Fantastic news from @swheritage that the Software Hash Identifier (SWHID) is now an ISO/IEC international standard – ISO/IEC 18670!

Last year, members attended a wonderful Deep Dive with @rdicosmo and @moranegg where they discussed the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic #softwareidentifiers.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved!

I was tired of counting pins when working with electronics like the Raspberry or ESP32, so I created a simple editor that generates pinout diagrams that fit right onto the board's pins.

Look out for our annual Survey coming your way in early May. The survey data is used to build an annual report on open source in the UK and to establish trends and the economic value of open source. The outputs will be shared in our report to be launched at the House of Commons in a drinks on 3 July - so please save the date. #opensource #opensourcesoftware #research

Bonjour Mastodon ! Une courte #Introduction après avoir passé un bon moment en observateur .

Je viens des #Maths appliquées, et continue à m’intéresser aux sujets liés à la tech, quand elle me semble politiquement émancipatrice : #LowTech, #DIY, #LogicielLibre, #DonnéesOuvertes, etc.

Au quotidien, beaucoup de temps passé à farfouiller de la #Musique, un peu de #Cyclisme et de la #Cuisine

Mes pronoms : il/lui

---

Hello Mastodon!

A brief #Introduction post after some time as a fediverse observer .

I come from applied #Maths, and am still quite interested in related tech topics when they lead to more freedom and emancipation: #LowTech, #DIY, #FreeSoftware, #OpenSourceSoftware, #OpenData, etc.

In everyday life, a lot of my time is spent digging (and sometimes playing) some #Music, a bit of #Cycling, and #Cooking

My pronouns: he/him

Just switched from #LibreWolf to #Floorp #Browser on my #Arch and #Gentoo computers. I swear that it's faster than LibreWolf and standard #Firefox because a lot of pages just load instantly now.
