2026.. Year in which #FreeSoftware movement starts to make significant strides in 🌱 #sustainability levels of their projects. By paying overall more attention to the entire ♻️ free software development lifecycle, the #FSDL. But also by managing expectations better between participants, improving communication, and having a clearer perception of potential and opportunities for service & value exchange.

We may see an emerging 🍒 commons based value economy that becomes unstoppable.

Regarding the #vizio kerfuffle, how exactly do they respect freedom 0 (run the program as you wish, for any purpose) when they make hardware that prohibits that?

"The Future of Software Development is Software Developers"

Of course it is. And it is for anyone who can write a neat script or a macro, hack a nice little website together, selfhost that infra, and do all the countless other creative things that happen in any good #FreeSoftware development lifecycle.

If you want to comply with dependency reporting requirements (⇒ SBOM: Software Bill of Materials) for a program of any kind, this is now very easy with #Guix:

TLDR: guix graph --backend=cyclonedx-json <package-name> gives you an SBOM.

To do that for your own packages, even if they are not in the distro, write a guix.scm (instructions and links in the article).

It works across languages and to arbitrary depth.

Today, @conservancy announced #UBoot joined as a member project. Folks who watch closely know: #SFC doesn't take any #FreeSoftware project these days. When SFC started, we were just 1 of ≤ 3 #FOSS fiscal sponsors. Today, ∃ dozens of options.

In response, SFC focused its fiscal sponsorship on only the *most* important projects for the future of #SoftwareFreedom — like UBoot.

Support fiscal sponsorship for the best #copyleft projects, as an SFC Sustainer.

Support Conservancy!

Software freedom is critical to many of today’s most pressing social issues, but it’s only effective when FOSS is for everyone. Support Conservancy today to help make that happen!
