For the occasion of 25 years of Krita and in preparation of Software Freedom Day in September 21st of this year, we wanted to talk with Halla, the lead maintainer of this great project. We asked around and Arnoud stepped up and offered to visit Halla to ask some questions about the project's history and future. The talk is also available as a video on the PeerTube instance of the Digital Freedom Foundation. If you know what Software Freedom Day is, I'm confident that your heart warms up with fond memories. If you don't know what it is, have a look at digitalfreedoms.org/sfd for more info. Basically, it's a grassroots movement from local teams organizing events to tell others about the benefits and importance of software freedom. If you would consider organizing Software Freedom Day where you live, don't hesitate to visit the blog on our site, and get some inspiration for what you could do. With that said, let's listen to the interview between Arnoud and Halla. Enjoy it! Today we're interviewing Halla, who is the lead maintainer of Krita, to learn all about it and to hear where the project has been and where it's going. Halla, to start us off, could you tell us a little bit about what Krita is? Sure. I love telling people about Krita. So Krita is a digital painting application. It's meant to make art from scratch, both still images and animations. So we've got a huge number of brush engines, color spaces for people who need to print and lots of features really focused at creating art from start. For what kind of illustrations would you use Krita? Pretty much everything. I've seen so many different artworks, different styles. People are working on comics in Krita. People are working with illustrations. There are people who design those trade book card with Krita. Games, I mean, whole animated games, like platform games. It's used for all that sort of thing, for everything, in every style, in pretty much every country in the world. Wow. Uh, are there any publications we might know about that have used images created in Krita? There are so many! We got sent a copy of a book on American wild birds. That was entirely done in Krita. Wow, cool. Talk a little bit about yourself. What role did you play in the creation of Krita? This year Krita is 25 years old. Which meant I wasn't there at the absolute beginning. So, in 2003, my parents gave me for my birthday a really small graphics tablet, a Wacom Graphire. And I wanted to use it to draw a map for a fantasy novel I was writing back then. The novel never got finished, because of course I wanted to use Linux as my desktop operating system. And I sort of couldn't get into GIMP, and I started looking around for an application other than GIMP that I could maybe improve or could maybe be good enough. Well, I found Krita. In 2003, it had already gone through three names: KImageShop. That didn't last long. Krayon. That didn't last long either. And it was finally called Krita. It has also gone through three complete rewrites. So when I started working on Krita in 2003, it didn't even have a brush tool. You could open images, add images as layers, and move the layers around. And that was everything. So, it was a really good place to get started. Except, of course, that it turns out that I'm not a genius. I'm not even a computer scientist. I mean, I'm a linguist. And writing a good brush engine is pretty difficult. So, I started blogging about how I was completely failing at creating a nice brush engine. And how is was failing. That turned out to be a turning point for the project because people saw that: "Oh, there's someone working on it, and they're not making any progress, mmm, I will take a look as well." They started getting enthusiastic and pretty soon after 2004, we already had our fourth complete core rewrite. So that's how I got started. So how many people were involved in the Krita community by that time? Mid 2004, it was about a dozen. Krita was still part of KOffice, which was KDE's suite of productivity applications. And KOffice developed that still, because they were porting from one document format to another document format. But suddenly there was an application that we really wanted to release. And that's when KOffice got released again as well. So it's a bit hard to say how many people are actually working on Krita because there were also some people working on the core libraries that every application used, but say a dozen. And can you speak a little bit about how the community evolved since? Yes. Until around 2006, we didn't really have a focus. Krita was a GIMP clone or a Photoshop clone. And, in 2006, David Revoy, a French artist who only uses free software, tried Krita, and he told us it's no good. While we thought we had quite a nice application by then. Afterwards, we started taking this very seriously. So, when we have a sprint, we also invite artists. We actually videotape the artists working with Krita. And that's for the developers a really nice way of getting to know where the bottlenecks are for users. So because we involved artists, our developer community also started to grow. At some point of time, most growth came through Google Summer of Code, but those days are over. That program is not doing a lot anymore. We've only got one student this year. So that started the second phase. Let's make Krita good enough for David Revoy. We also invited Peter Sicking to a print. Peter Sicking is the guy who was involved in defining the mission statement for GIMP. He sat down with us and asked us: "What do you really want to do?" Make Krita good for David Revoy. That's a bit thin as a mission statement. So we came up with we want to make Krita purely a painting application. Sure, there are filters and other stuff, but if it's good for painting, it goes in. So we started working on that and that took quite a long time to get there, especially because we were stupid. We started doing a complete rewrite in 2007 of everything. That was the fifth. So, that continued, everyone was working on Krita as a hobby. Most people were still students, until our Slovak student, Lukáš, was working on his thesis. And his thesis was brush engines for Krita. And of course he got 10 out of 10 because he could show his professors that he had created real software that was used by real people all over the world. And then he was like, okay, I'm almost done with university. What should I do? If you guys can pay my rent, then I can work on Krita full time. If not, I'm going to flip burgers. So I ask him what his rent was. It was like 35 euros a month. So I thought, well, let's do a fundraiser and we can pay you for, say, six months. Six months turned into a year. And after that, Lukas got a job at a different company, but it started sponsored development. And that's been really important for the growth of our community, because by now there are six people working full time on Krita. The second student we hired on graduation was Dmitry Kazakov, a Russian guy, and he's currently our lead developer. So because we're all there, lots of volunteer developers can see that their patches and merge requests get reviewed, they get merged and that makes people happy. So we have a really healthy mix right now of sponsors and volunteer developers. That sounds great. You mentioned sprints a couple of times, can you tell us a little bit more about how that is organized? In theory, we organize one big sprint a year. Of course, it hasn't been possible. Some people have had to flee Russia, for instance. So visa problems are real problems. And the way it mostly used to happen was I would invite everyone to Deventer, have some people sleep upstairs, in our spare bedrooms. And the rest would go to Hotel Royale in Deventer, which has two big rooms on the top floor. Then we'd go down in the cellar of the church. It's a 12th century cellar. Really roomy, and we would just do some hacking, then do a meeting. And in the evenings, we would go out for dinner, and just get to know each other better. One thing that I really miss about sprints, or rather not having sprints, is the time we would spend in my study over there. Just, just a couple of us. The rest would be hacking around. And we would try to just go through the list of bug reports. And for us, sprints are fun. We also invite developers, artists, documentation writers. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. So, if a new contributor would like to join Krita, what would be the typical on ramps that they could come into? It used to be that people would mostly join us on IRC. Nowadays, we also have Matrix, because building Krita from scratch is not easy. But we've got a great manual for that by now. So either people join us on IRC and ask for help building Krita, and then maybe ask, do you know a nice bug or feature ish that I could start working on? And then we, we'd help them with that. But these days it's mostly people who out of the blue, post a merge request on KDE's GitLab instance. And then we're "Oh, this person from Serbia, this person from Denmark, they have suddenly have a really nice patch!" And sometimes a patch needs to be improved. Sometimes it can go in as is. And then we try to get them, in our chat channel, because that's still the place where we have most development discussions. And the mailing list is almost dead, but that holds for many mailing lists. After that, once you've got three merge requests in Krita, merged into Krita, we will ask you: "Do you want to have a developer account, so you can review other people's work, merge it, get full access to everything?" And sometimes they are "Yes, I've always wanted that", and sometimes "I'm not really comfortable with that, I just want to send you more patches", and that's fine. Sounds great. In terms of features, are there any particular features of Krita that you're particularly proud of, or that sets Krita apart from other drawing programs? Over the years, we had a number of firsts. Like, before Adobe even knew that OpenGL existed, we had a hardware accelerated canvas implementation. Then, about the same year, I think it was 2005, we implemented support for all kinds of color models. Like CMYK, LAB, also painterly color models. That's stuff that tries to mix spectral wavelengths to simulate the way paint mixes. That feature is out because it never worked well enough. Then we got, I think, a really nice way of doing animations. Of course the brush engines are great. Oh, and this is something that almost nobody knows, but we support painting in HDR. So color values lower than zero and bigger than one, fully dynamic. And the way we work with those images is compatible with the way Blender imports images. So, you mentioned Blender, are there any other products that Krita works particularly well with, or that are nice complements to Krita? Scribus. Scribus is a desktop publishing application, it's also free software. Development is a bit slow at the moment, but it's really solid. We used it for our 2006, I think it was 2006, Krita art book, for instance. And Inkscape of course, as well. Krita does have vector layers, and they are quite advanced, but still Inkscape is a really good complement. Krita and Inkscape are the only applications that currently implement the W3C mesh gradient standard. Cool, and in terms of current development, which features are you most excited about which are coming up? What's coming up is the port of Qt6, new version of our development library. That's going to really eat development time. But again, we've got some volunteers who already started working on that. I'm not sure I'm really excited about it, but, but we have to investigate it. We are looking into AI assisted inking. So you would train Krita on the way you would normally ink your sketches. And then Krita should be able to semi-automatically ink your sketches for you. Because for many artists inking is a bit of a boring step, because when you're doing inking, you're often really, really careful. And that means that the lines are a bit, often a bit deader compared to the sketch, um, Trying to use AI to assist with that is something we are investigating. We are working on that together with Intel because Intel is one of our corporate sponsors. But we are also doing all kinds of projects with Intel. Like, Intel also worked with us on that HDR feature, for instance. Oh, and text. That's, that's important as well. Volterra has been working on that. The text shape and the text tool, like the object that contains text on canvas and the tool that modifies it are of course two different projects. This will implement full SVG to text including CSS, ligatures, font features and everything. And she's already implemented it. And the text shape itself, it can do vertical text, like for Chinese or Japanese. It can do Ruby, which is the furigana, the small, text that in Japanese you put next to the kanji, the Chinese derived characters, so you know how to pronounce them. And she's now working on the UI, and, and it's something we've wanted to start working on, uh, years ago already, I think it was 2017. Actually, I was working on that, but then I was distracted by the Dutch tax office which wanted to have money. And I had to do difficult stuff and hire accountants and so on. And it's not easy being a manager. So that's the two big things that are coming, hopefully: The experimental assisted inking an a super deluxe text tool. Cool. So what does your release schedule look like? Do you have set dates or is it ready when it's ready? Ready when it's ready, but it's often ready. If our infrastructure is working correctly, then we typically do a bugfix release every two months. There have been years when we did one every month, but that was just eating up too much of our time. We try to have one or two full feature releases a year as well. Of course, we moved from Jenkins as our binary factory platform to GitLab CI. And that means we haven't been able to do a release for six months because so many bits needed fixing, bits were broken. The whole pipeline had to be rewritten. But that's done now. So we just released 5.2.3 beta 1. And we hope to do the 5.3 pretty soon, which is a bug fix release. And 5.3 will be a feature release again. I think we've got almost enough features in there. We're only waiting for the text tool to be completed. That sounds great. In terms of, uh, volunteers, are there any areas that you would really appreciate someone helping out and looking into things? Android experts, because our Android expert started at a very difficult university and doesn't have any spare time anymore. And Android is, is a difficult platform. Platform itself, the libraries, it changes all the time. We do have a UX designer, Scott Petrovic, but more help there would also be welcome. And for the rest, it's actually mostly not what we wish to be done, but what volunteers wish to do and most work is welcome. Sounds great. On the topic of platforms, which platforms does Krita support right now? That's Linux. We prefer our own binary builds in AppImage format because we have to patch a lot of the libraries that Krita depends on. Windows, MacOS, Android. If and when iPadOS gets opened up, we might port to iOS. But both for iOS and Android, Oh, we also support Chrome OS, but that's Android. For iPadOS and Android, so tablet form factor, we really want to optimize our user interface for touch and for that we need to have the port to Qt6 done. So that's going to take some time. Sounds like there's a lot of exciting things coming. I think that's all I have for you today. So I'd like to really thank you for taking the time to speak to us. It was a pleasure. Um, is there any things we haven't covered that you would like to, uh, talk about? Oh, I want to brag a bit. Go for it. Because we have about 7 million users. That's quite a lot. I mean, I used to do commercial software development. And most of the companies we worked for never ever released. So that makes it so much more fun to work on. Yeah, that's genuinely amazing. Awesome. Thank you very much. Thank you, too.

This episode of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick is chock full of recommendations straight from my writer's toolkit: the software and services I use day in / day out in my creative endeavors and in my work helping other creative writers. Also in the episode: more hints at what's to come for my patron member community, and a bit more on the situational depression that still lingers since the previous episode. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode Dynalist is my offboard brain, as well as my to-do list keeper and an excellent outliner. Simplicity makes it as complex as you want it to be. First on the list because it's my most valued tool. Notepad++ is a plain text editor on steroids... it's really "double plus good." Scrivener is accepted as the standard writer's outliner, word processor, asset organizer, and formatter... but its "everything and the kitchen sink" nature is exactly why I use it -- and recommend it -- only grudgingly. A free, much lighter, and more focused program is yWriter, which I find almost just right for the way I like to write. Here's an article I wrote about yWriter, especially as it compares to Scrivener. Try them both. Use them both! You may find one or both are just right for you. The free Q10 is my favorite full-screen, distraction-free plain text editor and the one writing tool with which I can most often slip into the coveted flow state. Highly recommended! There are many mind-mapping software options, some free, some not. None of them offer the simplicity and flexibility I find with Mindomo. Do you use a whiteboard? Do you wish you had a whiteboard with functionally infinite space and deep zoom? How about one on any of your devices? How about for free? Check out Excalidraw. Microsoft Word (and its attendant Microsoft Office suite, which apparently is now called Microsoft 365 or some such), is synonymous with word processing (and spreadsheets and so on). Did you know there's a completely free alternative that's also compatible with the offering from Redmond? Check out LibreOffice. You might not ever pay Microsoft a subscription fee again. Speaking of icky software-by-subscription attempted monopolies: When it comes to image creation and manipulation and desktop publishing, the Adobe suite of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are the assumed defaults. They can also be expensive..! While there are free alternatives for bitmap image editing and creation, vector image creation, and desktop publishing (GIMP, Inkscape, and Scribus, respectively), in my experience they're not quite ready for prime time. I use a for-pay suite of products that give the Adobe programs a run for their money... and cost far less of your money, too! Check out the Affinity applications Photo, Designer, and Publisher, and cancel your Adobe subscription! I use Affinity Publisher to design the interiors of paperback and hardcover books for myself and for clients. For e-books? While there are a number of "meatgrinder" solutions out there, I prefer the free, open source Sigil to create industry-standard EPUB e-books (suitable for any e-book reader / device / marketplace except Amazon, and capable of perfect conversion to the format(s) Amazon does use). We're in an era when being a writer also means being... a content creator. And that usually means recording, and editing, video. You can get away with the basics using the programs that came with your computer, or even simply using your phone. But when you want to take it up a notch and create professional grade, high definition videos... did you know there's a free tool that will let you do just that? Once again: there's no need to turn to an Adobe subscription or pay hundreds of dollars for a software license. The free version of DaVinci Resolve gives you everything you need... and lots of features and capabilities you might not realize you need to make really good looking videos. My latest non-fiction book is Indie Author Marketing Infrastructure, a distillation of some of what I teach when I coach new writers considering self-publishing. I mention the day job, which is helping authors, podcasters, and other creators bring their creative endeavors to fruition, to market, and to an audience. Can I help you? Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights: "How It All Got Started" is my fiction serial set in the 1980s and delivered weekly, for free, to subscribers. Get in on it and start at the beginning! My patron community receives the uncut, unedited version of every episode. For this episode, they're privy to almost fifteen minutes of extra content! Want in on that? Become a patron for at least $5.00 per month (cancel any time) and get a bunch of other perks and special access, too. Around thirty people listen to each new episode of this show during the first week it's released. If most of the listeners became Exceptional patrons ($5.00 per month), patron revenue would surpass $100 per month, and I could begin donating 10% every month to 826 National in support of literacy and creative writing advocacy for children. Let's go! Oh, and speaking of patronage: This episode was made possible in part by the patronage of listeners like you, including J. C.  Hutchins, Ted Leonhardt, and Chuck Anderson!

Learn how we, as designers, interface with open source in a sustainable way, how we integrate into different communities, and how we as coders, work with other designers. Today, we are joined by Jessica Müller, who's the Senior UX Designer at Grafana Labs, where she leads the design efforts to make Grafana's Alerting feature as user-friendly as possible. Our discussions today involve learning more about Grafana, what it means to design in an open source way for real, how Jessica got her start in open source, and what led her into working at Grafana. We also find out how Jessica encourages collaboration between the community team and UX designers, and if you're just getting started in open source and want to find out how you can start to contribute, Jessica shares some helpful tips. Go ahead and download this episode now to learn more! [00:01:27] Jessica explains what it means to design in an open source way for real. [00:02:55] We hear how Jessica started thinking about open source, how it worked out for her in her creative career and led her into working at Grafana. [00:06:28] When Jessica is seeking a specific contribution, we learn how she goes about that with reaching out and if there's a specific user base or an existing client base. [00:10:11] Eriol wonders if Jessica thinks that the users that pay for Grafana value design more because of how they pay, if she thinks they engage more with it because they pay, and if she's noticed anything different between the open source folks and how they value design. [00:14:41] Memo asks if Jessica has a structured a way to plan new engagements with Grafana Labs, and she explains their culture of experimentation. [00:17:13] As a designer, how does Jessica go about encouraging the collaboration between the community team and the UX designers? [00:22:16] Jessica talks about the ratio of UX to engineer at Grafana and their approach to balance things out. [00:27:16] Jessica shares some things that have helped the engineers feel well supported when they tackle the UX problems. [00:29:12] Memo wonders how the open source way is for Grafana and if Jessica thinks every organization should have an open source way or if there should be more standardized contribution guidelines for designers. [00:32:00] If you're a designer and want to get started in open source but you're not sure how you can start to contribute, Jessica shares some suggestions on what might help, and she tells us what collaboration looked like when she started at Grafana. [00:42:18] Find out where you can follow Jessica online. Quotes [00:14:04] “How can we be part of the same spirit?” [00:23:04] “All of the engineers are doing UX work whether I like that or not!” [00:28:21] “Having a place to send people to show their stuff and talk to someone about it is already so helpful.” Spotlight [00:38:22] Jessica's spotlight is Scribus. [00:39:40] Memo's spotlight is humaaans. [00:40:27] Eriol's spotlight is the COSCUP event. [00:41:34] Django's spotlight is UI Colors.

Counter Point This show is a counter point to: hpr3414 :: Critical Thinking may make You Critical of the Covid Crisis Some time ago, I did some Hacker Public Radio episodes in which I ostensibly demonstrated how to create a PDF with Scribus. Secretly, I was actually demonstrating how unexpected payloads could be embedded into a PDF. Did the PDF I uploaded as part of that episode no longer contain a payload if the listener who downloaded it wasn't aware that the payload existed? I've been diagnosed by educators as a "life long learner," which as far as I can tell is a buzzword referring to someone who takes pleasure in learning new things. In our world of technology, dear listener, I think this term is just "hacker." And that's appropriate, because this is Hacker Public Radio you're listening to now, and listeners of this show tend to be people who enjoy learning and exploring new ideas, taking apart gadgets to see what makes them tick, reverse engineering code and data to understand how it gets processed, and so on. The thing about being a hacker or a life-long learner is that there's a lot of stuff out there that wants to be hacked, or learnt. And it turns out that it's just not possible to learn everything. Sometimes, you're out of your depth. It can be tricky to recognize when you're out of your depth, and I think there's a certain learn-able skill to knowing that you don't know something. There's a lot of value to this skill, because when you can recognize you don't have expertise on something, you're able to look around you and find someone who has. That's significant because you can learn from someone with expertise. In my own humdrum life, before getting a full-time job at a tech company, I was commissioned on several occasions to build out infrastructure for a video game development project, an indie radio station, a few different multimedia projects, and so on. When I took on those roles, I became the resident expert. People turned to me for the authoritative word on what technological solutions should be used. When I told them, they were more or less obligated to listen, because that was the role I'd been hired for. If they were to ask me what a workstation should run, and I said Linux, but they bought a Mac instead, then my role would be unarguably redundant. They could just as easily type the question into a search engine on the Internet, and ignore the result. Or they could roll a die, or whatever. In those cases, though, it's a question of my opinion compared to someone else's opinion. Both are valid. Because I was the architect, my opinion mattered more to the long-term plan, but if the long-term plan were to change from having a highly-available cluster for fast 3d model rendering to having workstations with a familiar desktop, then my opinion would be less valid. But there are some areas in life where opinions don't matter. Specifically, that area is science. But what is science, anyway? People talk about science a lot, but it took me a long time, especially as someone who largely came from an artistic background, to comprehend the significance of the term, much less how it worked. Forget about all the high school classes and pop dietitians and physicists. Science is a framework. It's a set of principles designed to help our human brains hack the world around us in a methodical and precise way. Instead of letting our opinions, which may or may not be relevant, influence conclusions and decisions we make, science looks at the results of controlled input and output. Wait a minute. "Input and output"? Those are words I understand. Those are computer terms! Yeah it turns out that computers are the product of science, and in fact building computers and programming computers is a form of Computer Science. Those are just words we made up, but they reveal a lot about what we computer hackers do all day. Computers don't understand the influence of opinion, or your force of will, or the power of faith. They just take input and produce output. They do this very reliably. I don't know whether you've ever tried, but it's really hard to make a computer. Comprehending how a CPU processes rudimentary electrical pulses to transform them into complex instruction sets is mind-bending, at least to me. I've sat down and thought about it critically. I've set up a few experiments, too. There's one you can do with dominoes, believe it or not, that can somewhat help you design a logic circuit. There's a Turing Machine you can build with Magic The Gathering cards. And an electronics kit that'll help you build an 8bit CPU. But even with all of those experiments, the open RISC-V CPU still eludes my comprehension. And just to be clear: back in 2008 or so, I was hired to stress test a RISC CPU to determine whether it was efficient at rendering massive amounts of video. I designed tests in an attempt to prove that a RISC CPU could not out-perform the latest Intel Core2duo, and could not achieve the goal (RISC is better, what can I say?) So my affinity for RISC is far from just a passing interest. But I can't build a RISC-V or even really explain how a CPU works. For that, I understand that there are experts. These aren't just people I call experts because they're labeled that way on their shirt pocket. They're experts because they're building the RISC-V, and it works. I met some of them back at OSS Con in 2019. I recognize their expertise, because they're proving their knowledge. Let's say I approached the RISC-V booth with the preconception that x86 was superior. After all, why would most consumer computers be running x86 if it weren't the best? I might be skeptical if I were told that RISC-V is superior for some tasks. Could they have ulterior motives? Could they have been paid off by Big Silicon to lie about RISC's performance in order to hurt x86's marketshare? Sure, it could happen. And that skepticism is important. It's arguably part of the scientific process. Look at the results of an experiment, replicate the input and ensure that the output is reliably the same. But you can't be sure until you've duplicated the experiments that make the claim in the first place. Unfortunately, this often requires some pretty controlled environments, and possibly some pretty high end equipment. The bottom line is that I'm never going to get around to doing that, I'm never going to have access to those resources, and I'm never going to have the understanding I'd need to comprehend all the potential variables involved. In short, I just don't have the expertise. But I'm willing to trust the expertise of a lot of people from all over the world working on this project. I'm going to trust that because they all agree on similar findings, that what they're saying about the design and architecture of their CPU, that there's a high likelihood that their findings are correct. The same goes, as it turns out, for biological sciences. No matter how many one-off experiments discover that cigarette smoking is beneficial to your health, the wider scientific consensus is that it's harmful. No matter how man "free-thinkers" on the Internet discover that Covid-19 is actually no worse than the common cold, the worldwide scientific community asserts that it's actually harmful, and medical staffs across the globe assert that increased cases of Covid-19 cause bed and healthcare shortages for everyone else. Somebody online may assert that it's an impossibly unified globe-spanning political plot, but that relies on a bunch of untest-able opinions and interpretations of reality that fall well outside any scientific framework. It seems to me that this line of speculation makes about as much sense as asking whether your computer can really still add numbers accurately. Couldn't it occasionally be lying to you? The device you're using to listen to my voice right now not to scramble what I'm saying and accurately play what I recorded in the first place is based on the same scientific principles used by those in biological sciences. We're feeding data into functions, whether the function is written in code, forged in silicon, or written on paper as a math formula, and we're observing the results. When every expert in their field, across the entire globe, agrees on the output, I think we do too. It's either that, or we'd better all go build our own 8bit circuits out of chickens and batteries and just start to rebuild. So did the PDF I uploaded as part of the Scribus episode no longer contain a payload if the listener who downloaded it wasn't aware that the payload existed? Obviously not. If the listener lacked the foresight or expertise to investigate the PDF for a hidden file, then they could have posted an episode of their own about how my PDF was completely normal. They'd have been confident in their findings. But you and I know that whatever experiments they might have used to come to the conclusion that Klaatu was NOT a liar was, in the end, insufficient. The payload did exist, but it was just outside this imaginary listener's detection or comprehension. Critical thinking is important. But at the same time, the scientific framework requires more than just critical thinking, just as building a RISC-V CPU requires more than just being a fan of reduced instruction sets. And solving the Covid-19 crisis takes a lot more than just critical thinking and a couple of backyard "experiments." We're not in the Dark Ages any more, folks. Get vaccinated. Stay safe, and I'll talk to you next time.

Panelists Pia Mancini Richard Littauer Guests Venia Logan Brian Proffitt Georg Link Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! Today, our episode is a shared podcast between Sustain and CHAOSScast. Along with Richard and Pia, we have Georg Link, Venia Logan, and Brian Proffitt joining us from CHAOSScast. We had the idea to do this special episode because there’s a lot of work happening on sustaining software and understanding the health of our communities, and CHAOSS focuses on what open source development is, how it works, what communities are, and how you can find metrics to figure out how something is. So, we will learn about these metrics they use, the Diversity & Inclusion Badging Program, and the several areas that CHAOSS has to get involved in. Also, we learn about Sustain, how it started, what they do, and find out what Georg says works well for the Sustain community that brought him in. Also, find out where you can get involved in both the CHAOSS community and Sustain community. Download this episode now to find out more! [00:03:24] Richard wants to know: If metrics lose some of the qualitative aspects of communities by focusing on quantitative metrics, how is this approach not stripping away the heart of open source? [00:08:49] Pia wonders what are the most important qualitative metrics CHAOSS is evaluating. Georg tells us how they established the Diversity & Inclusion Badging Program (D&I Badging) at CHAOSS. [00:14:16] Richard wonders if they’ve found a lot of uptake for the badges and if people have started using them. [00:14:53] Georg tells us how people can get involved besides joining the working group. He explains three main areas that CHAOSS has to get involved. [00:19:53] Pia tells us what Sustain is, how it started, and what they do. [00:22:18] Venia talks about the concept of what a company, organization, or community is to people, and how they want to see something happen, so they ask for more structure. Pia tells us about Open Collective. [00:26:24] Pia brings up doing the first Sustain and the first insights they wrote from the meeting about maintainers. [00:28:44] Venia talks about her consultation services and how she works with other companies to produce community strategies. Georg tells us what he thinks works well for the Sustain community and what brought him in. [00:31:29] Richard gives praises to Gunner and Pia for all the work they’ve done with Sustain, and Pia shares with us about having concerns the first time they did an event with a lot of people.

Panelists Justin Dorfman | Richard Littauer Guest Melissa Logan Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! Our special guest today is Melissa Logan, Founder of Constantia.io, a marketing consultancy that focuses on open source and enterprise tech companies. She pioneered the role of open source marketer that helped fuel the rise of open source software development. She also launched the Sexism Field Guide to help people identify and confront all forms of sexism. We will learn why Melissa created Constantia, her work at The Linux Foundation, Apache Cassandra, and Isilon. Also, Melissa talks about having the right personality to do marketing in a community and why she thinks about the community like a prism. Download this episode now to find out more! [00:00:48] Melissa tells us all about Constantia and why she created it. [00:02:30] Since Melissa has worked mainly with large OSPO’s, Richard wonders if she has had any experience working with smaller organizations or smaller repositories on GitHub type stuff. She also talks about what she did at the Linux Foundation and the projects they started, one specifically called OpenDaylight. [00:06:38] When Melissa talks about open source there are two key ways that she describes it. [00:07:43] We learn about Melissa working with the Apache Cassandra Community. Justin wonders if there was a company that did support contracts for Cassandra funding this or if this was a grassroots type of deal. [00:11:03] We learn what Melissa did at Isilon. [00:13:00] Richard wonders how Melissa gets marketing copy in front of people because mailing lists are important to getting into people’s inboxes. [00:16:23] Richard asks Melissa if she has any insight on how to market somebody who runs a small react library and she gives some great advice. [00:18:47] Melissa tells us how to pitch marketing to open source foundations as something they need to do because the return is so small. Richard wonders if she’s ever had to deal with people who are closed sourced and try to convince them to go open. [00:26:55] Since the pandemic has changed a lot of things around marketing, Richard wonders what Melissa’s had to change with how she markets stuff to get in front of people’s eyes over the past six months. [00:29:35] Melissa brings up the topic of disaggregated marketing and when you think about doing marketing in a community one of the most important things you need is the right personality. She also explains how she thinks of the community as a kind of prism. [00:34:43] If you’re interested in seeing the awesome content that Melissa has put out, she tells us where we can find it online. Spotlight [00:35:22] Justin’s spotlight is FingerprintJS. [00:36:00] Richard’s spotlight is a website (https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html#) with election data that allows you to see what’s happening every minute in all of the battleground states. [00:36:41] Melissa’s spotlight is Scribus.net. Quotes [00:08:01] “At Linux Foundation it was different because it was part of kind of the governance of the project.” [00:11:03] “You were at Isilon. I remember reading about it way back in the day and it was acquired by EMC. What did you do there because that just really interests me?” [00:17:15] “When you think about doing marketing in a community, there are a lot of people who work at different companies, they have different cultures, they have different reasons for participating. Maybe they’re not aware that you actually want to have a marketing effort.” [00:17:32] “So I think what’s really important is to build some kind of architecture of participation for people in your community.” [00:19:18] “What are those quote unquote KPI’s in an open source project? What do we look at? I think things like lines of code, stars, those are all, I think you should just set those aside. That really doesn’t tell you about the health of an open source project.” [00:20:01] “So we really look at share of voice as one of the key metrics in an open source project and how we evaluate how things are doing.” [00:21:35] “One of the key ways that we knew we were gaining traction was when we found out that AT&T had adopted OpenDaylight, and we found out because they had said something on a user list because of course they found some bug or issue with it, so of course that’s when they reach out and talk to us.” [00:27:00] “So during the pandemic we’ve all been trying to figure out how not to overload people who are overloaded by so much content and information because everyone is doing everything digital all the time.” [00:30:38] Then how do you level the playing field for projects that maybe don’t have a charismatic leader? And the way you can do that is to find someone who plays in this marketing role who does go and seek out all these other types of contributions and tries to shine a light on things that are happening, not just with individuals, but in all parts of your community.” [00:31:40] “I remember in the early 2000’s, you had people in the embedded Linux community who were looking at ways to improve power consumption in satellites that were going into space so that was really important. You had needed a small footprint for everything. When they figured that out, they put it back upstream and that was then adopted by people in the supercomputing community.” [00:34:26] “I think of marketing kind of like you’re a backstage manager for a play and you’re trying to make everything run really smoothly for all the other people on the stage and really shine a light on them literally and figuratively.” Links Melissa Logan Twitter (https://twitter.com/melissa_b2b?lang=en) Melissa Logan Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mklogan) Constantia (https://constantia.io/) All Things Open 2020 Online Event (https://2020.allthingsopen.org/) Open Daylight Project (ODL) (https://www.opendaylight.org/) The Linux Foundation (https://www.linuxfoundation.org/) Dell EMC Isilon (https://www.delltechnologies.com/en-us/storage/isilon/isilon-a2000-archive-nas-storage.htm?gacd=9650523-1033-5761040-266691960-0&dgc=st&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI59rQu7327AIVg-iGCh0mAASuEAAYASABEgKNdvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) Apache Cassandra (https://cassandra.apache.org/) Apache Cassandra Twitter (https://twitter.com/cassandra) The Sexism Field Guide by Melissa Logan (https://sexismfieldguide.com/) FingerprintJS (https://fingerprintjs.com/) Election data results website (https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html) Scribus (https://www.scribus.net/) Credits Produced by Richard Littauer (https://www.burntfen.com/) Edited by Paul M.

In questo episodio faccio quattro chiacchiere sul mondo open source con Marco Rizzetto.Invece di metterti una descrizione dei contenuti della puntata preferisco elencarti una lunga lista di software open source che Marco mi ha segnalato.Spero che possa esserti utile.Per i contenuti ti lascio ascoltare l'intervista!Che cos'è l'opensourcehttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_sourceChe cos'è il freesoftwarehttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_liberohttp://www.linux.it/softwareliberoChe cos'è gnu/linuxhttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxSito web riferimento italiano su linuxhttps://www.linux.it/Sito web Italian Linux Society, associazione alla quale aderiscono i vari lug italianihttp://www.ils.org/Mappa dei LUG per territoriohttp://lugmap.linux.it/Il sito di LugVI (Gruppo Utenti GNU/Linux Vicenza), di cui Marco è socio e presidentehttp://vicenza.linux.it/-------fine link da "fanatico" :-)-------Elenco di software opensource in sostituzione di software proprietariofirefox - non c'è bisogno di dire altrohttps://www.mozilla.org/it/firefox/new/thunderbird - ottimo e completissimo e ampliabile con add-ons client di posta elettronica. I profili degli "utenti" possono anche essere migrati da un sistema a un altro (ache cambiando sistema operativo) abbastanza semplicementehttps://www.thunderbird.net/it/Libreoffice - al posto di ms officehttps://it.libreoffice.org/Gimp - al posto di Photoshop (o altro editor immagini)https://www.gimp.org/Riguardo a gimp c'è un sito della comuità italiana (lo amministra un socio del Ligvi, Andrea Lazzarotto):https://gimpitalia.it/forum/Krita - è un editor di immagini, indirizzato sopratutto agli illustratori (penneli, strumenti di disegno), ma ottimo anche per la modifica delle immagini)https://krita.org/en/Darktable - ottimo software per sviluppare le immagini digitali dal formato raw (e anche jpg), in stile Lightroom (e dai nomi si capisce quanto gli sviluppatori siano "fanatici").https://www.darktable.org/Rawtherapee - sviluppo file raw (come darktable), estremamente potente ma meno "user friendly", comunque da provarehttps://rawtherapee.com/Hugin - software per lo stiching delle foto ... in sostanza crea i panorami. è potentissimo ma un pochino complicato da utilizzare, vista la quantità di opzioni. consente anche la determinazione e calibrazione dei parametri interni della fotocamera per generare un profilo di correzione delle deformazioni ottiche specifiche... spettacolare.http://hugin.sourceforge.net/Inkscape - editor grafica vettoriale al posto di adobe illustratorhttps://inkscape.org/it/Scribus - al posto di adobe indesgin - è un software di "desktop publishing" che serve sostanzialmente a comporre grafiche strutturate tipo locandine, poster, volantini, libri e rivistehttps://www.scribus.net/Vlc - il classico lettore multimediale, è opensource e legge praticamente ogni formato, e molto altrohttps://www.videolan.org/vlc/Audacity - editor audio... un pò come wavlab o similiSonic-visualizer - un analizzatore di audio... eccellente, usato anche in ambito di analisi forense... https://sonicvisualiser.org/In ambito CAD:Librecad - un cad bidimensionale abbastanza buono, nato da un fork di qcad https://librecad.org/Qcad - cad bidimensionale da dove arriva il fork qcadhttps://qcad.org/en/Freecad - un cad parametrico principalmente meccanico, sullo stile di SolidWorks, con struttura ad albero e editig a cascata. MOLTO interessante, con una comunità veramente attiva e in pieno fermeto e costante aggiornamento. ci sono anche add-ons per l'architettura e la modellazione edilizia.https://www.freecadweb.org/Blender - modellazione, rendering, animazione, montaggio video - da solo basterebbe a giustificare l'esistenza del concetto di opensource. È un software FORMIDABILE, eccellente, estremamente potente ed estendibile in modi a volte inaspettati. Un must-have!https://www.blender.org/Per Topografia e Fotogrammetria:Opendronemap - è estremamente interessante e altamente promettente però richiede un pò di applicazioni per l'installazione.Ne esiste una versione in formato di distribuzione linux LIVE, che è possibile usare completamente su una macchina senza la necessità di installare niente nel computer, e senza lasciare traccie una volta rimossa la chiavetta live.https://www.opendronemap.org/Esiste un progetto "Opendronemap - The Missing Guide"... vale la pena tenerlo d'occhio:https://odmbook.com/Meshroom: interessante progetto di software in stile Metashape. da tenere d'occhio... niente male!https://alicevision.github.io/Cloudcompare - probabilmente il MIGLIORE elaboratore di nuvole di punti. Tantissima documentazione, tanti video, guide e tutoriale. Un software POTENTE e PROFESSIONALE... favoloso!https://cloudcompare.org/Meshlab - modifica e gestisce nuvole di punti e sopratutto mesh, notevole, professionale,... e italiano!http://www.meshlab.net/Qgis - insieme a cloudcompare e blender è un ORGOGLIO per la comunità opensource. Dati territoriali, database cartografici, consultazioni di mappe, generazione di elaborati grafici e mappe tematiche... un mito!https://www.qgis.org/en/site/VisualSFM - programma per la generazione delle nuvole di punti mediante algoritmo structure from motion. molto interessante, e decisamente potente. Un esempio di software opensource!http://ccwu.me/vsfm/Gama - è un software di compensazione di reti trigonometriche, non molto "user friendly"... https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gama/manual/html_node/gama.htmlgama (articolo in italiano - compensazione di reti topografiche “tradizionali”)https://adiabatico.wordpress.com/2010/11/07/compensare-reti-topografiche-con-lopen-source/rtklib - gestione dei dati da ricevitori rtkhttp://www.rtklib.com/virtualbox - software per la virtualizzazione dei sistemi operativi.

Sponsored by Scribus ----more---- We run through the godbound adventure “The Storms of Yizhao”. Quote sine Nomine: Heaven's fury lashes the city of Yizhao. Its governor is helpless to discover the crime that has so enraged the celestial Pattern. The grandees of the city maneuver against each other and plot their own purposes in the face of the city's woe, suspicion and avarice driving their private schemes.The city's very existence is at stake as an ancient law and a present wickedness clash in the skies above. Can the pantheon avenge this hidden evil without bringing ruin upon the innocent? ----more---- Significant to this podcast is that this is the second time we have attempted running the adventure. After our first run through we scrapped the episode and created an alternate take on the adventure we call “The Yang Version” that we felt focused the adventure in a direction that suited our tastes more. To see the document check it here Storms of Yizhao Yang Version. Be warned that reading that document will spoil the mystery of what is going on.
