Working on an open-source project for years makes you a bit more philosophical about the "phases" of a project. Under pressure to add new features? That's okay. An ever-increasing number of competing projects? Let them do their thing. Corporate freeloaders not contributing back? Ignore them (friendly choice of words).
Stay at the helm of your mission and enjoy the ride :) #OpenSource
#KDE will mentor ten projects in Google Summer of Code (#GSoC) this year, including two projects for #LabPlot, a FREE, open source and cross-platform #DataVisualization and #DataAnalysis software.
A reminder to add a project to the @osgeo website you need to ask the incubation committee first (so we can check if the project is free/open source etc…).
Lee Wilkins joins Elecia( @logicalelegance ) and Chris( @stoneymonster ) to talk about The Open Source Hardware Association, the Open Hardware Summit, and zine culture.
Can you recommend a good open source podcasts app for Android? Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, and I don't think I want listen to podcasts on YT Music
The next Podman Community Cabal meeting is happening in two weeks, on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at 11:00am EDT (UTC-5). Currently no topics, so if you want to discuss something, please add it to the agenda! https://hackmd.io/gQCfskDuRLm7iOsWgH2yrg?both#opensource#podman
For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to someone I will refer to only by his first name, Gabriele. Many years ago, I was stuck in a job where I was exploited by my employer—the only one I had ever had. Gabriele, who attended one of my Linux courses about 20 years ago, saw my potential and offered me life-changing advice: 'You have a passion for what you do. Don't waste your time on someone who uses it only for their own profit. Start your own business, I'll help by introducing you to some of my clients, and we can offer the Open Source solutions that excite you so much. You're young enough to try.' I took the leap. It wasn't easy, but ultimately, I succeeded in doing the work I love and choosing the technical solutions I prefer. I'm not a great salesman and often charge too little, feeling almost guilty for asking people to pay for something I enjoy so much. But tonight, I want to say thank you to Gabriele. He might not read this, but my gratitude remains.
The Fedora Project is taking rpm-ostree and atomic systems to the next level with our bootc community initiative!
The goal is to evolve Fedora Atomic Desktops, Fedora CoreOS, and Fedora IoT to incorporate bootable containers. You will get the benefit of an atomic OS on your computer while unlocking a world of customization through the cloud native development model.
Looking for better data splits for #machinelearning? Look no further than astartes, a #pyOpenSci package from Jackson Burns, Kevin Spiekermann, and himaghna!
astartes is an #openscience, #opensource#Python package that implements many similarity- and distance-based algorithms to partition data into more challenging splits. Separate from astartes, you can use these splits to better assess out-of-sample performance with any ML model of choice.
Yesterday at Red Hat Summit @jorge and @cgwalters presented to a full house of Red Hat employees to walk through the state of atomic / image-based Linux and where we can go from here.
Fedora and Red Hat are looking at what we're doing with bootable containers and are interested in carrying that forward!
I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.52 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Posts that were liked or boosted can now be unliked and unboosted.
Outgoing message timeouts are no longer hardcoded and can be configured (see snac(8) for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some incorrect unfollows under special conditions (with shared inboxes enabled and users from the same instance that follow each other, the internal message distributor was confused).
Mastodon API: Added support for lists.
Added a header to avoid over-zealous caching in some browsers (contributed by louis77).
Added support for running and federating inside hidden networks like Tor, I2P or Loki (contributed by iwojima).
Fixed an error processing polls coming from Pleroma instances.
