Great presentation today at #OSSummit Europe today by @zendis

So encouraging to see #Germany's leadership on deploying #OpenSource #SoverignDigital #government

Looking at how to manage both the technology but also the change. Amazing to see France & Holland also collaborating on this project!

Tomorrow at #OSSummit, Alberto García will present "Dirlock: A New Rust Tool to Manage Encrypted Filesystems" at 11:00 CEST in the Auditorium (level 0).

Dirlock aims to provide a flexible way to encrypt files, suitable for both user accounts and arbitrary directories, with full PAM integration, support for hardware-backed mechanisms, and a D-Bus API for easy management.

Very entertaining & educational keynote on #curl at #OSSummit

Amazing how much curl is involved in driving our modern world.

#Thanks Daniel Stenberg!

Really enjoyed the talk by @bagder : He told the story of the hard work of maintaining a popular open source project, within the short time of a keynote presentation, and doing so in a fun and entertaining way while getting all his points across. Well done!

I’m speaking at #OSSummit Europe, 25-27 August in Amsterdam! I had two sessions accepted, "Building a Solarpunk Web: Open Source for a Sustainable Digital Future" and "Adding the W3C’s New ARRM To Improve Your Project’s Accessibility". If you are interested in #accessibility #sustainability #solarpunk #DigitalTeams

1 registration will give you access to over 250 great sessions covering the most cutting edge topics in #OpenSource today. Explore the schedule: bit.ly/3NXx5Zp

How do you measure the value of an #OpenSource project?
After all, there's no sales $$ figures you can use.
Here's one way, which was used a decade ago to evaluate good old #httpd project by @TheASF

Good insights on applying MBA school methodologies to #FOSS, shared at last week's Open Source Summit NA #OSSummit

Now on stage for the morning #OSSummit keynotes, core team member Madelyn Olson to speak about the new Valkey community effort.

The walk-on music: "We are never ever getting back together" by Taylor Swift. 🤣

Love it!

Pro-tip for #conference vendors & sponsors in the #US:

A social media pic of your booth staff w/smiling unmasked faces does not make me want to drop by during the next break.

A free infection with #COVID, with a chance of long-term injury/disability, is just not the compelling free swag you may think it is.
