Our Community Office Hours is back, and this month we've taken a deep dive into our latest yearly Extended Support Release, Thunderbird 140.0 ESR "Eclipse." We're talking with our Sr. Manager of Desktop Engineering (and introducing our new Manager of Community Programs) and talking about its new features, what didn't make the cut, and why you should give our new Monthly Release a try.
After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!
There is no calendaring app that I love more than GNOME Calendar. The design is slick, it works extremely well, it is touchpad friendly, and best of all, the community around it is just full of wonderful developers, designers, and contributors worth …

Government is prioritizing technology solutions that encourage speed, savings and innovation. Open source software — a type of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution — aligns with that approach.

Ever since I switched to #GNU #Linux in my private life, using #Windows at work gives me near-daily headaches. I have full admin rights, yet I constantly fight the system: forced updates, inconsistent behavior, sluggish UI, weird errors buried in the registry.
I used to think this was just how #computers worked. But after experiencing the #freedom and clarity of #FOSS, Windows feels more like an obstacle than a tool.
The latest Thunderbird mobile update is out! We're getting closer to sharable iOS screenshots while sharing a sneak peak at the new Android account drawer and folders. And check out all the improvements from our team and community!
Could we design systems, possibly using #AI, that help people hear each other more deeply, rather than shout more loudly? Could AI reveal patterns of harm and help communities heal?
I recommend Ente Auth as an authenticator app. Aegis is good, but it's not available on PC. Ente is available on PC ( Linux included ), and it's Open Source.
LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.
So today, I'm going for a rematch! Let's see if better tools (rr, ctags) and better understanding of #LibreOffice code is going to be enough for me to get a bugfix in under 2 hours for #BugsDoneQuick! :joy:
When different systems, applications or organisations need to communicate with each other and actually understand what is being said, interoperability is key.

Ajajaj! Něco mi říká, že tady Sovol3D se snaží porušit GPL v3 🤔 Jaké mám možnosti tohle řešit? Samozřejmě jsem jim odpověděl, že podle licence kód zveřejnit musí, ale pochybuji, že to zabere. Kontaktovat Klipper tým? Někoho v EU? 🤔

Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.
Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.
