Hello Fediverse πŸ˜€
We are starting this account for Qt Project related communication, events, and many more things.

Did you know that there is a simple page that gives you the instructions to contribute to Qt? and also you can get some nice plots to see the activity on all the repositories!

https://contribute.qt-project.org

Heard about #commonvoice (https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/)? This is an easy way to contribute to #FLOSS. Such projects need contributors (e.g. people who give data samples or review data).
We used this for teaching statistics (#rstats). Students should find out if there are gender differences by counting male vs. female contributors. There were significantly more men in our sample. Bad for unbiased #AI! If more use such projects, we can also grow the open datasets faster and fairer. #genderinequality


Alright, my open sourcerors and glitch witches: I need your help :boost_rainbow:

@tidelift – my employer whose rallying cry is Pay The Maintainers! – has launched its second ever Open Source Maintainer Survey.

If you're a maintainer, can you boost and take a few minutes to complete the ~15min survey?

If you're maintainer-adjacent, boosts appreciated!

40k users, 50k projects. We're providing service to so many, this was unbelievable four years ago when #Codeberg was founded.

Thank you for supporting our mission. Together we fight the monopoly of proprietary platforms, and work towards a future where websites are hosted by non-profit associations and federate with each other.

Learn how to help: https://docs.codeberg.org/improving-codeberg/

Big thanks to: #Gitea + #Forgejo, #Debian #GNU/#Linux and all these nice people in the #FLOSS community. You rock! πŸ’™

MoeNavigator development can continue after I finally found the source of the memory leaks in the browser engine. They were caused by an abstract class that didn't have a virtual destructor, causing undefined behavior. With that big problem out of the way, version 0.0.1 of the engine may soon be released, followed by version 0.1 of MoeNavigator. There are only a few tasks left before the release:

The Fediverse has a podcasting platform called @Castopod which has accounts that can be followed from Mastodon etc. People can also comment, like or share individual episodes. More info at:

It has just moved out of alpha testing into beta testing, with a new interface and lots of new features.
