Do awesome things, and build up your skills! Anyone can join the #LibreOffice project – you don't need to be a coder. At a recent event in Brasil, community members talked about this topic: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #freesoftware #opensource



Want new features in #LibreOffice? Help to fund developers! For instance, Andreas Heinisch recently improved AutoText, thanks to end-users supporting him on Patreon: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #freesoftware #opensource


A new #Flathub website launched at #LAS2023 last weekend! 🎉 The redesigned site brings a fresh look and a verification feature. Developers can now log in and verify ownership of their apps, earning a blue check mark. Check it out here: flathub.org/

Head of the Swedish Internet Society introducing our first keynote speaker of the day, Daniel Stenberg, creator of curl. Greetings from Stockholm and the #OpenSource Driving the European Digital Decade event! openforumeurope.org/event/oss-…


Recently I have been playing with various GUI's for the Whisper transcription software. Buzz has definitely won the showdown. Almost completely keyboard accessible, give or take the toolbar which needs exploring through object navigation of NVDA or an equivallent in your screen reader of choice; handles the downloading of models, FFMPEG conversion and everything that otherwise would have required operation in the command line, works with Whisper.CPP as far as I can tell and can be localized to other languages.
Now I can finally listen to podcasts in all the languages I can't speak. I love it when technology enhances my access to knowledge and helps me do my work even better for those who benefit from it.

Remember that quick #RPKI test that the RIPE NCC once offered? It has found a new, permanent home at NLnet Labs: rpkitest.nlnetlabs.net

Of course this is also an #OpenSource project, courtesy of @jasper: github.com/NLnetLabs/rpkitest-…

Free software is about much more than zero-cost. It's about the freedom to use, study, modify and share software. So we're increasing public policy-related activities in the EU, to raise awareness of this: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #libreoffice #eu


Been working on a new project the last couple of months and it's finally ready for beta release!

We have 2 openings in my team to work on #OpenSource full time vr.se/om-vetenskapsradet/jobba… #sunet #python #Linux #debian #sweden

I can vouch for the team & the management, and your work will directly affect research & higher education sector across the globe. Oh, also the identity developer role also means you will work on projects touching every EU residence's life.



This looks really sleek and attractive. Well done, #LibreOffice, this doesn't look like the average #OpenSource and #FOSS software.

I would have guessed that this is #MicrosoftOffice because I don't use it at all, and it is the last #OfficeSuite that I saw and interacred with.



Hey there -- we're Let's Encrypt, the free and open certificate authority serving over 300 million websites worldwide. We're new to Mastodon and are excited to get to know the infosec community in this new space!

We had our own Godot GDC Meetup hosted by @GitHub, which was a great time to meet old and new friends in a relaxed environment.

@gdquest gave an insightful talk on the governance challenges faced by big #opensource projects like Godot:

Alex Castellani (@alecaddd) is leading the charge on Thunderbird’s modern redesign, and we're thrilled to have him on the team!

But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...

Find out that story and much more in our "Meet The Team" series, a series of conversations with the people behind the software you use every day.

#LAION (non-profit association from Hamburg, Germany) is working on an #OpenSource alternative to #ChatGPT. They are crowd-sourcing a conversation dataset to fine-tune an existing open source #LLM similar to how ChatGPT was created.

You can help creating the dataset on open-assistant.io!

The first dataset release is planned for 15. April 2023.

"By being on GitHub, we reduce friction from the contribution process and we maximize the ability for others to join in and help. We lower the bar. This is good for us."

There have been many criticism towards GitHub on the Fediverse (#GiveUpGitHub). Some even say it's the "Twitter of hosting code". While I understand the rationale, I disagree. Been using GitHub for over a decade now and have hundreds of repositories there. Without GitHub it would be amazingly difficult to manage. I use for-profit products by Microsoft, can you imagine some of them have their place in the world?

I can quit Twitter, Facebook, etc. and self-host almost anything, but not my and the firm's code. Why?

You disagree with what exactly? That there are no viable alternatives to a walled garden whose owners abuse those who use it? Who have no respect for their work and intellectual property rights?

Because there are plenty of alternatives that people use every day.

For my latest story, I got to correspond with a Ukranian developer with cerebral palsy who uses ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to communicate and code. It was wild, because I don't think our interaction would have been possible just a few years ago.

Beyond that, though, #GenerativeAI is removing barriers for him to code and contribute. He even released his first #OpenSource project recently sharing his experience!
