@nixCraft yep, yep and yep.
30+ years in IT = now 8 years on a farm.
And only working for/with paid #FOSS.

good work which /makes sense/ - and farming equipment sustains scratches and outlives 50+ years - and can be maintained and repaired.
Most importantly (IMO):
producing good and healthy FOOD is actually something I'm proud to show and teach my kids.

With my squishy ☕-adled brain I forgot which large #FOSS project(s) recently chose for #Forgejo adoption to migrate away from either #Gitlab, #Github, or #Atlassian code forges. Can anyone enlighten me?
@forgejo this may be a good one for delightful forgejo curated list. Add an "Major adopters" section..
Our #LibreOffice Conference 2025 is coming up in Budapest from 4 – 6 September: https://conference.libreoffice.org/2025/ – But there are many other #FOSS events around the world, like UbuCon India from November 15 – 16: https://events.canonical.com/event/136/abstracts/#OpenSource

Happy 34th birthday to the Linux kernel!
On this day, August 25th, we celebrate 34 years since Linus Torvalds announced his new toy project. What started as a small, personal project has grown into the powerful Linux kernel, the heart of countless devices worldwide.
Its success is a good reminder of the power of opensource collaboration and the global community of developers who have contributed to its growth. Thank you, Linus, and thank you to everyone who has made Linux what it is today!
@nixCraft
Historical, indeed.
...and thanks Stallman for #GNU:
Without GNU there'd be nothing open for Linus to start with or contribute to in the first place.
Imagine where we'd be at without those decisions back then?
Forced to either choose Windows or ... ? oh. Without #FOSS/GNU and #Linux, Apple would not exist anymore - and there'd be no Google too.
Wow. Thanks everyone doing GPL to provide choice and hope for all of us!
