How the open web closes, FOSS edition...

We are running a contest to create a new logo for ASF #SpamAssassin, but because of the steps taken to consolidate wikis for #TheASF and protect the ASF Confluence instance from various malefactors we have yet to figure out how to allow submissions from people who don't want to have an ASF account.

Gio is working with the Infra team to find a solution.

The new contest page is at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/SpamAssassin+new+logo+contest

We have not worked out exactly how we're going to let everyone submit, since #TheASF has had to restrict access in face of the insane AI-bots that are making everything on the web tighten up. Stay tuned....

🪶 ->🍃

The Apache Software Foundation has a new logo: The decades-old feather is replaced by an oak leaf.

And now is also branded as “The ASF.”

Reason: Sensitivity to Indigenous culture + a new message of resilience and longevity.

I’ll admit it. I’m going to miss the feather.

The people committed to DDoSing the #Apache #SpamAssassin RuleQA server seem to have substantial resources. I’ve blocked a lot of them, but they keep coming, asking about things like the May 7 2017 performance of a single rule in one contributor's stats. Not stuff real people want.

Of course, there's a resource they do not have. Our sysadmins, both those employed by #TheASF to watch all of our infra and the volunteer cadre focused on SA. We'll keep whacking the moles...

@santiago FWIW, the automated rescoring that we (the SA Project of #TheASF) do for the default rule channel works on the assumption that the threshold is 5. If you reduce the threshold you should put in proactive work to improve (i.e. reduce) the scores of mail that you value.

E.g. I use a level of 4 & I use the supplementary KAM rules channel. I can only do that because the vast majority of the legit mail on my server is aimed at "more_spam_to" addresses.

Every time I read anything about governance in #FOSS orgs that's not about #TheASF I am appalled.
Not that we're perfect, but we have managed to avoid being the creature of an insular self-appointed clique. We just elected a brand new board, as we do annually, including Apache OGs & members who've never been on the Board before. "We" is the membership, which is not purchasable with anything other than positive community-aware personal participation in ASF projects. https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/114201252710943424

Dunno if @TheASF@fosstodon.org or @theasf@mastodon.social actually has anyone behind them to post this, but as it is a public job posting and M&P should be posting them to "our social media" today, it can’t hurt for me to do it too.

#TheASF is hiring an infrastructure admin!

Infra has expressed that they need European timezone coverage, so US/CA/AU/NZ/IN/CN/HK folks are out of luck. US-sanctioned countries also would be a fatal flaw.
