@bkuhn I can't remember but I think that #OIN was associated with ☕ ∃ rather than ☕ ∀

@richardfontana

I have no information on #FOSSY2026 sponsors other than https://2026.fossy.ca/sponsorship/.

I mean, #OIN should sponsor — but maybe they're afraid to do so because we ask during announcements each day of the event for the businesses who sponsored to stop their bad behavior (often listing specific bad behaviors). Maybe Keith Bergelt can't take that heat from us! 😆

But, while OIN buying ☕∀ at #OSCON was the inspiration of the abbreviation, I didn't believe it to be OIN-specific, was it?

@bkuhn wait surely #OIN is not sponsoring FOSSY?

Open Invention Network Shifts to Tiered Funding and Expands Linux System - FOSS Force

After 20 years of endowment‑backed patent defense, Open Invention Network is moving to a tiered funding model and expanding its Linux System.

FOSS Force

Open Invention Network (OIN) công bố kế hoạch bảo vệ bằng sáng chế cho phần mềm mã nguồn mở trong tương lai, hướng tới hợp tác mở rộng để ngăn chiến tranh bản quyền. #OIN #MãNguồnMở #BảoVệBằngSángChế #OpenSource #PatentProtection

Dieses Konzept der Insel-Netzwerke scheint mir für die eine oder andere Community schon interessant zu sein.

#Fediverse #OIN #SocialMedia

#exFAT tiene problemas de patentes en EEUU. De los sistemas operativos libres sólo los que utilizan núcleo #Linux están cubiertos por la excepción de patentes de #Microsoft. Véase definición de «sistema Linux» en la #OIN y el acuerdo de licencia: https://openinventionnetwork.com/joining-oin/join-now/license-agreement/

Los discos duros externos los formateo con sistemas de archivos libres.

Fuera de EEUU de momento no tendríamos problemas. Aún así es mejor utilizar sistemas de archivos libres. Siempre puedes instalarle el driver #ext4, #btrfs o el que sea a #Windows. Lo contrario no ocurre.

Recomendar utilizar #exFAT bajo la excusa de la compatibilidad con Windows no tiene sentido. Es contraproducente.

OIN License Agreement - Open Invention Network

By signing the agreement, community members formally commit to share their Linux System patents / applications with all OIN community members free of charge

#Bareos #OpenSource #Backup joins #OIN Open Inventions Network:
* Simple Purpose
By design, OIN exists to preserve patent freedom for participants in key Open Source Software (OSS) projects.
Single Focus
* OIN supports freedom of action in Linux as a key element of OSS.

@fyrfli if memory serves me right Facebook/Meta is member (again) of #OIN. So it might make sense for Fedi* projects to join too. Last time I checked it was gratis membership/protection for FOSS projects.
