Holy balls. Therewere nearly *a thousand speakers* at #FOSDEM


Sudo rewrite sudo in #rust - just received this postcard at #FOSDEM.




I just published a list of talks related to #sustainability at #fosdem mleduc.xyz/2024/02/04/fosdem-s…

With talks from @mgifford @bpetit @nhoening (for those I could find on Mastodon)

#fosdem24 #greenit #sustainableIT


I wonder whether there will ever be a year when it would be possible to return from #FOSDEM using the high speed line between Rotterdam and Amsterdam, preferably faster than 80 km/h.

Hey #gnome and #kde people, since you are at #fosdem could you maybe discuss what would it take to make a common toolkit (Linux toolkit?) that would appeal to both #c and #cpp devs? Basically covering both platforms so we could converge. Maybe #swiftlang? Fork of #Kotlin native? Seems to me we would be better off with people writing mobile apps for Linux desktop, than people writing web apps and electron garbage on desktop.

Version 1.2.0 of the xdg-utils is out! :drgn_box:

Please test them! (But don't deploy yet)

Thank you to everyone else who contributed and thanks to Simon for the trust and maintainer work! :drgn_heart:


We need more eyes on that code! :drgn_notice:

The xdg-utils are children of their time, shellscripts that by large don’t follow a “modern” scripting style …

… which means that there is a lot of work to catch up on and any changes should be reviewed by more people than they currently are.
In case you want to help:
Just pick something that seems interesting and doable for you and open an issue/merge request.

Things that need to be done:

  • Read the code and try to find mistakes (Usage of external tools, escaping, …)
  • Find mistakes in open merge requests.
  • Review, research and fix issues.
  • Improve tests
  • Improve documentation
  • Rebase old merge requests
  • Improve Cygwin and MacOS support
  • etc.

And while I’m at it i might also hijack #fosdem for this. :drgn_dark_mlem:




The slides from my second #FOSDEM talk of the day - What can digital open source projects do to reduce our environmental footprint - is up. It is a lightnight talk, so not a lot of text, but, I think the notes are available.

So great to be on the stage with @moodle #OpenFisca #TruBudget & #OSPOPlusPlus




My slides from my first talk at #FOSDEM talk this year - Web Accessibility and Environmental Sustainability and with Popular CMS

It was a great opportunity to share how #accessibility & #sustainability are related.
