Guardrails have been in place where the Firefox browser has enabled Wayland by default (when running on recent GTK versions) but as of today that code has been removed...

It's an easy to use web GIS. Looks quite cool actually.

OpenELA is a non-profit trade association of open source Enterprise Linux distribution developers.

There are many Linux Distributions that are perfectly suitable for enterprise use cases and environments. For the purpose of this charter and project, OpenELA recognizes “Enterprise Linux” (EL) as 1:1 and bug-for-bug source code compatibility which today is aligned to RHEL and CentOS.

OpenELA's mission is to provide a secure, transparent, and reliable Enterprise Linux source that is globally available to all as a buildable base.

OpenELA is a collaboration created and upheld by CIQ, Oracle, and SUSE.

ParanoidFactoid may be interested in this development.

The target of Orange Confort+ functionalities is to enhance user experience on web sites, which are already accessible, or still accessible.

Orange Confort+ provides these services : Typography - user may change: font size, space between words, characters and lines, font-face to Open Dislexic

Layout: cancel layout, text align left, numbering list items, modify navigation links appereance, disply a reading ruler

Colors : Modify foreground/background colors Behavior: direct access to main content on page load, automatic selection of page clickable elements with a user defined delay, page scrolling on simple user on hover.

Be careful, Orange Confort+ does not improve the accessibility level of a web site: blocking points still stay blocking points, with or without Orange Confort+.

And it’s open source under GPL 2.0 !

Make test writing fast, understandable by any human understanding English or French.

If used correctly, integrates accessibility from the development stage. A living documentation is possible because we propose an unified language for developers and non-developers with a rich dictionary of ready-to-use sentences. @uuv/assistant that facilitates the writing of tests by suggesting the most accessible sentences. Integrates several runtime engines: Cypress / Playwright. User-friendly and standardized execution report.

And open source under MIT license!

Just wanted to share here a toolbox of scripts in Shell, Python and Ruby to make easy the work of open source referents and GitHub / GitLab administrators to manage organisations and look inside Git histories.

Just wanted to share here a side project I use sometimes to gather some interesting references to publications, tools or hardwares for my software engineer time.

Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.

It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.

Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

And it’s open source under Apache 2.0 licence 😁

Orange employees in their leisure time worked on a robot to build and flash at home so as to make youngsters learn programming with small games 😁

Just wanted to share this blog publication about leaks of secrets and how to find and fix them in Git repositories

I cannot count the number of times I’ve heard, “This product is X, but open source.”

And I’ll admit it—I’ve done the same when describing Lago. When I’m not in the “startup pitch” mood, I default to, “We’re Stripe Billing, but open source”. Or my co-founder might say, “We’re like an open-source Chargebee.” Frankly, it gets the job done.

Of course, if that’s all there was to us, we would have failed by now. What we’ve learned is that open-source tools can’t rely on being an open-source alternative to an already successful business. A developer can’t just imitate a product, tag on an MIT license, and call it a day. As awesome as [commercial] open source is, in a vacuum, it’s not enough to succeed.

I used to be a card-carrying, passionate advocate of Free Software. I used to see Stallman lecture. I only installed Free Software on my personal computer to the fullest extent possible. I was considering buying a coreboot-compatible laptop to get rid of the rest.

But then, slowly, I stopped caring. It felt really similar to when I decided to leave Catholicism. I started noticing that these beliefs weren’t really actually helpful, and were frankly, mostly harmful. Now, I’m not saying Free Software is harmful. What I am saying is that refusing to use a wifi connection on your laptop because there aren’t free drivers helps basically nobody, and only harms yourself. Even if you are the kind of person who thinks boycotts work, there just aren’t enough free software diehards to form a large enough boycott. And even then, you’d want to do the boycott together, simultaneously, to send the message.

Over the last few weeks I had been preparing a talk on “Inclusive Mentoring: Mentoring Across Differences” with one of my good friends at Amazon. Unfortunately, that talk got canceled because I came down with COVID when we were supposed to be presenting.

But the themes we covered in the talk have been rattling in my brain ever since, and suddenly I’m seeing them everywhere. One of the big ones was about empathy — what it is, what it isn’t, and how you can practice it. Now that I’m thinking about it, I see empathy so often in open source.

As the open source Commune-app edges closer to an early-access release, I've been musing on the concept of the cozy web vibes that we intend to cultivate in our tech.

Cozy community software is..

• Safe – moderated; incremental
• Accessible – discoverable; user-friendly
• Casual – default asynchronous; at-your-leisure
• Present – optionally synchronous; in-the-moment
• Intimate – selectively private/public; closeness by consent
• what did I miss?

Note not OC, thats just the article name
