For those who think that #OpenSource is primarily about technical quality, may I recommend Uncurled by @bagder? After decades maintaining curl + other projects, his advice keeps circling back to pragmatic tips about working with people.
Turns out the most important skills in the long run are to stay motivated, encourage contributors, + support users. Compared to that, taking care of the code is much more straightforward.
Máte Nextcloud? A znáte aplikaci Music? Pomocí ní můžete vaši hudební sbírku (nebo sbírku podcastů) přehrávat přímo z Nextcloudu (přes web) nebo publikovat Subsonic protokolem. Na mobilu pak můžete mít třeba přehrávač Ultrasonic (najdete na F-droidu). #opensource #nextcloud
A question to the #Tech bubble: I would like to use #Thunderbird with a bunch of shared calendars over Caldav. I had this issue two years ago and now here it comes again: Thunderbird becomes very slow as soon as all these calendars are added. They contain plenty of events each, many of them are reoccuring and I have tried both with and without offline support and also disabling autorefresh on some of those. I recall that back when I had the issue last, switching the view to show just one calendar at a time would help but to no avail now. Is this something I have to live with in 2023? ###Mozilla #OpenSource
Hi! For the past few weeks, I worked on a new #XMPP project: #1999 ! 1999 aims to be an XMPP client that is: 1. #free and #opensource 2. cross-platform (mobile and desktop) 3. modern looking, with a uniform look across platforms 4. user-friendly 5. secure
The goal is to have an xmpp client that has the same name, ui and features on every platform, which I believe is what xmpp lacks right now.
I am not a programmer so this is only a UI at the moment!

@milan Já měl raději Lightroom, ale 15 euro měsíčně už se mi také nechce dávat. Darktable špatný není, umí toho opravdu hodně. Je to takový Adobe Lightroom, ale zdarma a #opensource Ale třeba k Zoneru je více podobný DigiKam. Oba programy jsou i pro Windows. @bohdandlouhy

Please indulge me for a moment while I extend some enthusiastic appreciation to @ryangorley and @freehive.
I worked with FreeHive for several months on the new @thunderbird home page (check it out at thunderbird.net), and the final result far exceeded my expectations.
This is why I'm going to work with them to redesign the entire site over the next several months.
Ryan, you and your team make #opensource look GREAT!
LibreOffice 7.6 will be released as final in mid-August 2023 (check the Release Plan), with LibreOffice 7.6 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) the third pre-release since the development of version 7.6 started in mid December, 2022.
With this year’s version, we’re delivering much more than just another yearly release. Supernova represents a modernized overhaul of the software – both visually and technically – while retaining the familiarity and flexibility you expect.
It's your first step into the future of Thunderbird.

The nine months of waiting have paid off. We now have a fully accessible Hacker News client, complete with one flick per post/comment, rotor actions and somewhere down the line, three-finger swipes planned or already implemented. The app also offers the ability to compose posts, comment on threads, search for old stories and browse all of the HN's categories. So far, Octal is the best experience I've had accessing Hacker News. apps.apple.com/pl/app/octal-fo… #Accessibility #Blind #iOS #OpenSource
I don't know if anyone actually does #webdevelopment testing with #GNOME #Web (Epiphany) on #Linux, but if you've found the web inspector to be infuriatingly clunky everytime you open it, these fresh tickets are for you:
The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.
I went on to write:
>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.
While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.
I’ve spent a long, long time thinking about ethical software, the challenges we *necessarily* give ourselves compared to closed competitors, and crucially, how to overcome those challenges.
Four and a half years ago, I wrote:
>respecting your privacy is the ethical thing to do; users have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from companies and products they trust.
I hope this can serve as the beginning of the ecosystem coming together to solve this unique challenge in a way that is objectively superior than any proprietary system—all with privacy as the fundamental principle.
