Fwd: Announcement and CfP: OpenForum Academy Symposium 2023
by Vesna Manojlovic 17 May '23

17 May '23

FYI We are excited to invite you to the OpenForum Academy Symposium 2023 The CfP is now open until 29 May Hosted by TU Berlin, the OpenForum Academy Symposium will, on 28 November 2023, bring together researchers and practitioners from all walks of the Open Source research ecosystem at an interdisciplinary conference. Submit a proposal, register to attend and save the date Website and CfP https://symposium.openforumeurope.org As of today there is no academic conference covering questions relating to the social, political and economic impact of Open Source. This hampers the linking of research agendas, growth of the research area, and the societal understanding of the value of the Open Source ecosystem as a whole. The OpenForum Academy Symposium (OFA) fills this space. After a successful first, virtual edition in 2021, the OFA Symposium 2023 will bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to Berlin, in order to explore the transformative power of Open Source Software and Hardware. At the OFA Symposium, we will examine the social, political, and economic implications of open source. We will explore how open source is changing the way we work, communicate, and interact with each other, and how it is shaping the future of technology and society. The Symposium will feature a diverse and group of speakers and participants, including researchers, policymakers, developers, and activists. We believe that the OFA Symposium will provide a unique and valuable opportunity for learning, collaboration, and networking. We hope you will join us for this exciting event, and look forward to exploring the social, political, and economic impact of Open Source together. First keynote speaker announnced Andres Guadamuz, Reader in Intellectual Property Law at University of Sussex and technology commentator @technollama

NGI-Zero: EU-funded framework for supporting FLOSS projects Niall O'Reilly, Tolerant Networks Ltd This presentation will alert participants to the EU Commission's New Generation Internet (NGI), to NGI funding opportunities, and to project support available from the NGI-Zero coalition led by the NLnet Foundation. Tolerant Networks Ltd is a partner in NGI-Zero. C. From Peering Manager features to standalone library Guillaume Mazoyer, Peering Manager Lead Developer During the process of writing the integration code for Peering Manager and IX-API, an opportunity arose to extract the relevant features from the main code base and create a separate library. As a result, pyixapi was born, providing a user-friendly and straightforward interface for interacting with IX-API endpoints. D. BIRD 2 - Overview and Future Outlook Ondřej Zajíček, CZ.NIC Five years ago, we released BIRD 2, the major overhaul of BIRD Internet Routing Daemon. I will recapitulate recent BIRD development, present new interesting features, and discuss the future outlook of BIRD development, including the upcoming multithreaded BIRD 3. E. Update from Route Server Support Foundation Niels Raijer, Chairman RSSF Why RSSF is there, the technological advances in OpenBGPD and rpki-client and a surprising way in which we received some funding. F. Lightning Talks These are short updates on different relevant OpenSource projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins(if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net by noon on Tuesday during the RIPE if you want to present an update.

Fwd: Maintaining the Maintainers 🛠️ Open Collective is employing FLOSS developers
by Vesna Manojlovic 06 May '23

06 May '23

I hope you find this information relevant & informative. === Creating a Healthier Ecosystem Open Source Collective was created to help build a healthier and more sustainable ecosystem for open source creators. And a big part of that is personal health. Many open source projects that we love and rely on are maintained and updated by a small group of people, or sometimes just one. The tasks they need to do vary, but the demands on their time can build up fast. Some maintainers might want to devote more time to this kind of work, but fear losing the healthcare and benefits that come with their regular job. This is why OSC is now looking to employ maintainers on select sufficiently-funded projects, providing them with access to things like paid annual leave, healthcare, and sick leave. That way, they can spend more time maintaining their project, and supporting the wider community.

I hope you find this information relevant & informative. === From: Sovereign Tech Fund <info(a)sovereigntechfund.de> Dear readers, The Sovereign Tech Fund is pleased to announce a request for partners to help implement a responsible bug bounty program, titled the Bug Resilience Project, to empower small and medium-sized open source projects to lower their risk of harboring bugs and improve their capacity to respond to bugs as they are discovered. The program will provide services to FOSS projects such as helping projects deal with technical debt, working on known security issues, implementing responsible vulnerability disclosure processes, as well as offering a bug bounty for researchers that discover bugs and report them responsibly. We are now accepting applications from interested organizations to partner with us in the implementation of the Bug Resilience Project. We are looking for partners who share our vision of strengthening the open source ecosystem and who are committed to promoting a balanced incentive structure for projects and researchers that fosters an equal and mutually beneficial working relationship. If your organization is interested in becoming a partner for the implementation of the Bug Resilience Project, you can apply to one or more of the following work packages. To find more information on our Bug Resilience Project concept or how to apply, please follow the links below: Work Package 1: Lowering Technical Debt in Participating FOSS Projects and fixing known issues https://www.dtvp.de/Satellite/public/company/project/CXP4YWL6ZF6/en/documen… Work Package 2: Implementing Responsible Bug Disclosure Processes https://www.dtvp.de/Satellite/public/company/project/CXP4YWL6ZFH/en/documen… Work Package 3: Manage a bug bounty program https://www.dtvp.de/Satellite/public/company/project/CXP4YWL6ZF5/en/documen… We look forward to hearing from you and working together to make the open source ecosystem more secure and resilient.
