Listening to @pahlkadot taking about her new book about lessons learned from @codeforamerica and the US Digital Service. “People think the problem with government is that the software was written in COBAL. That’s not it. It’s bit rot and policy rot. It requires archaeology to fix – at San Francisco, CA

@purewickinc I’ve spent 54 minutes today and about 30 minutes on the 26th trying to get an RA number issued to return a purewick system I ordered on Dec 1st. Unfortunately my Mom died before she could use it. I found it still in its box and I’m trying to return it.
Nobody seems to know how to issue an RA number and I’ve received none of the promised callbacks. Their answering service current call I’m on has been on hold for more than 20 minutes now. Supposedly the Sales Rep is also waiting on this line (she said she would).
Today I’ll be talking about the National Open Source Innovation Summit which is where I am today in Dublin, Ireland. summit.openirelandnetwork.co… We’ve just heard the opening keynote by @claredillon , co-founder of Open Source Ireland. I’ll be doing it over on @danese.bsky.social

😮Fun fact: @TheASF has an Apache Attic 🗃️ where the ENTIRETY of any ASF project no longer having an active community will be available read-only, forever.♾
Code, history, mailing list, website, issue trackers, documentation, everything, all at the original URLs. 😌

"We often throw around the word corporation or organizations to support open source but they don't - people do? How are foundations supporting the people who do the work?" @DuaneOBrien @DivaDanese #OSPOsforGood2024 #opensource
There was a fair amount of InnerSource mention yesterday, which is encouraging

Been close to 100 last bit here in Eugene, OR 🥵
Safe travels!
And the amazing Ben Cerveny of publiccode.net, who was a strong voice of truth and reason in the panel on which he served!
Remembering legacy, remembering giants in the open source community who have created long lasting communities like @mozilla , foundation for public code and @InnerSourceOrg. @MitchellBaker Ben Cerveny and @DivaDanese in one picture.
Spending today and tomorrow at United Nations Plaza listening to various people’s thoughts on Open Source Program Offices. There’s LOTS of listening, and very little actual collaboration (so far, at least).
Flying SNN->JFK today. Bracing for the weather change. Sincerely hope I don’t melt! I’ll be at the OSPOs For Good meetings at UN Plaza.
Flying today SFO-> LAX on @SouthwestAir 1337
Two carryons. The same two I have carried for millions of miles. I’m supposed to get on the plane 5th, but as I step up to scan the gate agent wants me to check one of my carryons. She pulls me out of line to force this. 1/4
she needs me to put the ID bag in my computer Rollie. It fits easily, but she still can’t (won’t) help me. Meanwhile she checks in several other passengers’ carryons. She tries to send me to another gate to get my bag tagged. I refuse to leave my boarding gate 3/4
