FSF to Acquire OSI: https://jxself.org/fsf-acquires-osi.shtml

The OSI, reeling from accusations of election mismanagement and known for its Open Source Definition and focus on practical benefits, released a terse statement acknowledging the acquisition.

If you are interested to help shaping #FDroid 's future on a governance side: please consider to apply for a board seat.

As current board member I highly welcome nominations of anyone committed to furthering the #softwarefreedom of computer users, particularly with regard to mobile devices.

A moment of silence for zunyi - the computer named for the city where Mao secured leadership in 1935. A Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L running libreboot (back when it was still free), zunyi served as my backup server. I saw it was off and wouldn’t turn back on. I disassembled and cleaned it, swapped the PSU - then a loud electrical SNAP! A strange smell. I unplugged it fast. No more risks. zunyi is retired. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the @fsf. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom
