We held the second OpenLint office hours on 8 October. The recording, summary and full transcript are up, and the agenda is on GitHub. The theme this week was setting the table. Our goal right now isn’t new features. openlint.org/blog/2026/10...

Setting the table: the second OpenLint office hours · OpenLint
Office Hours #2 was about getting OpenLint open for business: the specification up for review, the code renamed and cleaned up, and a growing list of people doing the work.

Wilder wetter land is better for everyone. Slowing down water keeps the water table happy, helps farmers avoid drought and flood, keeps things looking nice for dog walkers, and acts as a critical fire break so farms, forests and rural homes arent burning to ground www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In positive news, was just reading about an island in Chile that installed open water solar panels and a bunch of tuna and salmon moved in underneath them because the vibrations of diesel energy had ceased. :) The world could be so good if people were just smarter everywhere.

Thinking a bit more about this: remote MCP is just APIs and local MCP is just software - both of which have existing models for controls and governance. The differences are more from the context they're used. I finally posted my perpetual draft about mcp rickymoorhouse.uk/blog/2026/mc...

For http based MCP I’d agree but for the stdio model I think there’s a different set that overlap in areas but have their own unique areas where controls and governance could be applied

Speccy, Spectral, Vacuum, Zally, you name it. There are plenty of linters and API description validators out there. While being able to enforce the rules for your APIs programmatically is fine, that is not what API Governance is about apichangelog.substack.com/p/api-govern...
