⚡ Stress reveals things architecture diagrams don’t.
Open and Inner Source projects expose problems early.
Closed environments often absorb stress silently.
Resilience grows where feedback circulates.

Inside many companies, teams build software in the same organization — yet parts of the code remain invisible to each other.
Inner Source opens collaboration inside the company, allowing knowledge to circulate and systems to grow more resilient.

Closed source wasn’t always a strategy.
It was the default.
Teams operated with limited visibility.
Control felt efficient — but slowed collective learning.

Open source began as a way to build together.
Openness doesn’t just accelerate progress — it builds resilience.
Το open source ξεκίνησε ως τρόπος συνεργασίας.
Η ανοιχτότητα δεν φέρνει μόνο πρόοδο· χτίζει ανθεκτικότητα.

Closed systems feel efficient: fewer voices, faster decisions, clear ownership.
Over time, knowledge narrows, context fragments, resilience weakens.
Transparency lets tension circulate.

URGENT: Call for views on the Code of Practice for Software Vendors | *BEFORE THIS FRIDAY* | GOV.UK
A friend pointed me to a LinkedIn post describing consultations on AI & Software Resilience which expire at the end of this week. I don’t have bandwidth because of current medical issues, so I would like to kick this to the community to invest some open source & infosec wisdom to the mix, just in case someone takes this seriously.
Me: “…cookie cut the BoM stuff from the USA, and don’t do anything else.”
✨ Discussions: Leading #softwareprojects in the #OpenSource world
Q: What strategies or processes have you found most effective for resolving conflicts or disagreements within the open source community?
A: Having clear documentation: Contributing guidelines, governance, code of conduct. [...]

Technology has been evolving rapidly over the last years. When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, we experienced a huge digitalization wave, impacting software related to almost every aspect of a citizen's everyday life. Telecommunications, education, government applications, e-commerce, project management, productivity suites, are only some parts of the software industries that grew rapidly lately. Open Source Software has been a catalyst for over two decades in the software evolution globally.
🔥 Recent IT failures have sent shockwaves through top UK retailers, prompting a closer look at underlying issues. From Sainsbury's to McDonald's, disruptions traced back to innocuous software updates and configuration tweaks.

🔥There was a spate of high-profile IT failures last week with the likes of Sainsbury's, McDonald's, Tesco and Greggs all affected. The Sainsbury's outage was caused by a "software update" and McDonalds said a “configuration change” was responsible for their failure.
