🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦Last week we enabled PRs on our read-only GH <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SpamAssassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SpamAssassin</a> repo so that people who are most comfortable using git rather than svn can easily contribute. Today we got the first garbage PR, apparently created by some LLM. It includes deleting everything. It will not be merged.But if you are NOT a LLM and want to help with SA, you can now use Github to submit PRs. HOWEVER, I suggest that those doing so provide comprehensible explanations of your intended contributions.

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦THEORY: There is an <a href="https://toad.social/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InfoSec</a> subculture that is hostile to the <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> because we aren't the FSF or an anarchist hacker collective. The Log4j bug reminded them that ASF software pervades the world and so finding an actually serious issue in Apache Whatever would be very splashy. Sorta like how the first overblown reports of new variants of macOS malware always seem to come from Microsoft. <a href="https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114160538473042493" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114160538473042493</a>

Bill ColeIt also appears that there's no <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ASF" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ASF</a> account posting over here in Bluesky either. TL;DR: We need a European sysadmin. <a href="https://www.indeed.com/job/infrastructure-systems-administrator-036d1005bc664243" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.indeed.com/job/infrastr...</a> RE: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kra2h3oodpjktfs4wrayymeb/post/3ljda2ktcrbc2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kra2h3oodpjktfs4wrayymeb/post/3ljda2ktcrbc2</a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/job/infrastructure-systems-administrator-036d1005bc664243" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Infrastructure Systems Adminis...</a>

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦Dunno if <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@TheASF" class="u-url mention">@TheASF@fosstodon.org</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/@theasf" class="u-url mention">@theasf@mastodon.social</a> actually has anyone behind them to post this, but as it is a public job posting and M&P should be posting them to "our social media" today, it can’t hurt for me to do it too. <a href="https://toad.social/tags/TheASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TheASF</a> is hiring an infrastructure admin! <a href="https://www.indeed.com/job/infrastructure-systems-administrator-036d1005bc664243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://www.indeed.com/job/infrastructure-systems-administrator-036d1005bc664243</a>Infra has expressed that they need European timezone coverage, so US/CA/AU/NZ/IN/CN/HK folks are out of luck. US-sanctioned countries also would be a fatal flaw. <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Apache</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FediHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FediHire</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/GetFediHired" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GetFediHired</a>

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦This is one reason I’m glad we've never moved real work on <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SpamAssassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SpamAssassin</a> to git & esp. not to GitHub. We drop a read-only replica there, but it is strictly read-only, with the real work in <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a>’s SVN. We do not have anything like the dev/admin bandwidth to triage garbage PRs. We get slop in the Bugzilla occasionally but so far no one has bothered trying to do that at scale.A <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> project can be TOO open (!) if it lacks governance capacity to repel <a href="https://toad.social/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InfoSec</a> threats. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@ocefpaf/113949783224650683" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://fosstodon.org/@ocefpaf/113949783224650683</a>

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦No, I'm not a coder by trade. Yes, I am an <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> member, a member of the SpamAssassin PMC, and very minor contributor to a few other <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> packages, most not part of ASF. No, none of those require being a professional software developer. Most of my coding IRL predates the dominance of <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Github" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Github</a>. I still have files in a cvs repo (NOT the drugstore...)

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦And when I say "Like <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SpamAssassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SpamAssassin</a>" I definitely mean all <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> projects, which all (in theory) use traditional discussion mailing lists with public archives to discuss support and development issues. Other <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> projects run on other models but many also including public support fora because in addition to building trust & engagement, it spreads the load of support.

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦Many <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> projects are inherently “unprofessional" because they are maintained by a few volunteers rather than anything one could call an organization. I see this in some (not all) <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> projects, e.g. SpamAssassin. The project is old enough that there’s been LOTS of contributor churn, including the original authors. The simplest bugs are all fixed. It's Perl. We have day jobs. I periodically need to explain this to users who expect us to work like an actual software company. Nope. All bozos…

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦I won’t be in Denver because my circumstances make travel infeasible, but I hear that <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ASF</a> conferences are worthwhile events. If you’re in the <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> community, you should consider going. You might also consider becoming an ASF contributor, we have LOTS of projects to choose from. <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Apache</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/CommunityOverCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CommunityOverCode</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/TheConferenceFormerlyKnownAsApacheCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TheConferenceFormerlyKnownAsApacheCon</a> (P.S.: I hear that we’re nicer than some other orgs building free software but I couldn’t possibly say such a thing. ) <a href="https://mastodon.social/@rbowen/113007345453007047" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://mastodon.social/@rbowen/113007345453007047</a>
