After #Redhat and #Hashicorp changes in their #opensource policies, I'm now looking with suspect and reviewing all single-company #FOSS projects without a clear story of multiple contributions, without a foundation based governance and/or subject to copyright #hijacking for third parties contributions. (as the infamous MySQL one).
If you are strongly depending on such a project, it is time to sleep worried. We are living in very strange times.

🎂 Today's my birthday, and if you feel like giving me a present, it'll make me so happy if you could share news about PyLadiesCon and the CFP to your network, and also submit a talk or two!

“Your union pin is against employee dress code.”

Hi, sorry, the National Labor Relations Board ensures my legal right to wear union insignia.

Pretty sure the employee handbook doesn’t win over federal law :)

What an incredible human being. Via James Hawkins on the bird app. 🥺❤️ #SineadO’Connor

I was greatly saddened by the death of Sinéad O'Connor. She was a very different person behind her fame. In 1991, my 20-y.o. daughter, Louise, was suffering from terminal cancer, when she received a phone call from Sinéad out of the blue. Sinead had heard of Louise's illness from some source, probably the press as we were raising funds for our local hospice. My daughter was a great admirer of her & loved her music. During this long call, Sinéad invited my daughter to travel to London to spend some time with her. Needless to say, Louise was thrilled. A few days later she met Louise at Euston station & Louise had the best week of her short life. They dined, they drank, they danced, but most of all they laughed irreverently. Sinéad was at the height of her fame at this time & found it highly amusing that when they were out people were asking for Louise's autograph. Louise returned home exhausted & happier than I had seen her since her devastating cancer diagnosis. It didn't stop there: this lovely, compassionate woman always stayed in touch. She sent Louise wine & flowers & letters right up until her death in 1992. On Louise's last visit to London, Sinéad gave her her platinum disc for her song Nothing Compares 2 U & dedicated her Christmas record Silent Night to her. During all this time, Sinéad never sought any publicity for these acts of love & compassion. Today my thoughts are with 2 remarkable women who, I have no doubt, will be somewhere still laughing, dancing & singing.
