Please help.

Thank you to anyone who boosts or donates.

SUCCES!

Hvor er det skønt, når det man har arbejdet på i månedsvis, bliver en succes!

Semaphors webinar ” Ud af tech-giganternes kløer – Hvordan din organisation kan frigøre sig fra afhængighed af store tech-virksomheder” var en stor succes.

Deltagerne stillede mange gode og relevante spørgsmål, hvilket tyder på, at digital uafhængighed er noget, der optager flere og flere virksomheder.

En stor tak skal der lyde til Jens Kjellerup fra Ballerup Kommune, der delte ud af sin store erfaring med open source. Det er en lige så stor del af hans DNA som Semaphors. Dejligt

Spørgelysten var så stor, at Tobias @fonsmark har tilbudt at fortsætte sine digitale åbent hus arrangementer alle fredage i april også (kl. 13.00). Her er der mulighed for at fortsætte snakken fra webinaret, og stille alle de spørgsmål du måske har brændt inde med.

Kommunerne står over for et stort arbejde med licensprofilering, hvor både mailkonti og Officepakker står for skud

Stigende priser har tvunget kommunerne til at tænke kreativt

Færre mailkonti, mindre Office-pakker og mere #opensource

Det kan være realiteten, efter en ny aftale om standardsoftware gør det muligt at skræddersy Microsoft-licenserne i kommunerne

Det fortæller Henrik Brix, der er formand for KITA og it-chef i Favrskov Kommune

Jedna z věcí, co mám na Mastodonu fakt rád: filtrování obsahu.

Nechceš vidět nějaký hashtag, slovo nebo frázi?
Stačí si to přidat do filtrů v nastavení.
Bez algoritmů, bez cenzury – čistě podle toho, co si nastavíš ty.

Filtr můžeš nastavit jako dočasný (až na 7 dní) nebo trvalý (nikdy nevyprší).
A navíc si zvolíš, jestli se má příspěvek skrýt úplně, nebo označit varováním.

Typický příklad: nechceš vidět #eurovision nebo #ai? Není problém.
Na pár dní, nebo navždy – ty rozhoduješ.

Tohle je svoboda a kontrola nad obsahem, jak má být.

While we believe #Accessibility should be a key component of any project from the outset, one of the advantages of open source is that those with the knowledge are able to contribute to projects to help address shortcomings. @wireshark is "The world's most popular #network protocol analyzer", and a fellow #OpenSource project. Do we know any #A11y coders with an interest in #Networking willing to give them a hand with accessibility?

@nivenly, an organization that supports open-source services and projects, has launched the Fediverse Security Fund. This member-supported program will pay people who identify and fix security vulnerabilities that might affect fediverse services and apps. “Part of the program is…education for project leads, helping them understand why responsible disclosure practices for security vulnerabilities are important,” open source contributor @thisismissem told @Sarahp. Here's her story for @TechCrunch
