I tried to go for a full day without using Open Source software. It didn't go well.

This Thanksgiving, top your turkey with Cranberry sOSS to fund open source

It's ~Thanksgiving, so let's #thankthemaintainers together 🫂

First up, @magnushi.bsky.social, CEO of @sanity.io, with a special shout out to @citizenofnowhe.re, creator of @motion.dev

Tell us what OSS project/maintainer you're thankful for, or show your support by buying some @CranberrysOSS.com 👀

buy sauce → support Open Source maintainers

This report on burnout in Open Source, written by the brilliant Miranda Heath, is the most comprehensive report on this topic ever published, as far as I know

She advocates for a “community in which OSS developers are recognised as worthy of gratitude [and can] afford to live comfortably” 🔥

Dear [Professor’s Name], I want to sincerely apologize for my actions regarding my midterm submission.

Email from a student who turned in a ChatGPT essay. Not even looking at the ChatGPT output in the apology 🥴

Keystone Maintainers Keep the Internet Going “Keystone maintainers” is a good name for the most impactful Open Source maintainers.

Nadia Asparouhova: “In conservation biology, a ‘keystone species’ is a species of animal with a disproportionately large effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Similarly, a “keystone contributor” might be a developer who contributes to multiple critical projects (...)”

Deporting legally settled people is ‘broadly in line’ with Tory policy, says Badenoch’s office Conservative leader’s spokesperson sets out plan to strip the right of indefinite leave to remain from people claiming benefits

Grotesque and sickening to come back home after a busy day of teaching and being a student to read that Tory policy would mean I could not remain here.

What a great post from @opensourcepledge.com member @zerodha.com, who are giving $1 million to Open Source projects. 🙏

“FOSS projects that the world depends on ought to receive financial backing as the norm, [and] collective societal recognition is owed to maintainers.”
