As someone who made a living out of Java, I have to say that in terms of expressiveness, C# is ahead. Sure, its standard library is showing its age a bit, as backward compatibility remains a priority (just like in Java). It also lacks the diversity of OSS projects from the JVM ecosystem.
But C# isn’t bad at all. And F# is a great language.
Given that .NET Core is MIT-licensed, I do wonder why we don't see more OSS projects written in F#.

Been watching the open-source space in .NET lately... sheesh!
Finally got all my ranting done and ended up with a nicer blog post thanks to the AI assist: https://sadukie.com/2025/06/08/the-unsung-heroes-of-open-source
@rhaen Ich setze auch aktuell #Fedora #Linux ein. Ich muss aber gestehen, dass ich in meine Evaluation #Debian nicht einbezogen habe. Grund: Beim informieren stieß ich darauf, dass von reinem Debian abgeraten wird, weil es für Anfänger zu komplex wird. So evaluierte ich dann #Ubuntu, Fedora, #Manjaro, #Mint und #LMDE
Inzwischen frage ich mich allerdings, ob Fedora wirklich eine so gute Wahl war. Fedora ist halt in allen Belangen pure #OSS. Das macht mir manchmal Probleme.

@osi But when will you publish the unredracted election results? https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025 @rakulang and #Perl foundation, @gnome with the rest of the #FOSS #FLOSS #OSS community demand that you publish them, why the silence? Several former #OSI directors too .. and #OSI members.

Everyone of us uses free or #OpenSource software or services - such as Firefox, VLC Player or, well, @Mastodon .
Do you donate to such projects?
Our June Meetup is just one week away! Next week, join us as
@djhoese takes us on the journey of improving open source software. We're meeting at the downtown Madison library at 6:30pm on Thursday June 12th, in room 302. The event is of course free and open to all, and we'll have beverages and pizza provided by our sponsor, ApartmentIQ.
Please join us!

5. It's the community
If you want to switch to an Open Source solution – and Open Source is one of your goals/requirements – make sure, there's also a community out there. Not just the vendor. Because if it is just the vendor, you're not far from a Closed Source solution.
Gutes Beispiel für die öffentliche Finanzierung von #OpenSource ist das #OSDN
Hier wird systematisch in den Kern von #OSS Software für die Lehre investiert, in Zusammenarbeit mit Communities und mit dem Ziel von Verbesserungen für alle Nutzenden.
@eaglemetawerzum Zní to dobře, ale na první dobrou možná až příliš utopicky.
Asi to není účel té petice, ale podle mě by její text vypadal méně nereálně, kdyby tam bylo něco jako „všechen nový software“ a počítalo to s nějakou přechodnou dobou 10-20 let.
Když si připomenu https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jednotn%C3%BD_informa%C4%8Dn%C3%AD_syst%C3%A9m_pr%C3%A1ce_a_soci%C3%A1ln%C3%ADch_v%C4%9Bc%C3%AD, tak přemýšlím, kolik by přechod na #opensource trval let, kolik by stál peněz, a jestli je to ta priorita číslo 1, kterou teď potřebujem. A to jsem velký fanda #oss.
Co si o tom myslí @evapavlikova?
I'm in Melbourne, Australia for a spell! Hit me up if you want to talk #gamedev, Discord, Agones and/or #OSS!

Southern California #Linux Expo is a long-running conference established in #Pasadena in the greater #LosAngeles area, known for being the largest community-run #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware conference in North America.
This year, Sarah Conway dropped by to enjoy the event. Learn a little about this fun and engaging #developer conference (and find the link to the recordings from 22x, too) in our latest blog:

This #OpenSource guide is pretty dang approachable **and** comprehensive. It covers just about every aspect of #OSS #programming.
Welcome to June! It is a beautiful day in #Seattle
