This is neat! In our place the rule is even 1.5m clearance for overtaking within city boundaries and 2m on country roads. But that‘s pure theory, as most car drivers don‘t know or care about this rule. (And we don’t have an official sign for it.)
As to #FOSS here, I know about (though have never used) the openbikesensor.org hardware that measures these distances in real life. Also very interesting!
Bin drauf gestupst worden, als ich gestern vorm Start der CM mit @pietervdvn von @MapComplete ins Gespräch kam, der zum #37C3 hier ist. – Ich glaube, es gibt ziemlich viele faszinierende Schnittpunkte zwischen #FOSS, #VerkehrsWende und #Aktivismus überhaupt :)
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
Suraj Bhattarai, our Liaison for the LibreOffice Nepali Community, sent us this report: In October 2023, the LibreOffice Nepali Community organized an online localization event.
In my talks and discussions about the role of Open Source maintainers, I usually list a number of reasons why maintainers might quit or otherwise reduce their involvement.
"The Russian army destroyed my house" hasn't been on that list yet 😐 🇺🇦

it's very late but a huge thank you to you and the whole #rockbox crew who put in this effort. I love love loved it back in the day and very much appreciated the #foss model being a disruptor in the proprietary media player marketplace

Well, that is not good. I have never found a better Gallery application. I also use Calendar and Clock from them. I hope forked apps will be on @fdroidorg at least.
Who makes #LibreOffice? Hundreds of people around the world – volunteers, developers in the ecosystem, and more. Robert Cabane here is part of our Quality Assurance (QA) project – and you can join it too: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
Today we’re talking to Robert Cabane, who helps out in LibreOffice’s Quality Assurance (QA) community: Tell us a bit about yourself! I’m now retired (aged 71), living in Bordeaux, France.
I am amazed that the history is so deep and reach. From talking to government ministers and training policymakers on #OpenSource, to building code and software for Nepalese users, Nepal is not new to the #FOSS movement.
I am learning so much about the ambition from the local movement!
We're back for Day 2 of #GNOMEAsia2023 with the opening keynote by Hempal Shrestha. He is introducing the past, present, and future of the #OpenSource community in Nepal.
I love how this is starting: a steward of the culture and the movement in #Nepal painting a picture of how the local movement got to where it is today, the successes, and the challenges. There are so many students here. Inspiring the next generation for folks who are coming in and are hungry for more #FOSS.
Our next big release will be #LibreOffice 24.2, in February 2024! (We're moving to a "year.month" version scheme, to make it more clear when the software was released.) And the first Alpha development build is now available for testing: qa.blog.documentfoundation.org… #foss #opensource
LibreOffice 24.2 will be released as final at the beginning of February, 2024 ( Check the Release Plan ) being LibreOffice 24.2 Alpha1 the first pre-release since the development of version 24.2 started in mid June, 2023.

ForgeFed nails the current dilemma in open source:
> Without federation, we end up having to choose between: > > * Centralizing into huge profit-oriented websites, where we're powerless > * Hosting our code on a small website where we're in control and freedom but isolated from the community
