New episode of #TalkingPostgres #podcast 🎙️

Bruce Momjian, #PostgreSQL core team member, joined me on Ep26 to talk about open source leadership—with rabbitholes on servant leadership, the art of public speaking, the power of gratitude, & bow ties

Since 25 years, there is a big conference on Open Source and Free Software in Europe that couldn't share the list of participants with authorities, even if they wanted to. Because there is no registration, no tickets, no waiting list. Why I love #FOSDEM, reason #5409

There is a video from #FOSDEM where the representatives of ZenDis (German Center for Digital Sovereignty) 🇩🇪 and DINUM (French Interministerial Digital Directorate) 🇫🇷 talk about the project.

Alexander Smolianitski, the head of OS products at ZenDis, also participated in two other sessions where he presented the software developed on the German side:

- Note-Worthy Collaboration: Co-developing a Note-Taking Application:

No, it's actually b/c I needed a place to campaign for the #OpenSource Initiative elections and & bloggjng to do it wasn't interactive enough.

I am not sure what I'll do with this account after the #OSI situation is addressed.

As you may recall, @zacchiro, in that conversation at #FOSDEM that you mention, I pointed out that I do think microblogging is addictive and often pushes people toward baser form of discourse.

I will write more about this after OSI stuff reaches safe background level.

@nextcloud We’re ready to help you with #LiberateYourTranslations, and growing your localization community. That’s what we do, with care. We have experience and use cases with numerous migrations from TF to #Weblate. Many of #Nextcloud translators use Weblate with other projects already. You’re welcome 😉

Do you know which sticker was the most popular with Nextcloud users this #FOSDEM? @Karlitschek also liked them, and @jospoortvliet took many of them 😃 cc @jibec @ButterflyOfFire @rakekniven

* Gerry (#FOSDEM staff friend) and myself are rocking this without guide; seeing guides is both reassuring and annoying
* #Train ticket for one hour ride is 10 Baht or 0.27€
* There is no train bridge. We will get out, see about catching a ferry, and board a different train
* End stop is going to be Mae Klong. So we will see the railway market fold up and spread again every time a train passes. For the first run, we see it from the train

The European Space Agency (ESA) operates a constellation of satellites known as the Copernicus Sentinels. Collectively the system generates terabytes of Earth Observation (EO) data daily. Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE) is a free, public platform that provides access to Copernicus data and a range of analysis and visualization tools. A talk delivered at FOSDEM 2025 dives into the details:
