http://purl.org/rzr/abandonware# #GitAbandonWare : If (...). This, simply, as a rule, tells you why things that have been around for a long time are not "aging" like persons, but "aging" in reverse. Every year that passes without extinction doubles the additional life expectancy. This is an indicator of some robustness. The robustness of an item is proportional to its life

Poison packages – “Supply Chain Risks” user hits Python community with 4000 fake modules

To this “researcher”, even a job not worth doing was worth overdoing. Here’s what you can learn from the incident…

https://hackaday.io/project/9649-port-tizen-to-raspberry-pi-zero# #Yocto project helped me to build #tizen common for #RaspberryPi0 it featured #Wayland #EFL etc if any interest may this project continue in #GitAbandonWare community
Port Tizen to Raspberry Pi Zero

Tizen is an open source GNU/Linux based software platform for mobile, wearable and embedded devices as well as Internet of Things. Tizen:Common provides a generic development environment for Tizen 3 which key features include, Wayland, Weston, EFL UI/UX toolkit, and a web runtime for safely running standalone HTML5 apps. First a port to RPIv2 was released using the Yocto project, then rebuilt and validated on RPIv1 which uses ARMv6, so we can expect to provide RPI0 support too. The major issue this project is facing now, is availability of device to improve support (any hint welcome). Anyway community of RPi0 owners confirmed that system is booting fine and graphic system shows up. If you own a RaspberryPi (0,1,2..) please comment this post to join the team. NOTE: this is a "Work in Progress" effort, developers can also bookmark this page : https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/RaspberryPi [https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/RaspberryPi]

OpenFest2020 - Mozilla Community Portal

OpenFest is the biggest Bulgarian conference dedicated to the free culture, free knowledge sharing, free and open source software. It is the most anticipated annual gathering of fans, creators and supporters of the open source and free art in Bulgaria. The purpose of OpenFest is to promote projects created with free and open software and to provide a forum for exchanging ideas and best practices in the field. Themes related to the free/open art also have their reserved spot in the festival’s program. The slogan of OpenFest is “Let’s share the freedom!” The first OpenFest happened in 2003 in Sofia and since then it is held every year – sometimes in several Bulgarian cities simultaneously. The organizer of OpenFest is the Open Projects Foundation, supported by the whole free/open source community in Bulgaria, many partners, sponsors, and friends. OpenFest is a holiday that we share with others – OpenFest is a gift to all who help us make it happen. Join us!
