Very good move on their part. It's time more people do so. Beside, Forgejo (powering Codeberg) looks very interesting. I plan to play with it more next year.

This is indeed the best way to handle your open source dependencies. I got concerns about the ability to sell that to management though because of the extra steps. It's also probably why you want to have an OSPO in your company, it's a good way to lower the barrier for developers to contribute this way.

This is a very valid question. The most likely answer is somewhat cruel though.

This latest development in the Ruby community is rather concerning.

Very nice article on the Wikipedia success. Or why being boring and the ultimate process pettiness became the crucial part of the formula. This community really developed a fascinating culture which so far resists to mounting political pressure... But will the editors morale hold?

This stays true, most projects are maintained by a single person and that's a problem. Where is the support from all the businesses benefiting from FOSS?

An old paper which is still very relevant today. It's very much written in the context of the early women's liberation movement, and yet the lessons a much more broadly applicable.

It's indeed difficult to separate FUD from the real community issues around Matrix right now. We'll have to keep an eye on how things evolve.

Nice idea and well executed I'd say. If you got doubts about something being FOSS, stopping there and checking is in order.

This is definitely a paradox in community dynamics.

I'm not sure this dichotomy is enough for building a taxonomy of FOSS projects. But I guess it's a start and captures something often missing in other such attempts.

Flatpak is at a crossroad I'd say. The project really needs to find a way to move forward.

There's a sustainability issue for the REST support with Django. Hopefully this will resolve.

The picture is a bit to bleak I think, but there's indeed currently a divide in terms of HTTP/3 adoption. This is fairly aligned with the big players vs long tail creators divide. Hopefully this will get solved at some point.

Indeed, the Fediverse needs to be better known. Any small actions towards this goal helps.

The WordPress is still unfolding... I wouldn't be surprised if it ends with a fork.

Definitely a good list of advices for first time contributors.

It's clear that a split is forming in the C++ community on how to evolve the language. Could it lead to a full fledged divorce?

There is a sane conversation going on around uv in the Python community. Here is a good summary.

Indeed this is a much better visualization. It shows quite well how the Python programmers pool is growing.
