🇦🇹 Austria's Armed Forces have replaced MS Office with LibreOffice on 16,000+ workstations 📄
This shift began in 2020 to avoid mandatory cloud reliance ☁️
Their goal? Digital sovereignty—not cost saving 🔒
They even contributed 5+ person-years of code 🛠️
EU trend toward open-source grows 🇪🇺

🐣 無聊電子雞 (Bored Tamagotchi)
✨ 100% Google AI Studio 輔助開發 (Vibe Coding)
閒著無聊用 AI 寫了一個 3D Voxel 風格的電子雞！🐔
完全在瀏覽器運行，不用後端也能玩。
可以餵食、鏟屎、運動減肥，還可以進化喔～
因為是開源的，歡迎大家拿去魔改！
I built a 3D Voxel Tamagotchi using Google AI Studio! 🥚
Runs entirely in your browser (React + Three.js).
Feed them, clean them, and watch them evolve.
Fully open-source, feel free to fork it!
Google AI Studioを使って、3Dボクセルの「たまごっち」を作ってみました！👾
ブラウザだけで動きます（バックエンド不要）。
餌をあげたり、掃除したり、進化させたりできます。
オープンソースなので、ぜひ遊んでみてください！

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!
I sound awful in this one, cause I've got the biggest case of the "man flu" I ever had, meaning I've been moaning and complaining about feeling terrible for 6 days straight, and my partner has incredibly enough not donated me to a shelter for weak boys yet. Enjoy the video!

We're excited to announce that #Fedify has been awarded a service agreement by the @sovtechfund! The Sovereign Tech Fund is investing €192,000 in Fedify's development over 2025–2026 to strengthen the fediverse ecosystem.
This investment will enable us to significantly expand Fedify's capabilities and make it easier for developers to build federated applications. The commissioned work focuses on improving developer experience, adding comprehensive debugging tools, and ensuring Fedify remains at the forefront of #ActivityPub innovation.
Here are the key milestones we'll be delivering:
Web framework integrations: Official adapters for Next.js, Elysia, Fastify, and Koa, making it seamless to add federation to existing applications
ActivityPub debug & development tools: Real-time debug dashboard with WebSocket monitoring, federation lifecycle hooks, and implementation checklist CLI to make federation interactions transparent and debuggable
Storage & infrastructure enhancements: SQLiteKvStore for robust file-based storage across Node.js, Deno, and Bun, plus performance optimizations for production deployments
Comprehensive documentation & examples: Specialized tutorials for building federated blogs, social networks, and content platforms, with complete working examples and migration guides
Observability & monitoring: Full OpenTelemetry metrics, performance benchmarking tools, and federation health dashboards for production environments
Advanced features & standards: FEP-ef61 (Portable Objects) support and implementation of emerging Fediverse Enhancement Proposals to keep Fedify at the cutting edge
All developments will be open source and available for the entire #fediverse community to use, contribute to, and build upon.

Transparency update: Web framework integration progress
We're sharing a public project board to track our progress on web framework integrations for #Fedify, work commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Fund (@sovtechfund). You can follow along at:
https://github.com/orgs/fedify-dev/projects/1
About this work
The Sovereign Tech Fund invested in Fedify to expand its ecosystem through official integrations with popular web frameworks. This investment enables developers to add federation capabilities to their existing applications without changing their technology stack.
Notably, some of these integrations were completed between our initial application submission and the official kickoff of the #STF investment. This demonstrates both our commitment to the project and the community's active development momentum.
Current status
Already completed:
Next.js integration supporting both App Router and Pages Router (completed before STF kickoff)
Elysia integration optimized for the Bun ecosystem (completed before STF kickoff)
In progress:
Fastify integration (PR currently under review)
Upcoming:
Koa integration
Comprehensive documentation for all integrations
Why this matters
These integrations make Fedify accessible to developers across different JavaScript ecosystems and runtime environments. Each integration follows established patterns from our Express and h3 integrations, ensuring consistency and ease of adoption.
Investment details
Fedify has been awarded a service agreement by the Sovereign Tech Fund for this work, with a budget of €32,000 and completion target of November 30, 2025. The Sovereign Tech Agency supports the development, improvement, and maintenance of open digital infrastructure through investments like this.
We believe in transparent development and welcome community input and contributions.

At Alliander we improved our license policy for use of open source to help developers understand the guiding principles and how different types of licenses are acceptable for different situations.

What if Django had an automatic ORM feature matrix — showing which features each database really supports, straight from the code? 🧩
I’ve shared some ideas (with demo data!) on how it could work and why it’d be great for Django’s docs 💡

After a long preparation phase — and three years since I wrote my article “My Django active developers Sprints proposal 🌅” after DjangoCon US 2022 in San Diego — Django sprints are finally happening for real! ✨
This morning starts Django On The Med 🏖️, in Palafrugell, right on the Mediterranean. I’ll share this experience with you all! 🌊

Django On The Med 🏖️ has just started! 😊
I’m so happy to be here with so many amazing people from the Django community. Some are old friends, and others I’ll get to know in the next few days. 🌞
The day began with a lovely walk from the beach to the center of Palafrugell, and now the work is really starting! 💻

Open Source calendar platform goes proprietary under the delusion that "AI" means keeping their code secret leads to more secure software.
The move does absolutely nothing to increase the security of their product.

March 31 was already significant to me because that's the day in 1998 when I helped #Netscape Navigator become #OpenSource.
Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a #transgender woman. And it's my first #TransDayOfVisibility that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.
To all my #trans siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️⚧️🫂💖

⚠️ Qualcomm just bought Arduino, holy f*ck.
Huge loss for everyone, including Qualcomm, there's no way they'll recover their money once we ran away.

The second morning of Django On The Med 🏖️ just finished and it’s amazing how much we achieved together.
Many new ideas and feature proposals came up while working side by side. Sometimes, being together really helps speed up things. 💪
We also had fun breaking the pony-shaped piñata! 🐴 Now it’s time to relax a bit before the afternoon.
Sending our greetings to Wagtail Space 2025 as it’s about to start! 🌍
Just had a WICKED awesome start to Wagtail Space! Loved the energy in the Zoom room y'all.
