Euro-Office 1.0 arrives to open-source infighting: 'Compatibility is not sovereignty' https://www.zdnet.com/article/euro-office-is-here-libreoffice-supporters-arent-happy/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn

I get so tired of #opensource organizations fussing with each other when they have a minute fraction of a market that proprietary companies own.

Extremely proud and excited that @rOpenSci's community manager @yabellini has been selected for a Soverign Tech Fellowship!

It's a much-deserved recognition of her work making the R ecosystem open to all through her work with us and @RLadiesGlobal, and a key endorsement of community-building as a fundamental pillar of open-source.

Many people still believe that Proxmox Backup Server is only meant for Proxmox VE environments and can only be used to back up virtual machines and containers. The reality is that the Proxmox Backup Client has been available for quite some time, allowing dedicated servers and desktop systems to benefit from the same centralized backup infrastructure.

The challenge? The client is powerful, but not necessarily the most user friendly tool for everyone.

That is where OneSystems GmbH (https://www.onesystems.ch) steps in with their #opensource project BackupPilot. It provides a modern and intuitive graphical interface that makes connecting Linux desktop systems to #ProxmoxBackupServer simple and accessible for everyone.

In my latest blog post, I take a closer look at BackupPilot and how it helps bring centralized backups to the desktop. If it fits from a time perspective, I'll also show a small live demo next to my other PBS and S3 talk at @credativde@mastodon.social's next virtualization gathering. Entry is free, feel free to join!

*** Repost on new instance ***

Hello Fediverse,

I'm happy to announce our very own Mastodon instance called "FediBlue", a new friendly place in the Fediverse for all people that are interested in free and open source software, especially Linux, BSD and illumos.

FediBlue is part of our ongoing effort to strengthen the FOSS community by publishing content about it and help projects gaining visibility in a time where many companies try to force their services on users, train AIs with people's data and collect as many data as they could.

Alongside the wonderful BSD Cafe community, where I'm also at, FediBlue should provide another very friendly and welcoming place in the Fediverse. In the next days, the Dark Blue Project presence will move completely to FediBlue.

My #gpn24 talk is live: User-centric #productmanagement in #OpenSource. Enjoy!

I prepared the talk with PM beginners, solo #foss devs, small FOSS teams in mind. Based on examples from @openproject.

I was impressed to see so many people in the audience & did not expect at all that we will have a discussion with the audience for almost an hour after the talk. Thanks for all the questions!

In case you would like to have a chat at #gpn24, feel free to ping me

Development of my personal FreeBSD installer keeps moving forward!

Lots of new ideas and features are currently in the works: the out-of-the-box GUI experience, completion of the Simple and Expert installation modes, automatic hardware detection and configuration (now also GPU support as well).

I'll be publishing a new blog post soon with more details. Stay tuned! 😄

Screenshot of my new FreeBSD installer. The first setup screen lets users choose between Auto, Simple, and Expert installation modes through a keyboard-friendly text interface. Simple mode is currently selected.

I'll start with the #opensource strategy and EU tech sovereignty package, and good things happening and alternatives being build etc.

Then mention how the mobile ecosystem is one of the last frontiers left critically assessed.

I'll share how Google is closing down Android (input welcome!).

And that we need to promote, fund, regulate and perhaps even build open (EU) alternatives in the mobile ecosystem if we don't want to increasingly become captured by 2 US big tech companies.

Have you already enrolled on the Chat Mail service of BSD Café?

## No?

Go read enroll, have fun!

Compliments of @stefano who did a massive amount of work to make this a full BSD experience from the server side.

This Café also runs in a BSD Jail

I'm happy to share some more insights about the project, development stages, integration of the ProxTools collection (like #ProxLB, #ProxPatch, #ProxSnap,...) and more! We'll end up in a live demo of PegaProx, orchestrating several Proxmox clusters, XCP-ng based ones and maybe I'll have already finished another great thing until that date 🙂

I saw this excellent interview with @ohd about the French - German - Dutch collaboration building #opensource office suites together. 🇪🇺

A relatable part:
"Technical collaboration is one thing. But collaboration between administrative cultures is quite another! [..] Olivier humorously recalls the omission of beer during a shared meal - an unforgivable cultural faux pas for the German and Dutch partners!" 😂🫶

Great article by the @EUCommission 's OSOR:

RE: https://hamishcampbell.com/the-eus-tech-sovereignty-plan/

So well put: " #OpenSource is not simply a collection of code repositories, it survives because communities maintain it.

"The danger is that #Europe treats open source as a procurement strategy rather than a social ecosystem.

"Beyond #sovereignty is the deeper question – not whether Europe controls its technology stack. The deeper question is whether citizens control the systems that shape their lives."
