I'm hoping to be posting more about it this year than last.

We're several months out but I've mvoed The #30DayFOSSChallenge to a github page and a subdomain, so that it no longer relies on just me (and could maybe be expanded to other pages in the future:
The #30DayFOSSChallenge this year will be interesting... I have very little left to #FOSS-ify in my life. I'm leaning towards the following goals:
* Contribute to certain projects (like OSM) to make them more useful to me
* Reduce reliance on hosting companies and either self host at home or use #sneakernet solutions (not strictly Foss related but it does help reduce potential proprietary reliance)
* Educate/support others
* See what's new in FOSS since last time (especially games)
Wow I just realized how close April is, which means it's time for #30DayFOSSChallenge again already. I'll try to put something together for it this weekend. But for now, here's last year's version of the site: https://nullarch.com/30DayFOSSChallenge.html
And here's my blog about it: https://nullarch.com/blog/
@answeradams oh this rules, their explainer is a lot better than the one I made for #30dayfosschallenge: https://nullarch.com/30DayFOSSChallenge.html
RichTo wrap up my #30DayFOSSChallenge I've made donations to the lovely people at @signalapp @organicmaps and @mozilla - may I encourage you to do the same!
My #30DayFOSSChallenge has come to an end! Here's how I got on:
Thanks @nix @davidoclubb and everyone who helped me.
To round out #30DayFOSSChallenge, I set up #nextcloud for me and my partner as an alternative to google drive. One usage I didn't anticipate but already found - nextcloud integrates very easily with any phone app that accesses local files. So I can store music or, in this case, an #audiobook (#drm free from libro.fm!) on nextcloud and stream it to an app for playback. For the audiobook, I'm using Voice Audiobook Player: https://github.com/PaulWoitaschek/Voice
Being drawn back to #GoogleMaps again by easy search by category (e.g. 'restaurant Cardiff') and customer reviews.
Would love to see #OpenStreetMap improve/add this functionality.
It's been a more challenging week in my #30DayFOSSChallenge but some good learning too!
