Tomorrow I am travelling to Crete to attend the #ESWC. Sunday, during the #GeoLD workshop, I will be presenting the #GloSIS web ontology. Also in the #GeoLD I am co-authoring a position paper making the case for a #SemanticWeb standard for #CoordinateSystems.

Git and GitHub are key tools for sharing your work reproducibility and the greater good 🌱 However they are often seen as too 'hardcore' or developer-focussed to be used by researchers and data analysts. That's a misconception! Great vid to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE

If you are planning to fly directly to #Tartu for the #FOSS4G conference, keep in mind there is a war going on.

"Blogger Markus Johnson published a map of aircraft with jammed navigation on 15 and 16 March, claiming that at least 873 aircraft had their navigation jammed in that period."

Jamming #GPS signals from #Kaliningrad has become routine in what is meant to appear has rehearsal for an invasion of #Poland and #Lithuania. This is not a #War in some far away place.

That W3C fee for small organisations is way too high.

If an local independent news organisation wanted to be a member it would be a huge chunk of their budget.

Small FOSS projects/consultants who build a chunk of the technology the web uses, chunk of budget.

Higher up the tier? Proportionally chump change.

Next time you wonder who or what is driving web standardisation look at the fees for W3C membership.

You'll get your answer.

I'm thinking about porting functionality in the {stats19} #rstats package into #Python and possibly other languages. Are you an #OpenSource developer with an interest in #DataScience for policy, sustainability + good? If so please check this issue and let us know your thoughts on taking this project to the next level 🚀 https://github.com/ropensci/stats19/issues/230
@rOpenSci @mszll + all any thoughts on best practices welcome also 🙏

According to @euractiv_global a final #CyberResilienceAct text will be ready already next week. There are good news and bad news. Legislators seem to recognise the nature of #OpenSource as a novel industrial process. However, projects under the umbrella of supporting organisations (e.g. foundations) are still required to comply with parts of the #CRA. To see if the dangerous upstream certification requirement remains.

I see people on here still defending their use of Twitter.

Stop frequenting the Nazi bar, especially when the majority of patrons want you to die.

How long do you think it's gonna be before they doxx you?

I don't want to shame anyone but can we please be serious about the Nazi problem?
