We could not be more proud of our Director of Community Operations, @freedeb for winning the @fsf's #FreeSoftware Award for all of the amazing work she has done over the years promoting user freedom and making the #softwarefreedom community more welcoming!

At #FOSSASIA Duane O'Brien reminds us that more than half of #opensource lives in places other than GitHub.

Think twice before you rely on proprietary platforms for your #FLOSS work. And before you judge people based on GitHub profiles.

So the Open Source Initiative election is coming up very soon:

I'm happy to see such a richly diverse set of candidates this election. #OpenSource is about freedom *for all*, so let's work together to make sure we aren't left with an all-white male board from only the US and EU.

The entire world needs strong community stewardship of Open Source more now than ever, and we are stronger when we stand together.

Grateful to hear @cwebber talk about #copyleft & #decentralized tools like #ActivityPub at #CopyleftConf Brussels.

#UNICEF wants to invest in #FreeSoftware "The Fund provides investment-style funding for early-stage, #OpenSource technology solutions that address the most pressing challenges faced by children and young people", further "UNICEF requires that all code, content or hardware developed and tested be open source and be publicly available."... Great initiative! https://www.ungm.org/Public/Notice/82482

In January, the #EU is launching bug bounties on #FreeSoftware projects to increase the #security of the #Internet! https://juliareda.eu/2018/12/eu-fossa-bug-bounties #FOSSA

Business idea. Create a "company" that:

* does #freesoftware only, both consulting on existing software and developing new products
* primarily focuses on local governments, non-profits and the like
* has no office
* has no hierarchy and no bosses
* has no managers
* employs free software developers from the whole world
* maximize developer happiness
* minimize meetings and bureaucracy

The reason I quoted company is that it doesn't even have to be a legal entity. Call it community if you like.

on the base of what I'm reading on Mastodon these days, in order to have a mobile platform that runs #freesoftware, we need a huge amount of money to suppot the development of our free software based infrastructure.

We are at ground 0 in that regard

#introduction Hi everyone! Just joined and this place seems pretty cool so far. I'm into #programming and #freesoftware mostly. Also an anarchist of course.
