Do you ever read a sentence on Wikipedia and just think to yourself that the sentence just has really good style

"Correct potato husbandry can be an arduous task in some circumstances. Good ground preparation, harrowing, plowing, and rolling are always needed, along with a little grace from the weather and a good source of water."

Like mmm those are some good sentences, that's good

Are there any logo artists here who'd be willing to work with me on making a logo for a FOSS project? I'm willing to pay and you'll also get praise, admiration and credit!

Thanks to @jcbrand I was able to deploy converse.js in mere minutes.

I may have borrowed the http://inverse.chat/ landing page to speed things along 😉

Very well put together, thought through and definitely on the very very short list for the Lollipop project.

Something like this would be great to have for FOSDEM next year

Mitte April Vodafone DSL Anschluss bestellt und es funktioniert immer noch nicht. Warum? Wegen @deutschetelekom@twitter.com natürlich. Sie nehmen sich eine Ewigkeit und
machen Termine, denen sie ohne Absage nicht nachkommen. Seit 3 Wochen haben wir keinen neue Infos oder Termin. Swach!

With the announce of #microsoft buying #github, it's a good time to recall that I've started to write tools for a decentralized forge in Salut à Toi (based on #XMPP), with tickets and merge requests implemented.

It's already working, it's written in a popular language (#python) and help would be more than welcome (check our XMPP MUC room at sat@chat.jabberfr.org).

RT @skddc@twitter.com: If we want to move our free software from GitHub to self-hosted GitLab instances, we're going to need federated merge requests, and ideally also reviews, comments, etc.. This is possible with ActivityPub now. If you want this to happen, you could upvote gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-c

The older I get, the younger 53 seems.

You’re not too old to write software.

End of story.
