What was the first open source app that truly amazed you? Is it still around today? #ThrowbackThursday #opensource

The #NGIForum25 kicked off with a powerful keynote by Thibaut Kleiner (EU Commission):

We’re building, not monetizing — much value lost
70% of open source communities are in Europe, but commercial gains go mostly to the US
Time to scale & monetize sustainable open solutions
Proud to introduce the Open Internet Stack, building on NGI pioneers
Let’s turn passion projects into strategic, revenue-generating engines

Happy #FreeBSD Day!

On June 19, 1993, an email thread on an early BSD list proposed project names for a new #opensource UNIX derivative. “FreeBSD” was quickly agreed upon from a list of choices, according to @FreeBSDFoundation.

Thank you to everyone who helped shape this #opensource OS and its lasting impact on #tech over the last 32 years!

From Collaborators to Consumers: Have We Killed the Soul of Open Source?

The Open Source community is becoming increasingly polarized. From the "distro wars" to Wayland vs. X11, the spirit of collaboration is fading. Are we shifting from "collaborators" to "consumers", and what can we do to build bridges instead of walls?
