I've created a Jupyter Lite version of the #GLAMWorkbench's 'getting started' notebook. It shows you how Jupyter notebooks work, with live examples that download data from the NMA collection API. https://glam-workbench.net/getting-started-jlite/lab/index.html?path=using_jupyter_notebooks.ipynb

Jupyter Lite runs in your browser, so there's no waiting for Binder or any cloud service to start up. #GLAM #jupyter

“You’re not burned out because you’re weak.

“You’re burned out because you’ve been relevant, valuable, over-functioning for too long—inside systems that reward your ability to endure dysfunction and call it #leadership.”

I’ve been pushed out of my comfort zone many times during this first year. I’m not a natural speaker but have come to think that we shouldn’t leave the stages of the world to the natural speakers. I didn’t know how to write offers to ministries, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it (happy to leave this to the naturals, though).

It hasn’t been an easy year, but a very interesting year professionally, and an important year for public digital infrastructure and #OpenSource. Thanks to those who’ve supported me and us in any way 🫶

I joined Zentrum Digitale Souveränität (@zendis) a year ago, and it's flown by. It's been a complicated, often devastating, year politically, but it's been good being part of an organisation that seeks to counteract the current political climate of cut-throat deal-making with collaboration and #OpenSource technologies.

When I started out, as one of the first couple of employees, we were still waiting for our laptops to arrive. One of my first tasks was to support the #UN #OSPOs for Good conference, organising a welcome reception in NYC from afar (thankfully, the laptops had arrived by then).

The latest #HerdingCats newsletter is out 🐈, featuring an analysis of the #EuroStack initiative's vision for a sovereign European digital infrastructure.

Also in this issue: an #OpenSource project that lets you build and customise your own timeline algorithm, plus some interesting reads on the impact of LLM scrapers on #FOSS infrastructure and what we can learn from "drunk-dialling" YouTube.

Read the full issue here: https://herdingcats.ghost.io/the-politics-of-the-eurostack-2/

✍️"We have to work on establishing Europe as the centre of open source excellence".

Recently, the EOSA team had the opportunity to discuss the importance of open source for Europe's future with Dr. David Manset, Senior Coordinator at the #UnitedNations International Telecommunications Union.

🔉Wondering what Dr. Manset had to say to the #OS community?

In short, her message:

Build community in every way we can

Remember social security is a promise we make to ourselves, our families, and each other

And vote for those who fight for the people

WOW - The French government announced a new OSS project simply called Docs:

“A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation that scales. Built with Django and React. Opensource alternative to Notion or Outline."

It’s even offline-first, using the CRDTs under the hood (Y.js).

LOL, does this mean I get to roll out the

"Liberté, Egalité, CRDTé”

Dad joke?

I think it does. Link below:

@Pigsonthewing Thank you, this is such a nice surprise! Always glad to see there are other people interested in c19 microscopy :)

@lea_bei Hi, You may enjoy this Wikipedia article, which I just wrote, and where I cited your work:

@juliaro @FOSSBackstage This is so cool, thank you! Can I use this under a CC license by any chance? 😊

Favourite moment @FOSSBackstage als @sampaccoud und @lea_bei live ihr deutsch-französisches Text-Editor-Tool vorstellen und auf ihrer Slide einen QR-Code zeigen und wir live auf dem Bildschirm sehen können, wie das Publikum im Saal anfängt, das Dokument zu editieren ("Ohai!", "funktioniert!")

😅🥰🤓

@rcheesley Ah that's a shame, but maybe Tuesday for lunch then :)

A few months ago, France and Germany decided to combine their resources to jointly develop sovereign digital applications for their administrative workplaces, utilizing common open-source modules. At this year's FOSS Backstage, Samuel Paccoud and Lea Beiermann will discuss the technical, governance, and political aspects of these collaborative initiatives.
