Europe depends on open digital infrastructure. Which technologies are critical, and where is support most needed? We invite maintainers and experts worldwide to share their knowledge to inform the design and investment priorities of the EU Sovereign Tech Fund pilot.
Take the survey by 30 November 2026 and share it with your networks: https://survey.sovereign.tech/eustf

Our friend and contributor @TheEvilSkeleton 🇮🇳 🏳️⚧️ is working on keyboard navigation in GNOME Calendar live on stream! Join to learn how we are making GNOME a more accessible desktop for all, and hang out with our community!
There's a brand new GNOME donation portal being developed, and the language is getting overhauled alongside the visuals. My goal with the new text is to shift the narrative from what the GNOME Foundation funds internally, to HOW that funding benefits the wider community.
Also, I want to thank everyone at @thunderbird and MZLA. Without the valuable experience as part of that project's fundraising success story, I'd have no idea what I'm doing 🤣

@cassidy@blaede.familyI accidentally tested GNOME OS Preview on my work laptop (I made an install flash drive for another computer and then left it in when rebooting…), and holy smokes this is smooooooth.
Idk if it’s just GNOME 51 updates, or something GNOME OS itself is doing, but it feels really, really snappy. And GNOME 50 on Fedora Silverblue was no slouch, either!
I’m telling myself to not use it for work, but everything I do is backed up… 👀
I wrote a blog that explains why why the new #curl security policy to not embargo low and medium vulnerabilities is a great idea and other open source projects should adopt this policy

🥱 Microsoft has announced “digital sovereignty”. Again.
Every time, it’s new terms that mean little when a foreign government can still demand your data or cut off your services.
The stack, licensing, updates and rules stay under Microsoft’s control, not yours. That’s sovereignty-washing.
We go into more detail in our latest article on the topic: 👉 https://nextcloud.com/blog/sovereignty-washing-microsoft-cloud

Wieviel 1000 #Nextcloud Instanzen sind offline o. noch online wie bspw. freehoster oder viele slfhoster denen ein todo fehlt ?
Aber die Kommunikation eines der größten und zuletzt bei der #bfoss26 super gehypten (zu recht?) #opensource Players ist mit "Luft nach oben" wohl eher schmeichelhaft charakterisiert, oder wie sieht das Frank?
"Gibt es schon einen voraussichtlichen Termin für die neuen Versionen(...)?"

The PHP #security issue shows once again how much our society relies on mostly volunteer work.
Look at PHP Foundation @thephpf finances:
https://opencollective.com/phpfoundation#category-BUDGET
- Reimbursed $67K on development work this year
- Received: $642,755 last year
Compare these numbers with the amounts companies have made with products & services built upon #PHP. Our digital foundations are built on the backs of #opensource volunteers. Governments & companies need to invest in our common digital infrastructures.
⏳ 2 weeks left to nominate for the European Open Source Awards 2027!

In reply to @pluralistic@mamot.fr
@pluralistic I asked FD if they supported it and they said they did not and that I would have to use an authenticator.
They shouldn’t have locked you out of the account and their security is shit. Bunch of dumbass jobsworths.
And to say it is not secure that alone worries me :/

@cassidy@blaede.familyGood morning, Malmö! I’m excited to hang out with and learn from people building messaging and social experiences on the open, decentralized Matrix protocol. 😊
And if you have any questions about @roost, our open source trust & safety tools Coop & Osprey, or T&S in general, I’d love to chat!

Come find us today in Open Source Conference in Tokyo!!
Thank you to our community who have organised a booth for our first time in the conference!!
Tonight, on Georges' coding livestream (starting momentarily), he will attempt to port GNOME Calendar's "GcalCalendarMonitor" to libdex! Tune in here: https://www.youtube.com/live/xNIyG-dccE0
You can learn more about @chergert's libdex through the various blog posts mentioned here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libdex/-/blob/main/README.md#more-information as well as https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2025/09/01/libdex-1-0/

Do you have a fingerprint reader? In GNOME 51 we improved the user interface for managing fingerprints, and now adding, removing or even storing multiple different fingerprints is easier than ever.
Note: this feature isn't limited to smartphones!

#269 Permission Admission

@cassidy@blaede.familyIf you participate in an open source project or community, when is the last time you actually read the code of conduct? 👀
If it’s been a while, I encourage you to go find and read it! It applies to everyone in the community, was written with care, and exists for a reason.
Community management and especially code of conduct enforcement is a tireless, oft-uncredited job. Help those folks out by reading, internalizing, and reiterating what they have written. 🙏
Linux Magazine talked to us about how and why we build Bonfire.
What we want next is "not a bigger Bonfire, but a network of cooperatives covering the whole supply chain of a community's digital space", who "do it together" rather than leave you to "do it yourself".
Because "federation, we don't see it as just a technical thing. We see it as a social, economic, and political tool as well."
