Has anyone seen (or tried) an #opensourcesoftware governance model that uses a financial market to decide on feature development?
I'm imagining a menu of possible new API behaviors, with stakeholders asked to donate/bid on their preferred behavior. Option which brings in the most money gets implemented.
Seems like it could fulfill some economist's dream of "efficiency" in determining the most valuable use, and maybe also efficiency in pissing off the most users the fastest.
Freedom and Transparency #Opensourcesoftware makes it possible to view, change and share code. This promotes #transparency and #security and reduces dependencies.
Collaborative Development #OSS thrives on #collaboration: #developers around the world contribute to improving #software.
Cost-efficient and Flexible Unlike commercial software, OSS is often free to use and customisable, making it a super cost-effective solution for organisations.
Huzzah!

GitHub fordert die EU auf, Open Source Software direkt zu finanzieren.
GitHub fordert EU-Geld für Open Source #GitHub will, dass die #EU einen #Technologiefonds auflegt, um wichtige #OpenSourceSoftware (#OSS) zu finanzieren und die digitale Infrastruktur abzusichern.
Wirtschaft profitiert – Finanzierung fehlt 96% aller Codebasen nutzen #OpenSource, das Milliardenwerte schafft, doch viele Projekte leiden unter Geldmangel und Einzelentwickler-Belastung. (1/2)
@avuko @fedizen In my opinion, it should make no difference where (geographically) #opensourcesoftware comes from, because we all use #OSS from all over the world and many #OSprojects are driven by developers from different #countries. - Besides, there are very good reasons to use only technical #EUinfrastructure in the #EU wherever possible.

Then for lunch our wonderful UNAM Plonistas took us to one of their favorite spots, a real CDMX treasure they generously decided to share.
Great food, excellent technical discussions, and getting to connect with people who share the same passion. What a fantastic day!

A question to the Open Source community. Which note taking apps for all OS are currently recommended? I know about Obsidian, which is interesting but AFAIK not OSS. Should be able to be synced with an own cloud. #opensource #foss #opensourcesoftware #obsidian @nixCraft
At Jumping Rivers, we've developed a scoring framework to help users assess R package quality.
Our latest blog post, "R Package Quality: Validation and Beyond!", walks through this new framework and shares guiding principles that ensure the scores are fair, flexible, and context-aware.
