RMS steps down as Emacs maintainer
It’s not a big deal since it’s not the first time this happens, but it’s good to recall what hapenned:
Dan Nicolaescu started the thread in 2007/06/04:
Do you still plan to turn over Emacs maintenance to someone else? Have you made a decision on who is going to be the new Emacs maintainer(s)?
RMS replied:
I would still like to do so. I have not made a plan.
A long thread goes by the next 7 months until RMS decides:
Stefan and Yidong offered to take over, so I am willing to hand over Emacs development to them.
Welcome Stefan and Yidong, my best wishes.

360° Video
My friend Camilo Telles did his master thesis on this exact subject, he projected this camera entirely in wood and cheap web cameras, he also wrote a software to integrate all the images in one single, it’s not his work, but it’s similar and very interesting.
