How Free #OpenSource software tools bailed out a disaster recovery team in #Turkey
https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2023/spring/ground-zero-navigating-in-freedomfrom #FreeSoftwareFoundation Bulletin
Spring 2023At ground zero, #OpenStreetMap provided us with the mapping that we very much needed. When I was finally...deployed on the field, nobody was yet able to navigate properly. Along with much of our critical equipment, our dedicated GPS devices were sent somewhere else because the location of the earthquake's epicenter was misjudged, and almost all the personnel were trying to use their data connection to download the same maps over and over again in order to respond to every direction given by the command center. It was in this setting that I introduced a powerful free software tool called "OsmAnd~" (#OSM for Android), along with pre-downloaded maps that I had on my handheld device, which I was using to flawlessly navigate through the city.
When others saw this, it was received by the group as "magic."

What Freedoms are we losing? What do we really mean by sovereignty? What happens when we click „I agree“ and give up control of our systems? 🫣
Henry Poole shows us the blind spots with maturity models for service firms, small businesses even, that find a purpose in digital stewardship and technical ecosystems

Ich denke, wir sind uns alle einig, dass wir KI weder wegwünschen noch auf lange Sicht komplett ignorieren können. Viele Distributionen und Projekte in #Linux und #OpenSource und auch die #FreeSoftwareFoundation und die #Kernel-Entwickler beschäftigen sich damit, wie man mit #KI umgehen soll und wie die positiven Teile produktiv eingesetzt werden können, ohne dabei den Open Source-Gedanken zu verraten. Die entscheidende Frage ist:

Librephone project wants to remove proprietary “blobs” from smartphones that otherwise run open source software
There are plenty of smartphone operating systems that are mostly made from free and open source software, including de-Googled versions of Android like LineageOS, GrapheneOS, and e/OS and mobile Linux distributions like postmarketOS and Ubuntu Touch.
