Now on stage for the morning #OSSummit keynotes, core team member Madelyn Olson to speak about the new Valkey community effort.

I really appreciate Thunderbird's team, and these updates are going to finally put it into the running with other modern offerings. I migrated to using it as my daily driver for email management a few years ago, and I'm glad I did, but I'm also so excited to be looking at desktop improvements and an android app.

The thing I want to shout from the rooftops is: THIS IS POSSIBLE.
#opensource projects can hire UX experts, who gather quantitative & qualitative data, and who then recommend specific choices. Maintainers don't just have to guess how to design good, usable features and interfaces.
Yes, even for command-line tools.
Yes, even without a big company running the project. We got grants: pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/12/m…
And tool*chains* can pool resources to invest & learn together! harihareswara.net/posts/2023/u…

Just bought a #DELL 3190 laptop, new for $150 (11.6" screen, 64GB eMMC). It's fully supported on #Linux, and even if it has a Celeron N4120 CPU and only 4 GB of RAM, it'll work fine with #Mint, or #XFCE (and #Gnome/ #KDE if you don't mind some minor lag). Not opening too many browser tabs will ensure that the swap file won't get used too often.
If you're on a tight budget this is a good option, as it also has great battery life too at 10 hours with Linux.

We hear you: it IS frustrating that Thunderbird doesn't have a proper conversation view! It's finally time to answer WHY, and explain what we're doing to solve it.

I am getting tired of reading about the #xz #security issue as if it is all about issues within #opensource. It is much bigger than that, and those takes conflate the problem with the solution.
So I wrote "The xz issue isn't about Open Source" here: changelog.complete.org/archive…

Any experienced C developers among my followers? #BoostsWelcome.
Expat, arguably the world's most popular #XML parser, is understaffed and without funding. As #xz has shown, situations like this are dangerous.
Last month, maintainer Sebastian Pipping put up a plea for help at github.com/libexpat/libexpat/b…
(I would help myself, but my C skills barely surpass "Hello, World".)

I think the #xz incident is teaching us that our infrastructure is dangerously fragile in the face of well-organized/funded attackers. The response isn’t “try harder” or “donate to your OSS project”, it needs to be institutional, professional, and at scale.So, here’s my proposal, called “OSQI”, aimed at starting a how-to discussion: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20…
For World Autism Awareness Day, we want to highlight Open Autism, a group dedicated to developing open source software specifically for autistic users and the people who support them.
