Article Latest postPublicTurn Off The InternetI was on FLOSS Weekly this week, talking open source AI and (unusually for the show) politics. Check it out!
Dec 11, 2024 0 likes 0 commentsAre SEPs a Threat To Democracy?During a meeting Brussels last week discussing Regulation 1025/2012 (the law that created the EU standards system), I realised that the scope-creep of standards from interoperability to legal compliance may well accidentally trigger reform of the Standard Essential Patent system. Let me know what you think!ArticleNov 27, 2024Public 0 0FLOSS Weekly 788: MatrixView post After a bit of a gap I really enjoyed the show today with Matthew Hodgson and Josh Simmons - both well known to me - and especially the frank discussions of Matthew's frustrations with advocacy around the UK's Online Safety Bill and the EU's Digital Markets Act. The decision to seperate the Matrix.org Foundation from the Element companies seems to be working put for them and there seems every chance that Element will become profitable soon after a long haul of investment. I wonder if I should go to their conference later this year? I guess it would need a sponsor...Articletoday at Aug 19 crawlPublic 0 0CRA ESR PublishedSome good news here. I have been mentioning over and over to the CRA co-legislators that they need to write in to the bill and to the ...ArticleApr 28, 2024$2 tier & up 0 0CRA Demands Open SharingI noticed that the definition of “open source” in the most recent version of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) goes beyond the Open Source Definition (OSD) managed by OSI. While it is not likely to be an issue for open source communities, it could have a lasting impact on companies gaming open source, especially if this text is used elsewhere.ArticleApr 25, 2024Public 0 0Guiding The EU On Open Source Community TopicsMy apologies for overlooking it at the time, but I spoke at a European Commission workshop on Digital Autonomy around FOSDEM. I was offering...ArticleApr 2, 2024$2 tier & up 0 0Responding to Non-Compete LicensingI'm noodling on how to respond to the wave of non-compete licensing (overt and covert) that we have seen recently, mostly from databases...ArticleApr 2, 2024$2 tier & up 0 0OggCamp Is Back!I'm managing the assets for the UK's free culture festival, OggCamp, as part of Public Software CIC (a pro bono activity)...ImageMar 31, 2024$2 tier & up 1 1Dnsmasq on FLOSS Weekly 776This week I was back co-hosting FLOSS Weekly 776 with Jonathan Bennett, interviewing Simon Kelley to talk about Dnsmasq and more. I had not realised just how far back this tool went, but the name arises from when we all started using NAT to share TCP/IP connections - the name is a riff on the original name of NAT, "IP Masquerading".ImageMar 30, 2024Public 0 0First FLOSS Weekly at HackadayFortunately the folks at Hackaday wanted the stature of the FLOSS Weekly podcast in their portfolio! We ran the first ever show over there this week, and I thought it went well. We interviewed Neal Gompa of Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE and more and roamed into the way the character of open source consuming companies seemed to be generational. It was such a fascinating conversation that we forgot to talk about Linux at all, so that will happen next week!ArticleDec 22, 2023Public 0 1Last FLOSS Weekly at TWIT.tvSomewhat unexpectedly, the management at TWIT.tv decided they would no longer host the FLOSS Weekly webcast. As a consequence we got as many of the crew together as possible and discussed whether open source has "won" and what that might mean. It's sad to see the long, long run ending but the phoenix moves on!ArticleDec 21, 2023Public 0 0Interviewing Luis Villa of TideliftI've known Luis for decades now, so we have many things we could discuss in this FLOSS Weekly episode. Here we talk about Tidelift's business model, the impact of AI and the ethics of using open source software to train it, and the inevitability of regulation of open source and whether it's better to start early.ImageNov 2, 2023Public 0 0
