TIL that for some godforsaken reason Google has killed off the
Android File Transfer app - and now the url redirects to a new Windows only app

Luckily once again #oss comes to the rescue, found a decent alternative (which is actually 10x better than the original)

It’s #MaintainerMonth

Ask any long-time Apereo volunteer why they support the Foundation, and they’ll almost always say: the people.

Maintainers are more than just contributors—they’re stewards of community-driven innovation. Their work ensures the stability, scalability, and sustainability of tools that empower educators and learners around the world.

We say thank you to the maintainers who make it all possible.

One thing I don't understand is why everyone is moving from #GitHub to other services like #Codeberg, #GitLab, #SourceHut, etc.

I mean GitHub just works, doesn't it?

It's annoying when dependencies or projects I use switch from GitHub to another service because it breaks building on that specific project and then I have to go fix it.

Can anyone explain what's going on? Thought about switching too, but thought it'd be too disruptive.

In my on going efforts to use #oss wherever possible, this weekend #penpot is getting added to our #selfhosting lab, #figma, I’m on the exit track. The sites abomination was the final prod.

“AWS-LC looks like a very active project with a strong community. […] Even the recently reported performance issue was quickly fixed and released with the next version. […] This is definitely a library that anyone interested in the topic should monitor.”

A Discord server and new GitHub organization for zizmor

https://blog.yossarian.net/2025/05/07/zizmor-discord-server-github-org

In Feb 2025 the https://opensourcedesign.net/ team applied for a devroom to host speakers on design in OSS topics and we succeeded in welcoming 8 fantastic speakers to Brussels in Feb 2025

See the talks on the FOSDEM hosted video's here:
https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/design/

Read the wrap up article here: https://bit.ly/osd-fosdem25

Here's some comments we had from attendees of the Open Source Design Devroom in 2025.

@ThePSF Developers-in-Residence Program now has a landing page!

Today we cover the language runtime and security work, maybe there's a gap in the #Python ecosystem your organization would like to see worked on full-time at the PSF? Let's talk!

PostgreSQL, we've generally heard, is "good enough" for most intents and purposes.

We'd love to know what YOU think. What's stopped you from using #PostgreSQL in the past, and what solution did you choose instead? When have you opted for #Postgres where it turned out better than expected?

To anyone out there who’s successfully convinced someone else to switch from a mainstream app / service to a self-hosted / indie / #FOSS alternative:

What worked?

Pitching this kind of switch could become a core part of my business soon. I’d love to know what aspects of such a change have the broadest appeal!

(Boosts much appreciated )
