Podcasts about FOSDEM

FOSDEM is the annual event for all things free and open source software in Europe happening over the 1st weekend in February in Brussels. In this episode I want to talk about one "dev room" (developer room) in particular: the one on Open Research, that has been running since 2020. Over the course of a day, we heard from a variety of speakers on topics ranging from climate change to human choreography in computing. Curious? Have a listenLinks:https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/research/  the link to all the talks at the Open Research devroom at FOSDEM25https://research-fosdem.github.io/2025-online-schedule there was an "unofficial" devroom online on 15 Feb, 2 weeks laterInterested in joining the effort on semantic climate?

Guests Ben Nickolls | Andrew Nesbitt Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard is joined by guests Ben Nickolls and Andrew Nesbitt to discuss the ecosyste.ms project. They explore how ecosyste.ms collects and analyzes metadata from various open-source projects to create a comprehensive database that can help improve funding allocation. The discussion covers the importance of funding the most critical open-source projects, the existing gaps in funding, and the partnership between ecosyste.ms and Open Source Collective to create funding algorithms that support entire ecosystems. They also talk about the challenges of maintaining data, reaching out to project maintainers, and the broader implications for the open-source community. Hit the download button now! [00:01:58] Andrew and Ben explain ecosyste.ms, what it does, and how it compares to Libraries.io. [00:04:59] Ecosyste.ms tracks metadata, not the packages themselves, and enriches data via dependency graphs, committers, issues, SBOMs, and more. [00:06:54] Andrew talks about finding 1,890 Git hosts and how many critical projects live outside GitHub. [00:08:37] There's a conversation on metadata uses and SBOM parsing. [00:12:49] Richard inquires about the ecosystem.ms funds on their website which Andrew explains it's a collaboration between Open Collective and ecosyste.ms. that algorithmically distributes funds to the most used, not most popular packages. [00:15:45] Ben shares how this is different from previous projects and brings up a past project, “Back Your Stack” and explains how ecosyste.ms is doing two things differently. [00:18:59] Ben explains how it supports payouts to other platforms and encourages maintainers to adopt funding YAML files for automation. Andrew touches on efficient outreach, payout management, and API usage (GraphQL). [00:25:36] Ben elaborates on how companies can fund ecosyste.ms (like Django) instead of curating their own lists and being inspired by Sentry's work with the Open Source Pledge. [00:29:32] Andrew speaks about scaling and developer engagement and emphasizes their focus is on high-impact sustainability. [00:32:48] Richard asks, “Why does it matter?” Ben explains that most current funding goes to popular, not most used projects and ecosyste.ms aims to fix the gap with data backed funding, and he suggests use of open standards like 360Giving and Open Contracting Data. [00:35:46] Andrew shares his thoughts on funding the right projects by improving 1% of OSS, you uplift the quality of millions of dependent projects with healthier infrastructure, faster security updates, and more resilient software. [00:38:35] Find out where you can follow ecosyste.ms and the blog on the web. Quotes [00:11:18] “I call them interesting forks. If a fork is referenced by a package, it'll get indexed.” [00:22:07] We've built a service that now moves like $25 million a year between OSS maintainers on OSC.” [00:33:23] “We don't have enough information to make collective decisions about which projects, communities, maintainers, should receive more funding.” [00:34:23] “The NSF POSE Program has distributed hundreds of millions of dollars of funding to open source communities alone.” [00:35:47] “If you have ten, twenty thousand really critical open source projects, that actually isn't unachievable to make those projects sustainable.” Spotlight [00:39:35] Ben's spotlight is Jellyfin. [00:40:20] Andrew's spotlight is zizmor. [00:42:21] Richard's spotlight is The LaTeX Project.

This week, Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi start off the episode by announcing Arduino co-founder David Cuartielles will be taking the stage as the keynote speaker at Hackaday Europe. In his talk, we'll hear about a vision of the future where consumer electronics can be tossed in the garden and turned into compost instead of sitting in a landfill for the next 1,000 years or so. You'll also hear about a particularly clever manipulation of Apple's AirTag infrastructure, how a classic kid's toy was turned into a unique display with the help of computer vision, and the workarounds required to keep older Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware up and running. They'll also cover DIY toasters, extracting your data from a smart ring before the manufacturer can sell it, a LEGO interferometer, and a new feature added to the Bus Pirate 5's already impressive list of capabilities. Capping off the episode there's a discussion about the surprising (or depending on how you think about it, unsurprising) amount of hardware that was on display at FOSDEM this year, and the history of one of man's most infernal creations, the shopping cart wheel lock. Check out the links over at Hackaday, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

This week on The Business of Open Source, I talked with Ludovic Dubost, founder and CEO of XWiki about the long history of XWiki, which he started in 2003. This was a wide-ranging conversation… here's some of the things we covered: Why XWiki is an open source company. Ludovic started out with the explicit goal of creating a company, so why start it as an open source company? The reality that starting a software company in Europe means putting yourself at a disadvantage — which doesn't mean that you shouldn't do it, but rather that you need to be aware of that fact, and that open source is one tool that European companies can use to  succeed even when they are at a disadvantage. How Ludovic bootstrapped the company, including moving from support contracts to recurring revenue from the SaaS and how the transition has happened over the yearsThe difficulties that come from being small and bootstrappedManaging the balance between distribution and monetizationWhy a community version / enterprise version model did not work for XWikiWhy it's so important to pay attention to your competitive landscape, because the only way to get customers is by offering something that is better in some way than your competitors — it's your comparative strengths that matter. Did you enjoy this conversation? Find Ludovic and XWiki at Fosdem on Saturday! And/or join us at Open Source Founders Summit. Are you also interested in the challenges around product management for open source companies? You might want to work with me.

This week Chinese hackers penetrated 8 US cell phone providers. They used the backdoor the US Government asked them to put in to perform the atack. With Chinese hackers potentially still in US networks, the FBI is advising the public to adopt encryption - the same technology the FBI has long demonized. -- During The Show -- 00:51 VoxelLibre Ansible Playbook Kids wanted Luanti (https://www.luanti.org/) Server and VoxelLibre (https://github.com/VoxeLibre/VoxeLibre) Minetest changed and broke automation Flatpak and Snap Obtaining Snap version Steve's Solution Potential for problems 13:52 Steam Lan Transfer Speed - Charlie No experience with LAN transfer speed limit Look inside of Steam Check for router/switch/bad cable Check for a system bottle necks 17:21 Internet Phone System - Jon Steve's IP phone system attempt Altispeed got out of doing phones Voxtelesys (http://www.voxtelesys.com/asknoah) FreePBX (https://www.freepbx.org/) Unix Surplus (https://unixsurplus.com/) Grandstream GRP2612W (https://www.amazon.com/Grandstream-GRP2612W-Carrier-Grade-Phone-WiFi/dp/B07X1V3CCN) YeaLink or Fanvil Check Ebay for sip phones Cisco SPA Series Cisco 7975 proceed with caution programmed with TFTP Ploycom VVX series asks for lots of information fill all fields, except password, with the the extension 32:32 News Wire Thunderbird Turns 20 - thunderbird.net (https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/12/celebrating-20-years-of-thunderbird/) GNU Shepherd 1.0.0 - gnu.org (https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/news/2024/12/the-shepherd-1.0.0-released/) QT Creator 15 - qt.io (https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-creator-15-released) OBS Studio 31 - obsproject.com (https://obsproject.com/osx_update/notes_stable.html) Gnome 47.2 - discourse.gnome.org (https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-47-2-released/25506) Nvidia 565.77 Driver - phoronix.com (https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-565.77-Linux-Driver) Linux 6.11 & 4.19 EOL - kernel.org (https://www.kernel.org) Linux 6.12 LTS - slashdot.org (https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/12/09/0125219/linux-kernel-612-confirmed-as-lts-will-be-supported-for-multiple-years#:~:text=Linux%20kernel%206.12%20joins%20the,the%20end%20of%20December%202026) EasyOS 6.5 - distrowatch.com (https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=12304) Austrumi 5.0 - zicos.com (https://en.zicos.com/download/i31956738-12-05-AUSTRUMI-500.html) Nitrus 3.8 - nxos.org (https://nxos.org/changelog/release-announcement-nitrux-3-8-0/) Alpine Linux 3.21 - aplinelinux.org (https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.21.0-released.html) openSUSE Leap Micro 6.1 - opensuse.org (https://news.opensuse.org/2024/12/06/leap-micro-released/) FOSDEM - opensource.org (https://opensource.org/events/fosdem-2025) Linux Foundation Summit - opensource.org (https://opensource.org/events/the-linux-foundation-member-summit) TUM ReAM250 - 3dprintingindustry.com (https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/build-your-own-metal-3d-printer-with-the-new-open-source-ream250-project-234965/) OLMo 2 - infoq.com (https://www.infoq.com/news/2024/12/olmo-2-ai2/) Concerns About Chinese AI - techcrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/03/huggingface-ceo-has-concerns-about-chinese-open-source-ai-models/) Llama 3.3 - venturebeat.com (https://venturebeat.com/ai/meta-launches-open-source-llama-3-3-shrinking-powerful-bigger-model-into-smaller-size/) 34:00 FBI Advises Adopting E2EE 8 US Telcoms hacked Salt Typhoon Meta data and sms accessed FBI has said for years encryption is bad Law enforcement has found ways around encryption Salt Typhoon used the government back doors Over history many people back track Level of embarrassment Steve's thoughts on the effects Pragmatic approach to mobile Encrypted communication Network effect and framing the conversation Do you have a favorite E2EE platform?

Guests Caleb Connolly | Pablo Correa Gómez Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard Littauer is joined by guests Pablo Correa Gómez and Caleb Connolly to explore the development and sustainability of postmarketOS, an open-source Linux distribution designed to extend the life of mobile devices. The team dives into the project's mission, governance, and the community-driven nature of its work. They discuss the challenges related to funding, primarily through grants and Open Collective donations, and the significance of upstreaming Linux kernel support to collaborate with other communities like Alpine Linux. The conversation also highlights the growth of the postmarketOS community, encouraging contributions from both technical and non-technical supporters, and the importance of comprehensive documentation. Additionally, issues of privacy, telemetry, and user support are examined, alongside the steps towards making postmarketOS more professional and economically sustainable. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:30] Pablo explains postmarketOS and its mission to empower people to have full control over their devices and promote sustainability. [00:02:12] Caleb talks about the governance of postmarketOS that started with a few contributors working on a package repository on top of Alpine Linux and overtime more maintainers were added. [00:03:59] There's a discussion on the structure of the team, how the community around hardware components forms sub-communities bases on common SOCs, and the focus on improving tooling and the ecosystem rather than building a product for end users. [00:06:29] Richard discusses the massive, refurbished phone market and asks about how postmarketOS fits into this ecosystem. Caleb shares their experience working on the OnePlus 6 phone and explains the technical process of making the device work on upstream Linux and the challenges of hardware enablement. [00:10:05] Pablo explains that the project is largely funded by volunteer work and Caleb describes the challenges in deciding which devices to prioritize for hardware enablement and how all hardware work so far has been done by volunteers. [00:14:09] On the importance of upstreaming, Pablo explains that postmarketOS works hard to contribute back to the Linux ecosystem rather that maintaining device-specific patches and postmarketOS is downstream to Alpine Linux but contributes much of its work upstream to maintain sustainability. [00:20:09] Richard asks about how the project builds shared context and onboards new developers and Pablo and Caleb explain how the project relies on its wiki page to provide extensive documentation and how the pmbootstrap tool makes it easier for new contributors to get started with porting new devices to postmarketOS. [00:25:01] Richard asks about telemetry and how the team tracks their impact. [00:25:39] Pablo talks about how they receive community feedback through events like FOSDEM and have seen an increase in donations, social media engagement, and community members. [00:28:39] Caleb reflects on the pros and cons of collecting telemetry, which could help guide development but may also create unwanted challenges by focusing too heavily on specific devices. [00:31:30] What are Pablo and Caleb most excited about for the next year? Pablo is excited about professionalizing the project, starting to pay contributors, and scaling the project's growth sustainably, and Caleb jokes about looking forward to the “pre-market OS.” Quotes [00:12:00] “We are trying to grow organically, bit by bit, and be able to pay people to do core things where volunteer work doesn't reach.” [00:15:06] “In the environment we live in, where you have X amount of code per update, it is totally unsustainable.” [00:16:18] “As a distro, we predominately put together the pieces that other people give us.” [00:19:13] “Downstream patches allow to experiment, but long term are a burden. That's the same for every project.” [00:19:22] “The sustainability goes beyond reducing waste and also goes into the social ecosystem and how we maintain projects.” [00:30:33] “We know we are not ready for end users, but we need to build the structure and economic support.” Spotlight [00:32:32] Richard's spotlight is DOSBox. [00:33:03] Pablo's spotlight is FOSDEM and the FOSDEM team. [00:33:57] Caleb's spotlight is processing.org.

Wenn du glaubst, dass du YAML kennst …„YAML Ain't Markup Language“ (ursprünglich „Yet Another Markup Language“) kennen viele nur als Sprache für Konfigurationsdateien. Laut dem Gründer von YAML ist das Format aber nicht dafür gedacht. Und überhaupt nutzen sehr viele Tools nur einen Bruchteil der Fähigkeiten von YAML. Welche das sind, hat uns Tina Müller erklärt. Tina ist u.a. Contributorin zur YAML Spezifikation und gibt uns mal einen Einblick in das Serialisierungs-Format.Wir sprechen über darüber, welches Problem YAML lösen wollte, wie es in der Realität genutzt wird, wie YAML selbst sowie die YAML-Parser in verschiedenen Sprachen weiterentwickelt werden, über die Flaws von YAML, wie zB. das Norway Problem oder die Billion Laughs Attacke und schauen mal welche Features nicht so bekannt sind, wie YAML tags, aliases oder YAMLScript.**** Tue was Gutes mit deiner alten Hardware – Computertruhe.Du hast noch alte Computer-Hardware rumfliegen?

Guest Nathan Schneider Panelist Richard Littauer | Leslie Hawthorne Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard is joined by Leslie Hawthorne, and features a discussion with guest Nathan Schneider, an assistant professor of media studies and the director of the Media Economics Design Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, about his new book,”Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life.” The conversation explores the motivations of the book, which stems from Nathan's experiences in running online spaces and his realization of the inadequacies in tools available for practicing democracy in these spaces. Richard, Leslie, and Nathan delve into the historical development of online spaces, the challenges in creating democratic governance online, and the potential impact on global democracy. The discussion also touches on open source sustainability, governance failures and potentials in open-source projects such as Git, and the role of protocols in shaping online communities. Additionally, Nathan argues for diverse forms of governance and shares examples of successes in opensource governance. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:40] Nathan explains the motivation for his book, “Governable Spaces.” [00:05:24] The discussion dives into the concept of the book with Richard questioning the practical existence of such spaces based on the book's definition. Nathan confirms the book focusses on the absence of democratic infrastructures in digital lives and the lack of support for cooperatives online. [00:09:09] Richard relates the discussion on culture and democracy to media archaeology and questions how this relates to open source sustainability. Nathan acknowledges the importance of the topic and brings up the example of Git to discuss absences in open source governance. [00:13:41] Leslie asks Nathan to elaborate on his views regarding the lack of governance and democratic sharing of responsibilities within the structure that have developed, particularly in open source. Nathan responds by identifying two approaches to this issue. He first addresses the cultural aspect, and then the technical and legal aspects. [00:16:44] Leslie further inquires whether Nathan has considered in his book that the lack of governance could be due to the backgrounds of early internet designers, who were not from marginalized or vulnerable populations and thus did not prioritize governance structures. He talks about the colonization metaphor in the early internet's language, specifically the term “homesteading,” and how it reflects a flawed understanding of democracy and governance. [00:18:18] Nathan mentions Jo Freeman's essay, “The Tyranny of Structurelessness,” which warns against the absence of explicit governance leading to the rise of implicit governance by those already privileged. He also emphasizes that despite the dominant structures, there are examples of democratic practices in online spaces, especially among non-dominant identity groups. [00:20:33] Richard questions the robustness of democracy and brings up a point from Nathan's book that raised some questions to him. He also wonders it was difficult for Nathan to use terms that don't hold up under scrutiny for his book, and Nathan acknowledges the complexity of the term “feudalism,” and expresses gratitude for medieval governance structures. [00:24:50] Nathan and Richard discuss the topic of crypto, and Richard appreciates how Nathan's book puts together the chapter on crypto with transformative justice and brings up that the book doesn't go deep into the specifics of internet protocols. Nathan expresses a strong interest in protocols as a means of social organization and elaborates on the significance of crypto and blockchain protocols in breaking away from traditional centralized models. [00:30:30] Leslie asks Nathan about the Fediverse and federated social networking. Nathan shares his positive view on the Fediverse and discusses his experience co-founding a Mastodon server, acknowledging the potential for creating governable spaces while also recognizing the challenges in ensuring democratic governance. [00:32:40] Find out where you can get Nathan's book for free and to purchase. Quotes [00:02:52] “The tools we have are really crappy for practicing democracy.” [00:05:57] “While working on this book, I started realizing how much my interest is in what we don't have, it's in the absence of our digital lives.” Spotlight [00:33:40] Leslie's spotlight is her community devroom co-organizers for FOSDEM'24: Shirley Bailes and Laura Czajkowski. [00:34:04] Richard's spotlight is the Vermont Arts Council. [00:34:32] Nathan's spotlight is a group called the Exit to Community collective.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 79 In this episode, host Georg Link is joined by Daniel, Anita, Sophia, and Sean, to discuss their research experiences with CHAOSS metrics and software for open source community health analysis. They dive into various topics, such as collecting and interpreting data from different perspectives, considerations regarding privacy and ethics, and the importance of collaboration between academics and industry professionals. They also highlight some significant projects and studies where CHAOSS metrics and software were employed, and their hopes and concerns for the future direction of research in the field. Furthermore, they discuss the necessity of bridging the gap between academia and industry and touch on the importance of linguistics and cultural context when examining data. Download this episode now! [00:02:48] Anita discusses the history of open source software research and how CHAOSS provides a common framework for various metrics used by researchers, and Sean emphasizes the standardization of metrics by CHAOSS, which aids in consistency across research. [00:04:52] Sophia highlights the discrepancies in metric calculations and definitions, seeking standard methodologies, especially for non-academic publications, and Daniel reflects on the differences in research approaches between academia and industry, emphasizing the importance of methodological rigor. [00:08:25] Sean critiques academic papers for often lacking complete method descriptions, calling for a more rigorous methodological transparency, and Daniel shares about transitioning from academia to industry and the different expectations for communication and results. [00:10:44] Georg inquires about the impact of CHAOSS research capabilities, and Daniel explains that CHAOSS is shaping research by reflecting the interests and observations of its contributors. [00:12:16] Sean talks about the increased capacity for research offered by CHAOSS, particularly through tools like Grimoire Lab and Augur, Anita shares her experience using Grimoire Lab for creating interventions and dashboards for open source communities to monitor their projects, and Daniel adds historical context and mentions the importance of tools that allow the replication of analysis in research. [00:17:10] Georg introduces a study using CHAOSS metrics and software that hasn't been officially published yet, and Sophia shares some details and explains the study's premise. [00:21:00] Anita raises a philosophical point about the potential limitations of metrics, suggesting that they may only reflect what is observable and could lead to gamification if people optimize their behavior based on the metrics. [00:22:14] Sean speaks about the importance of deep field engagement and the combination of social science with data mining to fully understand the data's underlying human behavior. Sophia shares her perspective from market research, discussing the design of surveys, the selection bias inherent in data collection, and the importance of understanding the population that is excluded by the research filters used. [00:25:56] Anita discusses the challenges of academic surveys, and Daniel discusses the bias that may arise from the data available. [00:28:10] Sophia contemplates the behavioral nuances dictated by different platforms' processes, and Sean suggests a focus on common software engineering processes across different tools and advocates for social scientific research in open source to better understand the human aspects. [00:30:32] Georg transitions to discussing survey methodologies and their relation to CHAOSS metrics, and Anita shares her experiences with survey design for the international Apache Software Foundation community and implementation. [00:33:10] Daniel reflects on the collaborative effort with the ASF community to ensure the survey's terms and questions were appropriately adapted for an international audience. Sophia suggest the need for a consistent taxonomy is research to ensure cultural sensitivity and understanding. [00:36:15] Sean touches on the use of large language models in research to identify common language patterns, discussing the ethical considerations of using machine learning to evaluate inclusivity in projects. Anita shares thoughts on presenting survey data responsibly and the need for careful consideration of what information is shared. [00:38:53] Georg questions the future direction for research in open source using metrics and software. Sean advocates for deeper social scientific engagement, Anita points out the silos between industry and academics, highlighting the need for more interaction and collaboration to synergize efforts and ask more relevant questions, and Sophia stresses the need to focus on gaps in data and to consider work not visible in trace data. [00:42:59] Daniel brings a pessimistic view, cautioning that the different goals of industry and academia might lead to problems unless they find ways to work together more effectively. [00:44:11] Georg asks Daniel to clarify the problems he foresees with the current research trajectories. Daniel elaborates on the potential ethical and legal issues that may arise when data is used beyond the limits of fair use, such as in mental health analysis from developer messages, and Sean and Anita add some thoughts as well.

Josh and Kurt talk to Thomas Depierre about some of the European efforts to secure software. We touch on the CRA, MDA, FOSDEM, and more. As expected Thomas drops a huge amount of knowledge on what's happening in open source. We close the show with a lot of ideas around how to move the needle for open source. It's not easy, but it is possible.

Trying NixOS can be fraught with complexity, half-completed guides, and boring videos. Even if you never plan to switch to NixOS, we invite you to come along for a hype-free ride that digs into one of the most rapidly developing areas of Linux.

In the latest episode, we delve into the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem and its implications for us as Elixir developers, highlighting the potential hazards of relying on proprietary services like OpenAI and the benefits of self-hosted, open-source AI models. We touch on the Elixir LangChain library, how Elixir's position of running our own AI models strengthens us, and the governance and financial risks of depending on a single AI provider. Tune in for why these topics matter and how they shape the future of development in the context of Elixir, plus the holiday season's impact on our show schedule, and more!
