Lance is awesome.

Congrats!

Thank you for @qlp for pointing this out!

Gah. I wish my #fossy24 talk was recorded so I can link to it. Too many convos about supply chain security crisis going on now and I have large FOMO energy.

A few people have asked about the #AMD open #firmware project that was discussed at #FOSSY24

I found the link in my notes:

It was awesome meeting @btopro in Oregon for #FOSSY24, trying HAX, and seeing him hack on Music Blocks.

Hope to cross paths again!

It's me and @noemu at #FOSSY24 !!! (yeah, I'm still getting through the photos from FOSSY).

It was great talking about #freesoftware and #education

@bsdtv Just last week at #FOSSY24… I asked what the CoreBoot gent thought of Protectli, which now offers CoreBoot, and he considered it the “heir” (my word) to the PC-Engines/Soekris throne. (Also my word.)

#fossy24 hashtag had some info, the event was https://2024.fossy.us

Focus is on "free and open source software", I organized a BOF session on "open source software for radio" and had a good mix of existing hams, new hams, and people who were interested to learn more.

The #FOSSY event is organized into rooms (consciously modeled on FOSDEM) and the room organizer(s) help recruit the talks on that theme and track.

At #FOSSY24 on Sunday, there were quite a few musical activities. Multi-instrumentalist Timmy Barnett gave his presentation on "GNU/Linux Loves All: Free Software in Music", I conducted a Music Blocks workshop, a group of FOSSY participants gathered to play music and share instruments.

It was quite fun to celebrate music and software freedom / free culture in this way, and there is much to be proud of.

@salt was good to see you at #FOSSY24! Wife still isn't sure about that kilt idea for me though 🤣

Also, thanks for the reminder about #SeaGL - I just submitted a talk. Hopefully see you there.

At this weekend's FOSSY conference, hosted by Software Freedom Conservancy, Sugar Labs executive director Devin Ulibarri presented on the importance of mentoring youth in free/libre/open-source projects, and how Sugar Labs is structured to support such mentorship at multiple levels. Devin highlighted four youth who have come to Sugar Labs through various entry points, how they contributed, and how both youth and mentors have benefited through working together on meaningful work. #FOSSY #FOSSY24

THANK YOU @conservancy for a great #fossy24 and looking forward to a fantastic #FOSSY25.

We're excited to help build awareness and participation of FOSSY and the #FOSS for #Education track.

Again, thank you to the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and attendees. Help support FOSSY, software freedom, and Conservancy at, https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/

...and help #Apereo continue our own work at https://www.apereo.org/join-us/friends-apereo

Now that #FOSSY24 is over, it's a great moment to remind everyone that you can support the great work that @conservancy does for software freedom by becoming a sustainer: https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/

#FOSSYBRANDING

#FOSSY24 is just like any other tech conference, but just the good parts.

Thank you @conservancy for a fantastic #FOSSY24!

See you next year!

❤️❤️❤️

Current #FOSSY24 panel

Now at #FOSSY24 is the report from the AI-Assisted Programming and Copyleft Committee with @ossguy @karen @johns and @zacchiro

Free books! #FOSSY24

Just finished my talk at Fossy 2024 about extending open source graphics software, now I can relax! Looking forward to a talk about FOSS music software coming up.. so not just one but two artsy focused talks here! #fossy24 https://2024.fossy.us/

Oh, and I'll add #HigherEducation, with organizations like @apereo, continues to be an active contributor to "FOSS outside of corporations," developing original #OpenSource source projects and cultivating communities of practice.

#EdTech #HigherEd #OSS #FOSSY24

I heard a discussion at #FOSSY24 regarding "FOSS outside of corporations," referring to the origin of the Free and #OpenSource software movement, beginning with hobbyists and foundations.

Thought I would also include the early contributions to FOSS from and through #HIgherEducation. Many foundational projects have their roots in #HigherEd.

60% of GitHub software funds came from individuals rather than companies. Not only that, but it stayed steady through economic downturn while company contributions dropped off sharply. That tells you a lot about priorities. @feynudibranch #fossy24

Now at #FOSSY24 is @feynudibranch about FOSS funding

Today is #FOSSY24 last day and also last day to submit a talk to #SeaGL

#linux #opensource #fossconf

Day four (last day) of #FOSSY24 starting off with a panel on FOSS outside of corporations.

Looking forward to #FOSSY25. If you're in #Education, #HigherEd, #OpenSource, #EdTech, or work with a #Nonprofit, be sure to plan on joining us next year.
