💡 This week would be a perfect week to #GiveUpGitHub.

☣️ #GitHub is the #Twitter of software development, creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.

Two weeks after #FOSDEM #KDE Itinerary understands SBB ticket barcodes (thanks to hints from SBB) as well as Eurostar ones (thanks to travel document donations). We can also decrypt and decode UK railway ticket barcodes now (thanks to the excellent research published on https://eta.st/2023/01/31/rail-tickets.html), still missing UK NLC station codes in #Wikidata to make full use of that though.

💬 "I don’t think people understand how #Covid affects older Americans. In 2020, there was this all-in-this-together vibe, and it’s been annihilated. People just need to care about other people, man. That’s my soapbox."

💬 "Americans do not agree about the duty to protect others, whether it’s from a virus or gun violence."

My impressions from #FOSDEM: https://volkerkrause.eu/2023/02/11/fosdem-2023-recap.html

Invaluable for inter-community collaboration, lots of exciting things happening between #KDE and #OpenTransport / #UnifiedPush / #Yocto on #RISCV

Virtual conferences had their role, but it's exciting watching the Q&A from Sarah Julia Kriesch's #FOSDEM talk on the Open #Mainframe Project #Linux Distributions Working Group last weekend. Meeting people in person is grand! And it's likely how we'll continue to grow 🌱 🐧

Video here: https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/open_mainframe_project/

We had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful members of the Linux mobile community at #FOSDEM and would love to continue the conversation.
We hope you'll join us at Linux App Summit in Brno, Czech Republic on April 21-23.

@cycletux You might be interested in https://apps.kde.org/itinerary/. It's a cool app made by @VolkerKrause that try to support as many transportation service as possible. There is a talk about it at #FOSDEM in the Railways and Open Transport devroom devroom https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/rot_kitinerary/

Did you grab your stickers at #fosdem? Show us.

@fosdem

So happy to be finally running the #FOSDEM and #CASIO watch faces on the #PineTime #OpenSource

At #FOSDEM , things may seem chaotic at times but that's because of the physical limitations of the place. The actual organization of the event and post event (video feedback, etc.) is so impressive that we need to really admire and appreciate it. Thanks to all the volunteers!

The video recording of my #FOSDEM talk about dissecting public transport tickets and using public transport data in #KDE Itinerary is available now: https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/rot_kitinerary/

I really enjoyed meeting so many new people, presenting and discussing the #CyberResilienceAct at OFE's #OpenSource summit and #FOSDEM on behalf of @nlnetlabs. Very grateful for the opportunity.

The many responses make me hopeful that we can effect some change.

Now it is time for two days of down-time #selfcare. I'll be back on Thursday.

In the meantime: I have approved FOSDEM's video preview of https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/cyber_resilience/, and I understand it will be available shortly.

On the way back from #FOSDEM, gas station had a touch screen for kids... 👀

Of course I drew a #Nix logo 😀

Arianna library view got some nice improvements today on my way back home after #FOSDEM. There is now a global search bar and the extraction of series and book genres is now way better.

The sun is setting on #FOSDEM2023 after a great weekend on all things #opensource. Many thanks to everyone who could drop by any of our 8 talks & who took part in the Q&As. See you at #FOSDEM2024! #FOSDEM

Our last talk of the day for the #FOSDEM #CommunityDevRoom: Ray Paik on “do we still need virtual events?”

Last but not least, Nícolas F. R. A. Prado ends #FOSDEM2023 with his talk "Rethinking device support for the long-term" in UA2.220. Watch live here - live.fosdem.org/watch/ua2220 #FOSDEM #KernelCI #OpenSource

Lead by example, not authority.
Accept failure, acknowledge mistakes.

All so important.
