I missed that #GIMP 3 is finally out. Very nice improvements, and only a seven year wait. Congratulations to the team. #OSS https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/03/16/gimp-3-0-released/

We want to hear from you! What SHOULD #PostgreSQL stats look like in the future? What do you think? Is StatsMgr on the right path, and what else can we be doing?

Let us know in the comments below, or reach out to the team - we want to know how best StatsMgr can be useful for #Postgres users, everywhere!

TIL that for some godforsaken reason Google has killed off the
Android File Transfer app - and now the url redirects to a new Windows only app

Luckily once again #oss comes to the rescue, found a decent alternative (which is actually 10x better than the original)

If you're interested in software security at #PyConUS I've compiled a list of all talks, open spaces, and events related to security!

Boriss Mejías and I just finished recording our storytelling session about the advantages of data modeling (in #PostgreSQL, but applies for any relational database) for @posetteconf !

When it's live, you'll be able to hear him mention "no animals were harmed during the making of this video" - that's because Mama Lily here is in my recording room with her baby bunnies, and they enjoy pretending to be a construction crew at all times.

Their toys were removed just for the talk so they took a nap, and everything was put back - so everyone went right back to having fun

Register for POSETTE (or keep an eye out for the recordings!) here: https://lnkd.in/gQbQe4qJ

Or check out my rescue Two Rabbit Rescue on Instagram (@2rabbitrescue), Mastodon (@2rabbitrescue@mastodon.social), or Facebook (@two-rabbit-rescue) to keep an eye out for when Mama Lily and her kids are adoptable (or if you just want to see more bunny cuteness!)

Al parecer #Huawei quiere ganarse la total independencia de las #patentes occidentales

Primero fue el #OS, al crear su propia versión a partir del #OSS de #android (ya vemos que #Google le esta instalando mas y mas cadenas)

Después le llego el turno a los #chips principales y a los de #IA

Hace unas semanas nos enterábamos de que habían desarrollado su propia tecnología híbrida entre #bluetooth y #wifi

Y ahora ya han declarado que trabajan en sensores propios para los lentes fotográficos

La idea es que para 2030, prácticamente todas las piezas de sus #telefonos móviles sean 100% fabricados localmente

“AWS-LC looks like a very active project with a strong community. […] Even the recently reported performance issue was quickly fixed and released with the next version. […] This is definitely a library that anyone interested in the topic should monitor.”

Future of OSU Open Source Lab in Jeopardy

"Over the past several years, we have been operating at a deficit due to a decline in corporate donations" ... "recent changes in university funding makes our current funding model no longer sustainable."

"Unless we secure $250,000 in committed funds, the OSL will shut down later this year."

https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/

OSL provides hosting for over 500 Free and Open Source Projects from all over the world.

In Feb 2025 the https://opensourcedesign.net/ team applied for a devroom to host speakers on design in OSS topics and we succeeded in welcoming 8 fantastic speakers to Brussels in Feb 2025

See the talks on the FOSDEM hosted video's here:

Here's some comments we had from attendees of the Open Source Design Devroom in 2025.

@ThePSF Developers-in-Residence Program now has a landing page!

Today we cover the language runtime and security work, maybe there's a gap in the #Python ecosystem your organization would like to see worked on full-time at the PSF? Let's talk!

PostgreSQL, we've generally heard, is "good enough" for most intents and purposes.

We'd love to know what YOU think. What's stopped you from using #PostgreSQL in the past, and what solution did you choose instead? When have you opted for #Postgres where it turned out better than expected?

Blog updated!

The Call for Presentations for 2025 is open!!
