an issue with my local-debian-mirror tool where the option to disable DEP-11 mirroring wasn't working. (#1)
• Fixed an issue in django-hipchat, a library to easily post messages to the Hipchat group-messaging utility from projects using the Django web development framework where the templates were not includes when installing via PyPI. (#1)
• Created a quick-and-dirty tool to scrape a Squarespace blog and convert it to a PDF so I can read them on my Kindle e-reader. (tree)
• Updated django-keyerror — a library to post exceptions to the KeyError.com error tracking service — to silence an AttributeError exception in some error-reporting edge-cases. (commit)
• Suggested an improvement to the documentation for the upcoming Twitter Bootstrap version for the deprecated .hidden and .show CSS classes. (#19789)
• Submitted a documentation update to the Ansible server configuration tool's ufw firewall module. (commit)
• I also blogged about parsing Jenkins CI output to determine job success or failure.
