Announcing Metalama 2025.1: Going Open Source! | by Gael Fraiteur.
Unpopular opinion: If you do not perform all the obligations of a license like the AGPLv3 yourself, and would gladly and fearlessly use software produced by someone else exclusively available under that license as part of your software service, you shoulnβt offer your software under that license.

"In this paper, I explain why the EUβs support for OSS and open standards dissipated between 2004 and 2010 despite the EUβs unchanged, unequivocally positive rhetoric about OSS and open standards, and despite the continuing dominance of Microsoft in the EUβs software market. My research [..] offers valuable insights into the current and future landscape of AI governance in the EU."

I published a new small project called "whichprovides" that's an abstraction over many package manager ecosystems, mostly for generating Package URLs to include in SBOMs:
Here are my OSS updates for March and April for Clojurists Together and other sponsors. Thanks so much for sponsoring so I can keep up with maintenance of these projects! The blog post also mentions one blog post and a Youtube video.

I built my first computer when I was 9. Stopped doing that around 12, but I never stopped tinkering with hardware and software.
This week, I found an old laptop with Windows on it.
I had been wanting to use Linux for the longest, so here we go.
Any tips or tricks for a new Linux user? π€

A colleague in the UC #OSPO Network lost a grant supporting a summer program for #HBCU students looking to get involved in #OpenSource. I know everyone's scrambling to make up lost funding right now, but if anyone knows an org that might be able to help fund a project like this, please let me know! π
Some times I don't know what to think of #OpenSource
What do you do in cases, where you discover that someone else has taken your and others hard work, hours of effort, and "forked" it (in quotes) renamed the library, and because they don't want to follow what I consider normal open source practices (like having prs reviewed before they just merge it), they go on to take your and others work and make their own library that does the same thing.
I found this in their documentation, under the new version they released. Note that there was no talk about anything mentioned here, I just found this by accident:
This release marks a significant transition! The library is now *XXX, residing in its own dedicated repository. This separation stems from the current maintainer's decision to pursue a distinct development path, introducing changes that may differ from the original vision for YYY held by its previous owner. Driven by differing opinions on future development, a desire for more rapid updates, and the goal of making specific improvements, XXX now operates independently as a separate library.
Let me know your thoughts.
It's interesting to read this #Semaphore #OSS announcement (https://semaphore.io/blog/semaphore-is-going-open-source) in the context of commoditising the complement (https://gwern.net/complement).
The only conclusion I can reach is that GH Actions has successfully monopolised the #CI market, so Semaphore give up and give away the software - commoditise CI - and pivot to enterprise support, where the real money is.
Both technical AND non-technical contributions to the PostgreSQL project are exactly why the project remains relevant, useful, and interesting today over 35 years after initial development.
Do you know someone who has given back through services like event organization, education, advocacy, frontend development, etc.?
Let the team know:
