Dhruv Ahuja says: I owe my career to open-source communities. I'm not sure newcomers can say the same. https://dhruvahuja.me/posts/ai-impact-on-oss/ #OpenSource
Same here and owed in my case. :(

Die angespannte Lage in der IT-Branche führt dazu, dass viele langjährige Partner der @FrOSCon dieses Jahr keinen Stand buchen. Dadurch fehlt ein wichtiger Teil des Budgets, um die Messe wie geplant stattfinden zu lassen.

Und genau hier kommen wir ins Spiel – denn wir möchten, dass ihr uns auch dieses Jahr wieder auf der FrOSCon besuchen könnt. Deshalb unterstützen wir diesen Spendenaufruf.

Helft mit, die FrOSCon am Leben zu erhalten: https://froscon.org/cfp/cfpartners/

it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I also submitted a story to undeadly.org though I will let one of the other editors publish it after review as a sanity check. I think I corrected all my typos and HTML tags yet at least a second set of eyes is good idea.

Ja, ich kenne die Snap-Debatte.
Aber Canonical gehört für mich zu den wenigen Akteuren, die das Versprechen von Open Source im Enterprise-Maßstab tatsächlich einlösen, statt nur Folien darüber zu produzieren. Genau das will ich mir aus der Nähe ansehen.

Auf der Agenda stehen Virtualisierungsalternativen, Ubuntu Pro und Kubernetes. Im Homelab dieselben Fragen wie im Rechenzentrum, nur mit kleinerem Stromzähler. Ein richtig guter Tag also.

Falls jemand aus dem Fediverse ebenfalls vor Ort ist: meldet euch unbedingt. Ich nehme mir den Tag bewusst für gute Gespräche.
