Nun steigt die Software Freedom Conservancy (“SFC”) mit ein in die Thematik und geht auf Konfrontation mit Bambu Lab. 👍

MEETUP TECH ART LISBOA

MILL - Makers In Little Lisbon, quarta-feira, 10 de junho às 19:00 GMT+1

Our monthly meetup at MILL – the Maker Space in Little Lisbon!
Join us for an informal evening of discussions and presentations around Tech Art, and a chance to see what we are up to at MILL.

We’ll demonstrate some of our works in progress at MILL, and we would also be very glad to hear about your projects or interests. Feel free to bring anything you’d like to show and discuss. Depending on how things go, we may have a slightly more formal presentation session part way through the evening, with a projector for slides etc.

Some refreshments will be provided (beer/water/tea/coffee), but please feel free to bring your own!
After the meetup we’ll head to a local bar or restaurant.

Grafana Breach Exposes Codebase, Sparks Extortion Attempt

Grafana recently experienced a security breach, where an unauthorized party gained access to its GitHub environment, downloading its codebase, but fortunately, no customer data or personal info was compromised. The company swiftly responded, taking measures to prevent further unauthorized access and thwarting an attempted extortion…

Editorial Opportunity at the Journal of Open Source Software

The Journal of Open Source Software – known to its friends as JOSS – is is a developer friendly, diamond open access journal for research software packages which has been running since 2016 and is enormously successful, publishing Open Source software across many fields of science. Its UR, joss.theoj.org, is a giveaway that it is a stablemate of astro.theoj.org, aka the Open Journal of Astrophysics.

The driving force behind JOSS, responsible for getting it off the ground at the very beginning, is Arfon Smith whom I’ve known since Nottingham days and it iis fair to say that without his considerable help, OJAp would never have started. Both journals started off as speculative ventures, and OJAp has taken a considerable time to establish itself, but JOSS took off very quickly indeed and has now published over 3,500 papers. There are numerous differences between the two journals but, like OJAp, all publications in JOSS are free to authors and readers.

Arfon has held the role of Editor-in-Chief at JOSS since 2016 but in a recent blog post he explains that he is stepping down from his role as Editor-in-Chief, although he will remain at JOSS. The call for a replacement is here. It’s an opportunity that will appeal to anyone interested in open-source research software and open-access publishing so if that’s you then please consider applying. It will be a substantial investment of time, probably about a day a week. I quote:

Candidates should have the capacity to commit the time this role requires. For those in institutional positions, we ask for a brief letter or statement from your employer or supervisor confirming support for this commitment. Independent researchers, consultants, or others without a traditional institutional affiliation should include a brief statement describing how they plan to allocate the time.

P.S. Today OJAp published its 100th paper of 2026 so far…

P.P.S. I’ll be stepping down as Editor-in-Chief at OJAp in a couple of years, when I retire, and we’ll be doing a similar search nearer the date.

#OpenSource: Free for You, Profitable for Them.

OpenSource means: #software where the #sourcecode is freely available and often costs nothing. Sounds great, but there is a catch.

#Companies like #Microsoft, #Google and #Amazon fund large #OpenSource #projects not out of #idealism, but because they build profitable #cloudservices on top of them and pocket the money.

Small #developers who charge for their work barely stand a chance against "free". Yet thousands of hours go into these projects. The #maintainers, the people who keep these projects alive, often work unpaid until they hit #burnout.

#Free does not automatically mean ethical. It is often just convenient.

New account, so new #introduction. Let's do it again!

I have a #MastersDegree in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. I went to #NMU for undergrad and #MSU for my graduate degree. I currently work at #UChicago for the #TMWCenter, which focuses on helping young children acquire language (and therefore other learning skills) faster.

In my spare time, I develop #OpenSourceSoftware such as
- a #SphinxDoc extension that embed #Fediverse comments on your page
- a library to talk to #ManifoldMarkets from native #Python
- a #PredictionMarket manager using the above
- a #transpiler from a subset of Python to #OpenStreetMaps's #OverpassQL
- bug fixes to many other projects, including #mypy, #base58, #attrs, #CPython, & more

I spend a fair bit of my time these days on #MathResearch, specifically into the #ThueMorse Sequence and its extensions.

I'm also a hobbyist editor on OpenStreetMap.

#Demisexual, #transfem, and happily engaged to my #enby sweetheart.

We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive) See here for more on them!

I speak English fluently, Spanish haltingly, and am trying to learn Chinese

Hi everyone 👋

I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/

The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.

The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.

I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)

Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏
