Btw does anyone know what happened to the push for #FOSS in #Barcelona? I remember posts about the city moving from Windows to #Linux.
In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:
Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?
I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?
Boosts and ideas welcome!

@Matter Issue nr. 1 in our #FOSS adventure: deciding which software to bet on; #Zimbra or #Kopano? #Rocketchat or #Matrix? #LibreOffice or #OnlyOffice? The only app we never doubted was #Nextcloud ❤️
Server side; do we go with #proxmox or with #kvm? What to do with our HR software that runs on Windows? How will authentication work with FreeIPA?
Then, what desktop OS? #Fedora, #Debian or #Ubuntu? Do we need virtual desktops? Surprise: we chose Linux Mint.
Would anyone be interested in hearing about our #FOSS adventure? We''re a feminist non-profit in the midst of migrating from Windows to #Linux: servers and desktops! We try to be as #opensource as possible, for ethical, security and privacy reasons.
Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
