Dear Europe: Germany has shown the way forward, by making the Open Document Format (ODF) mandatory within its sovereign digital infrastructure. Now it's time for other countries to do the same! https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/23/dear-europe/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware #openstandards

I'm looking for full-time work!
I work at the intersection of social and technical systems, and specialize in building up people, programs, partnerships, and organizations around open source.
I have a deep track record in complex community relations, am fluent in the nuts and bolts of many technologies, and have spanned governance, org development, nonprofit and people management, comms, marketing, events, and beyond.
Let's fly!

The Prototype Fund is growing!
With “Resilience,” we’re now funding not only data security and software infrastructure but also alternatives to tech giants and their centralized ecosystems.
Under “Up and Coming,” we aim to specifically support people who are new(ish) to the #FOSS world.
In total, this means up to 19 million euros in additional funding for software developed by the civil society! 🎉

I love open source!
Yesterday I noticed that the photography site @vernissage displayed photos in a surprisingly bad way, where only half of the screen was used for the image. I file a bug about it, and today it is not only fixed in the code, but also deployed on the website https://vernissage.photos/.

I love #OpenBSD (and all the BSDs, heck all the #FOSS OSes, they're all amazing), but y'all, this is a bit sad:
