In this context I would love to share with you a talk from #FOSDEM, which I really enjoyed!

"Lessons Learned from Open Sourcing the UK's Covid Contact Tracing App" by @Edent ftp.fau.de/fosdem/2025/janson/

I will not post a summary here. If you are interested, just watch it! Congratulations, Terence on what you have achieved with this project. Not only in terms of the project itself, but in terms of FOSS education and perception. Truly impressive!

Today we celebrate the #ilovefreesoftwareday!

I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who contributes to #FOSS projects and thereby increases various levels of freedom, including the #digitalsovereignty.

Since I have many product leaders in my bubble, I would like to encourage you to reflect on these two questions:
- How can you support the FOSS projects you use?
- Does your next product need to be closed sourced or can you release it as a FOSS?

Today is "I Love Free Software Day".

A massive, heartfelt thank you to each of you who spends time writing, maintaining, documenting, or supporting Free software.

I am genuinely amazed by just how much one can do with Free software:
