🧩 Karrot plugins are nearly possible... 🥳

This will mean it's possible to write plugins to add your own functionality within Karrot, and be able to make use of all the core Karrot community organising features.

I'm quite excited at the potential.

🚧 Very work-in-progress docs over at https://docs.karrot.world/dev/plugins <-- link fixed!

This is part of our current #nlnet @NGIZero funded work ♥️

Unable to focus so I spent a little bit and made some KiCad footprints for the @NGIZero hexagons.

You can find them on github in my KiCad libraries

Do you think interacting with the Domain Name System is hard in #rustlang? @nlnetlabs is working on making this easier with 'domain', our #OpenSource #DNS toolkit with building blocks for application developers. Come talk to @partim, @terts, Philip and me at @rustnl to learn more. https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/domain-dns-building-blocks-for-rust-application-developers/

Meet oct-git, a new #OpenPGP signing and verification tool for use with the #Git distributed version control system:

https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-tool-git 🦀

oct-git focuses exclusively on ergonomic use with OpenPGP card-based signing keys

It is designed to be easy to set up, standalone (no long running processes), and entirely hands-off to use (no repeated PIN entry required, by default). It comes with desktop notifications for touch confirmation (if required)

manyfold, 25 days ago to accessibility

Manyfold v0.65.0 has been released! This release is all about #Accessibility, after our audit last week. There's a big pile of improvements around screen reading, keyboard navigation, colour, labelling, and so on, which will benefit everyone! More to come, too!

It's been great to be able to get some expert advice and then put time into this, thanks to NLNet and @NGIZero. It's a rare opportunity in open source!

kirk, 1 month ago to Batteries

Really happy to share that our open-source battery project has the support of NLnet/ @NGIZero !!

https://fbrc.dev/posts/NLnet-funding/

With this catalytic funding, our small collaboration to develop an open-source flow battery for stationary energy storage can further develop. We're planning on finalizing our small-scale benchtop kit (for R&D/educational use) before going to a larger cell design.

Very grateful for their support and belief in the project.

Two years ago, #EDPS embarked on a pioneering journey launching a pilot project of two decentralised social media platforms: #EUVoice & #EUVideo.

18 May will mark the end of the project. Time to review the results of this successful story.

Just had a great accessibility testing session with some lovely folks from HAN University of Applied Sciences, supported by @NGIZero. I've taken so many notes, and written down so many things to fix.

My favourite bit though was the incredible 8-bit wall of noise the screen reader made when the page was loading a bunch of models, to which they said “it's technically a WCAG success, but not a UX success” 🤣

Nobody seems to have noticed it but the Mastodon project have been granted funding by @NGIZero in the Entrust fund.

This is amazing, but the best part is that this funding is targeted at implementing… Quote Posts 🎉

This effort started several months ago and we already did some preliminary work, but this will be a big feature for our next 4.4 version. This funding will cover the ActivityPub work, as well as backend, web frontend and official mobile app implementation.

Okay, so, remember how I had some big news? Well, I didn't get to announce it yesterday as I was unwell (I've been unwell most of the month and could really do with extra financial support right now!)

The big news is that my FIRES project has been granted funding by NLNet (@NGIZero) Entrust fund.

What is FIRES? It's a project I've been slowly working since September last year, and provides a server for maintaining and distributing moderation advisories and recommendations.

libreoffice, 1 month ago to linux

Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like #Linux and #LibreOffice – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #privacy

Guix is bootstrapping far enough not to be affected (as far as I understand the issue). Hat off to the Guix community on that one!

This might be the biggest real world WOW effect for Gnu MES and Guix wrt. real word supply chain attack mitigations via full source bootstrapping.

manyfold, 2 months ago to fediverse

It's BIG release time; Manyfold is going multi-user! v0.59.0 adds user login, signup, and a range of roles & permissions so you can start sharing your library directly with friends. And, it's a big step towards our goal of being able to join the #Fediverse!

Never fear though, it's all optional; if you don't turn it on, Manyfold will keep working exactly as before.

You should definitely read the release notes for this one: https://github.com/manyfold3d/manyfold/releases/tag/v0.59.0
