Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!
The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

6th floor on your way to the waffles 😉
It is the second Friday of the month! 🤫
So 😀 Hello, hello turn your #SoftwareFreedom Podcast on!
The SFP is back with the 51st episode and it is all about #PMPC: because if it is public money, it should be #publiccode!
@annabonnie is talking with @johas and the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) about X-Road and the challenges ahead for adopting #FreeSoftware in public administration.
I just discovered how awesome #Podcasts are
Like not necessarily the content, but the distribution tech is usually surprisingly open!
Most Podcasts are distributed over #RSS feeds. You can just follow them, no need to log in or anything.
And since this is the standard and the easiest way to publish podcasts (give providers just a link to the feed), this privacy-, freedom-, and user-friendly stystem stayed largely intact 🤯
