The third Open Source Congress took place in Brussels on 16 September 2025. This annual gathering brings together code-hosting open source foundations and partners to align on critical issues facing the ecosystem. I summarized my personal observations from event in this blog post: https://www.creative-destruction.org/post/2025-09-16-open-source-congress/ #opensource

@mikemcquaid I do recommend this way of decision making and I still practice it regularly. And I am glad that this made a positive impact on your work!
Our latest #podcast episode delves deep into the EU Cyber Resiliency Act (#CRA). Our guests @mmilinkov, @mirkoboehm, and @ygriega talk about how it evolved from a potential disruption of #OpenSource to a pro-consumer regulation in software. #OpenSource @linuxfoundation @EclipseFdn

New talk (FOSS Backstage 2024): EU cybersecurity regulation and Open Source governance
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA)sets standards for how software should be designed, developed and distributed with security in mind. Any regulation of how software is developed also affects #FOSS How do individual developers and communities adapt to the new regulatory environment?

So... I installed @kde Plasma 6 on an old laptop last night to try it out. Given that I'm a member of @buddiesofbudgie, this may sound like sacrilege, but I really wanted to see what KDE had to offer as I'd never explored it for very long.
It's excellent. Seriously. I can't even tell that I'm using Wayland. It's snappy, it's customizable, it has a great introduction, it looks beautiful, and it's probably the best traditional desktop you can use on Linux right now.
Hats off to the #Plasma team!
@larsmb "Known actively exploited vulnerabilities"... That was actually one of the biggest pain points in the discussion. We all want a baseline requirement for that, but how tough do you formulate it?
Shout-out to the @thunderbird team: Version 115 ("Supernova") is slick and a huge efficiency boost. Everybody, go support Thunderbird! 🙂
Learned a new #Emacs thing (no surprise, I have only been using emacs for less than 3 decades): writeroom-mode for distraction-free writing. Really neat! https://github.com/joostkremers/writeroom-mode

We are thrilled to announce that there will be a second edition of the "Railways and Open Transport" devroom at #FOSDEM 2024, organised by part of the #OpenRail community 🎉
Until 1 December, we are looking for session proposals covering #OpenSource projects and initiatives related to #railways and #PublicTransport.

The Linux Foundation Europe project portfolio continues to grow in a meaningful, impact-focused approach with the launch of Servo, an independent web engine written in #Rust. The web needs competition and the world needs safer programming languages. Check out how you can contribute to Servo! #opensource

Happy to be here! Glad that FLOSS alternatives to the evil birdie exist.
