Open Source: Separating Fact from Fiction

Here, we address some common myths and misconceptions about open source software so that all constituents can make fully informed decisions about the ecosystem.

Update. Turns out that John #Deere has been using open code under the #GPL w/o living up to the license. The Software Freedom Conservancy (@conservancy) is calling on it to comply — which would greatly enhance #farmers' #RightToRepair.
https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/mar/16/john-deere-gpl-violations/

"We…publicly call on John Deere to immediately resolve all of its outstanding GPL violations…by providing complete source code…that the GPL & other copyleft licenses require, to the farmers & others who are entitled to it."

John Deere's ongoing GPL violations: What's next

I grew up on a farm. My parents worked hard to grow crops and manage the farm business. My parents also found additional jobs to make ends meet. As farmers have done for millennia, my family used tools to farm.

Delighted to share that I'm now working as an associate of OSPOCO 🥳 OSPOCO offers contract services supporting clients in doing all the things an internal Open Source Programs Office might do, from strategy to compliance and community relations. It's a "virtual OSPO." Learn more at https://ospo.co

I will continue my search for the next big adventure, and am glad to now be doing so from a position of strength following last week's unexpected news.

What shouldn't be forget at this #IloveFS day is:

It's nice to say thank you to the companies and developers of the #freesoftware and #opensource software you are using on this day, but don't forget to also consider buying licenses or donating some (regular) money to those people behind your software!

They have a life as well and need to pay bills.

I have a friend looking into maybe learning how to #videoEdit but he's on a fixed income and doesn't have the best computer. is there a free #openSource #contentCreator software he can try out?

I've always just used premiere so I don't know about any free ones 😅

Thank you so much for creating beautiful comic art and for actively promoting #opensource software like Krita! 👍

Does anyone know of a part-time remote position for writing, preferably #FOSS / #OpenSource related, in a disability-friendly company? Our income is lowering, and I need to find a way to make some money. Writing is something that isn't that much affected by pain and brain fog.

I have experience with it: I wrote for a Portuguese online newspaper, was also an editor there for over a year, and most of Fosshost's writing was done by me.

Boosts are very appreciated :hug:

Native Americans are asking The Apache Software Foundation, "…to take the necessary steps needed to express the ally-ship they promote so deeply on their website, to act in accordance with their own code of conduct, to “be careful in the words that [they] choose”, and change their name."

It'll be a big change, but IMO one that's necessary and overdue.

It is not uncommon to learn about non-Indigenous entities appropriating Indigenous culture but none of them are as large, prestigious, nor well-known as The Apache® Software Foundation is in software circles.

How many companies are helping #opensource by putting eggs in the toaster? Find out on the #osspodcast https://opensourcesecurity.io/2023/01/08/episode-357-is-open-source-being-overexploited/ wit @kurtseifried and @joshbressers TL;DR: don't put eggs in your toaster, seriously. Also maybe companies and demanding users should stop strip mining OpenSource and burning our developers.

Episode 357 – Is open source being overexploited?

Josh and Kurt talk about how to think about open source in the context of society. Open source is more like a natural resource than a supplier. It’s common to think of open source projects as…

#Apple has contributed absolutely nothing to the #computing #history, except for design pieces for the #posh, who upgrade #computers every five years, #tablets every two years, and #phones every year, just to show off, as well as #waste #resources as very few other #companies might do.

Don't even get me started about the clearly amazing quality of #OpenSource #software, in which all Apple products are based, but made #close #source by them afterwards.

I was surprised that only this week I landed my first code contribution to MediaWiki. I would have sworn that I did so before, but I found nothing in git history.

MediaWiki is the 20 years old software running many widely used wikis, eg Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons, Fandom, written mostly in PHP. Per GitHub, it saw more than 112,000 patches by almost 600 contributors. It is the core of an ecosystem of hundreds of extensions.

New contributor spotlight
A few weeks ago, I published a call for help to work on Friendica.

Since then, two people have distinguished themselves, @Marek Bachmann :friendica: and @Grischa. Both of them picked a small feature of Friendica and took on themselves to improve it.

Ok, they kind of picked the same feature (the display of images in posts) and now their respective work is interfering with each others on the RC branch, but STILL.

I've now marked several issues as Junior Jobs, many of which don't even necessitate to know PHP to fix. It's time for you to step in and be the hero!
