Hello and welcome to CHAOSScast Community podcast, where we share use cases and experiences with measuring open source community health. Elevating conversations about metrics, analytics, and software from the Community Health Analytics Open Source Software, or short CHAOSS Project, to wherever you like to listen. We are super excited to have joining us, Maurice Hendriks, who works for the Municipality of Amsterdam as a policy maker, specifically on the topic of Open Source. He's here to share his journey into open source and to talk more about his views on open source. Download this episode now to find out much more, and don't forget to subscribe for free to this podcast on your favorite podcast app and share this podcast with your friends and colleagues! [00:01:56] Maurice shares his journey into open source and how he got into the field. [00:05:23] Sean wonders if misunderstandings affect the work that Maurice is trying to accomplish, and Maurice talks about the laws in Netherlands and how open source is essential for the morality of the city. [00:09:36] From the government perspective Maurice talked about, he explains different perspectives on what a healthy open source project or community is. [00:12:24] Are these other governments, other municipalities in Netherlands that are using the open source software, built in Amsterdam? [00:17:28] Maurice explains how policy would potentially influence this social system. [00:21:16] We find out the difference between open sourcing something and having something publicly available. [00:23:39] What bothers Maurice as a policy maker? [00:26:15] Sean brings up a point about if software is a social good open sourcing, there needs to be a way for that to be sustainable so it's not just Maurice that's maintaining a particular project, and he wonders how Maurice balances that. [00:29:08] We hear the main lesson people should get from Maurice's vision. [00:30:05] Find out where you can follow Maurice's and his work online. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:32:53] Georg's pick is taking a family trip to Europe. [00:33:30] Sean's pick is witnessing the number of people in this country who are actively engaged in fixing the problems with the recent rulings by our Supreme Court. [00:34:05] Maurice's pick is his wife finishing her book, Akal-About life in the Dutch East Indies_ _by Lilja Anna Perdijk. Panelists: Georg Link Sean Goggins Guest: Maurice Hendriks Sponsor: SustainOSS (https://sustainoss.org/) Quotes: [00:04:27] “If there is no power, there is no software.” [00:07:11] “My mission is to use open source software to get transparency into Government information and technology.” [00:29:08] “The main lesson from my vision: Community built software is the cherry on the cake. You first need to get layers and components in place or you don't get a cake at all.” Links: CHAOSS (https://chaoss.community/) CHAOSS Project Twitter (https://twitter.com/chaossproj?lang=en) CHAOSScast Podcast (https://podcast.chaoss.community/) podcast@chaoss.community (mailto:podcast@chaoss.community) Ford Foundation (https://www.fordfoundation.org/) Georg Link Twitter (https://twitter.com/georglink) Sean Goggins Twitter (https://twitter.com/sociallycompute) The Universal Permissive License (UPL), Version 1.0 (Open Source Initiative) (https://opensource.org/licenses/UPL) European Union Public License, Version 1.2 (EUPL-1.2) (https://opensource.org/licenses/EUPL-1.2) Akal-Overleven in Nederlands-Indië (Dutch) (https://lilja.nl/) Akal-About life in the Dutch East Indies (English) (https://lilja.nl/) OpenNMT (https://opennmt.net/) Special Guest: Maurice Hendriks.

Om DIY (Gör det själv). Idag består DIY av en brokig skara kreativa människor som låter politik och estetik ta och ge av varandra. All musik är inte underhållning. En del manar till eftertanke, kanske till och med till motstånd och förvirring. Musik får politisk laddning för att den ingår i ett bestämt sammanhang. Ibland blir polariseringen mellan individer och grupper särskilt tydlig just i musik. Det är vad musikmagasinet Musik & Politik handlar om.Medverkande: Aase Berg, författare och kritiker, Kristofer Andersson, chefredaktör Bon.se och frilansjournalist.Röst: Marie Skönblom, skådespelerska Skottes Musikteater.Gästkrönikör: Ann-Sofie Francisca Lundin, med artistnamnet Min Stora Sorg.Produktion: Mikael Strömberg / GiG Aase Berg om gratisinnehållet.(Publicerat i Dagens Nyheter 2014-10-15)Jag har fått fett nog. Från och med nu kommer jag att mejla följande standardsvar när jag får förfrågningar om jobb: Tack för erbjudandet. Tyvärr måste jag avböja. Jag kliver inte ur sängen för mindre än 6000 kr F-skatt (Författarförbundets rekommendation). Vänligt från Aase Berg.Jag var på god väg att svara detta redan häromdagen, då just Sveriges Författarförbund erbjöd mig uppdraget att bli juryordförande i kommittén för nominering av en svensk emerging talent till European Union prize for literature (EUPL). Möte i Bryssel om två veckor, utse jury, presentera shortlist, hålla kontakt med sekretariatet, skriva prismotivering, författarpresentation, synopsis över verkets handling samt välja antologitext. Ersättning: 200 euro per person plus 92 euro i traktamente för juryordföranden.I går meddelade Författarförbundet att de avstår från jury¬arbetet, med hänvisning till de låga arvodena. Givetvis hade Författarförbundet koll på sina egna rekommendationer, men de satt i skiten. Om inte Sverige presenterar en jury kommer den svenska priskandidaten att handplockas av EUPL:s kansli, i första hand bland redan prisade författare. Den som redan har fått fjorton priser i Sverige kan alltså få ett från EU på köpet. Eller, ännu värre: EU hotar med att välja kandidaten utifrån försäljningssiffror.Eftersom jag inte accepterar att jobba ideellt som juryordförande inom det som är Europas rikaste maktkrets (möjligen den italienska maffian undantagen) kommer alltså typ Denise Rudberg att bli kronan på verket i svensk litteratur. De mest kvalificerade böckerna, de som banar väg för mer lättsmälta efterföljare, har låga försäljningssiffror. Alla läsare begriper sig inte på spjutspetsforskning. Det är inte heller nödvändigt. Men den komplexa och nytänkande litteraturen är massläsningens osynliga draglok.Varför finns EU:s litteraturpris om ingen vill betala för en professionell jury eller utse en seriös pristagare? Varför håller EU på med kultur över huvud taget? Är den enbart ett alibi i den lismande godhetens tjänst, en infantiliserande snuttefilt för att mjuka upp maktapparaten?Låt oss säga att jag hade gått med på att jobba ideellt åt EU i ren fasa över att någon apdålig kioskvältare eller överpremierad slentrianpristagare annars skulle kamma hem äran, då hade jag dessutom dumpat författares arvoden i allmänhet. Jag skulle bli mycket förvånad om det går till så här inom andra områden av EU:s organisation, som hos killarna i ECQAR (Expertgruppen för koordinering av kvalitetskriterier avseende asfaltbaserade vägbeläggningar).Den svenska regeringen är inte direkt inblandad i den här frågan, men det hade knappast gjort någon skillnad. Litterära utövare anses vara tacksamma masochistmuppar som sysslar med hobbyverksamhet på heltid. Inte ens EU-byråkrater begriper att om de anlitar mig, då hyr de in en konsult med kompetens inom den mest avancerade litteraturen. Inom vilken annan bransch förväntas konsulten ställa upp gratis bara för att det är ballt att åka till Bryssel? Den senaste månaden har jag tackat nej till ett flertal uppdrag på grund av skambud och trälvillkor. Och när jag, som kvinna, hävdar min yrkesheder genom att begära betalt, kan jag höra hur orden diva och bitch viskas bakom min rygg.Jag förväntas alltså sälja mig billigt för att kultur är kul. Glöm. Kultur är inte kul. Ingen jävel inom kulturen har kul, utom amatörerna. Jag är ingen amatör. Ingen kulturhälsosam plyschgroda heller. Ge mig stålar som det proffs jag är. Annars fortsätter jag att skriva och tänka i alla fall, men under jord. Och den dagen centralmakten kommer kravlande och behöver min kompetens, då är det inte Författarförbundets rekommendation som gäller längre, utan det dubbla. Plus fri sprit.Ni klarar er inte utan mig. Fatta. Gosedjuret har blivit ett monster.

Reissut on reissattu ja viivytykset on viivytelty loppuun, joten panelistit kerääntyvät jälleen virtuaalipöydän ääreen puhumaan avoimen lähdekoodin uutisista. Ensimmäiset puoli tuntia ohjelmasta pyhitettiin JHS-suosituksesta "Avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmien käyttö julkisessa hallinnossa" ja loppuaika käytiin läpi tutusti kolmen viikon uutisaiheita.
