Listened to The Tech Talks Daily Podcast: 2290: OpenUK CEO Amanda Brock On The Future For Open Source
Post details
As businesses and individuals, we rely increasingly on digital services in our everyday lives. Our lives have become dependent on technology, from cloud services to mobile phones and streaming sites to the apps we use. And behind these technologies lies open source software. Open source software has become a vital part of building digital services. It has made it possible for developers to collaborate and share code, making it faster and more cost-effective to build software. But with this increase in use, the importance of security planning and governance has also grown. Amanda Brock, CEO of OpenUK, is a leading open-source software and governance expert. She has been an advocate for open source software for over a decade and has seen its impact on the industry. Amanda shares where we are with open source and why we must care about how our software gets put together and where it comes from. Amanda discusses the importance of understanding the source of the code and the licenses used. With the rise of open source software, it is essential to be aware of potential legal issues and ensure compliance with licensing requirements. She also highlights the importance of building and maintaining trust with open source communities and contributing back to them. Amanda also emphasizes the role of governance in ensuring the security and reliability of open source software. She points out that open source projects must have a strong governance structure to ensure that contributors are held accountable and that the code is secure. As Amanda notes, open source software has become too important to ignore. We must ensure that we are not only using it but also contributing to it and supporting its continued growth.  By understanding where our software comes from and its governance structure, we can ensure the security and reliability of the technologies we rely on daily. As businesses and individuals, we must recognize the importance of open source software and take steps to ensure its continued growth and success. Sponsored VPN Offer

I've got a Hugo site that uses IndieWeb technologies (Micropub, Microformats, Webmention) to also interoperate with the Fediverse and Mastodon.

My site publishes an average of 50 commits a day, most of which are done using Micropub (using a custom built Micropub server).

Then I use Bridgy Fed to do the IndieWeb-to-Mastodon connectivity, sending it a webmention when I post a new thing, and it then syndicates it to my followers in the Fediverse. Bridgy Fed's rendering of content isn't maybe as flexible as you would want - I believe it's set to only syndicate specific things, but that may be something we can improve and/or make configurable!

You could use Netlify functions for your Micropub endpoint - I know a few folks have done that before (including Carol Gilabert)!

One thing to be cautious of is as you're starting to publish more content, avoiding spamming folks with Webmentions.

For the PESOS items, I've been doing it with my step counts, and similar could probably be done on Netlify with a scheduled function to grab the latest entries and publish them to your site.

IMHO, an underappreciated aspect of 'filing bug reports is (hard) work for people' is that it's hard work that often has no particularly immediate payoff. Filing a bug report will mostly not get the problem fixed immediately the way you want; at best it may get you a fix in the next release, which will arrive who knows when.

This week we’re celebrating Maintainer Month along with our friends at GitHub. Open source runs the world, but who runs open source? Maintainers. Open source maintainers are behind the software we use everyday, but they don’t always have the community or support they need. That’s why we’re celebrating open source maint...

The question isn't determining whether Bluesky, Mastodon, Twitter, etc is the better platform. The question is why are we obsessed with emulating centralized corporate experiences that do not care about us or our communities? It's a lack of imagination leading that convo, not innovation.

I like when I can add a cover letter as an optional thing if I want to dig into a couple of areas and add more context my CV may be not as deep on, but it's nice when it can be optional not required!

Liked Getting to know the Open Source Vulnerability (OSV) format - Open Source Security Foundation by Jennifer Bly 
Post details
To keep the modern technological world of open source software safe, it is critical to efficiently and accurately communicate information about open source vulnerabilities. The OSV Schema, created through the collaboration between OpenSSF members and housed within the Vulnerability Disclosures Working Group, provides a minimal, easy-to-use first class JSON format for describing vulnerabilities in open source software.
