I don't believe a CoC is the right solution to help people feel safe at events or in communities. This feeling grew stronger in the last months when I had - once more - to deal with someone that I believe I can call a harasser.shiromarieke.github.io
To be clear: I strongly believe that our tech communities can get better at making people feel safe. I believe it is urgent to work on solutions to achieve that goal. But I feel like we can do better than a CoC. We need to do better than a CoC because a CoC is a band aid on a larger problem and it won't help in the long term....
Super impressed by ArgBash, a library for generating code to parse command line arguments in #bash. Well written, easy to use, and generates very correct code that handles nearly any kind of argument your script might need. Came in handy today.Argbash: Bash argument parsing made easy

Now that it is possible to use some FPGAs with a fully Free Software toolchain, I've started to play with them (as apparently everybody is doing these days), currently just with the aim to learn something new (yay for solutions in search of a problem!)...www.trueelena.org
Well, they have lost me as a user. The day my IRC client fails to connect to Slack, I will delete my user account. They already had record of all of my interactions using their system. Maybe I won't be able to move any of the groups I am part of away from Slack – But many of us can help create a flood.gwolf.org
Say no to predatory tactics. Say no to _Embrace, Extend and Extinguish_. Say no to Slack.

Il 22 febbraio si avvicina e con esso la data dello SnowCamp, ritrovo
invernale di Debianari a Laveno, per lavorare in compagnia e rendere più
facile l'attesa di DebConf e altri eventi estivi.
This weekend, those interested in Debian development have been having a discussion on the debian-devel mailing list about "What can Debian do to provide complex applications to its users?"...
Winter in Europe can be grey and boring, and FOSDEM is too short to satisfy our need to meet Debian people; isn't this a good time to spend near the Italian lakes, where the weather is dry and relatively warm, for an event in the SunCamp style?. As the SunCamp, this is not going to be a (Mini)Conf, but a DIY ?MiniDebcamp. Contrary to the SunCamp, w...
Why do I have to be coarsed into signing up agreements with corporations to be able to interact with other people using the internet?
We exclude people from the conversation, from the ability to interact with us when we chose proprietary (and closed) services to communicate with each other.That's very well said!
