We're excited to hear about the community updates that will be presented at the Fedora 40 Release Party. 😬 We'll learn about the Mentored Projects initiative, the git forge investigation, EPEL 10, and Week of Diversity!
FYI - #llama is NOT#opensource. The license is categorically not open source. Among other things, the llama 2 and 3 licenses explicitly violate Field of Endeavor.
I see all sorts of blogs and marketing materials claiming things are "open source" because they used llama somewhere. Please do not take these claims at face value.
The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁
Let's not squander it!
A sold out#PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.
Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.
I only have direct influence over small and mid-sized events.
Ultimately, it's going to take someone who has influence in organizing larger events mustering a bit of courage and conviction to step up and join PyCon US.
We cannot sit by and let PyCon US be the only flag bearer at that scale. We must rise to the level of their excellence.
Personally, I'm hoping to see the Drupal or Ruby communities step it up.
I'm scoping out a new project at work around network federation but more organisation-organisation than user-user, are there any examples of this?
We're thinking about introducing federation to networking and brokering organisations and how you start that conversation and convice them to federate. It's in the context of https://northfutures.org/
Voting is under way for the Fedora 40 election cycle! Please look at the candidates and their responses to questions about serving in the roles they are running for.
Open seats are for the Fedora Council, FESCo, Mindshare Committee, and EPEL Steering Committee.
