@lightweight @daviding this is something I imagine the #SoftwareBurger concept helping with, in that it could help hackers working on related projects (like media hosting packages) combine their efforts on back-end components, while making sure each front end serves a specific subset of users (eg photographers wanting a public web gallery and simple editing, or groups wanting to host a range of media on a shared interest)

@lightweight @daviding I wonder if part of the problem is hackers scratching their itches in isolation from a community of professional users? I can imagine two effects of this, the software providing only basic functions the dev needs but not the ones that would make it broadly useful, and a loud of morale over time due to the resulting low adoption.

@ink_slinger nah, jokes :-D

@mlg @xj9 I like the idea of maintaining warmth without using up any fuel. I guess you have to consider the energy expenditure of collecting and piling up biomass, but if you need the compost anyway ...

@daviding @lightweight I just did a web search on image hosting packages and aggregated what I found. Piwigo is included.

Anyone heard of #ToileLibre? https://www.toile-libre.org/

They seem to be a French (or French Canadian?) #DigitalCafe like #Framasoft, doing community-hosted versions of libre server software (eg RoundCube for webmail).

@adfeno @adfeno @wilbr @bob Snowdrift is a great project, but it's a fairly traditional crowdfunding site, with a libre focus. My friends project aims to solve the problem of funding critical common components that get no public attention, and often little developer awareness, because they always bundled inside other projects. #SoftwareBurger could contribute somewhat to raising awareness (in theory).

@clacke nope. George R. R. Martin is a script consultant, but does not write the scripts for the TV episodes. Some aspects of the series diverge significantly from the books (characters removed, events re-ordered etc).

@wolftune from memory, the OSI did hold a registered trademark on the phrase "open source" but let it lapse. #IANAL but my understanding is that even if they hadn't, they would still be able to enforce it as an unregistered trademark due to an established pattern of public use in the field of software. Keep in mind that the purpose of trademark law is consumer protection from fraudulent claims.

That same poorly-researched article on "open source video CMS" also listed #PHPMotion. Which is not free code either. From their homepage:
"Redistribution of source code is not allowed"
https://www.phpmotion.com/terms/

I found Vimp in a poorly-researched article entitled '7 Best Free & Open source Video CMS For Sharing Videos':
http://www.phpmypassion.com/2017/04/7-best-free-open-source-video-cms-for.html

Vimp is a proprietary video hosting package, whose developers supply source code to paying customers. After I exchanged some emails with them a few months back, it looks like they have finally got the message that calling that "open source" is a classic example of #OpenWashing, and a violation of the #OSI trademark, and have removed the phrase "open source" from their website:

@lightweight I've been compiling a list of video-hosting packages here:

@lightweight have you spun up any of the other #fediverse packages for comparison?

@lightweight I remember reading Monbiot's book 'Heat' more than a decade ago, and thinking it was good, but too moderate in both its diagnosis and prescriptions. But just recently I took a long haul flight to visit whānau, a phenomena he referred to in that book as "love miles". I'm just as concerned about climate change as I ever was, but the reality of the human condition is that our emotional reality is just a powerful a driver of behaviour as our material reality.

Great stuff @lightweight ! What's the URL of your #GitLab instance? I'd add it to the list I've been aggregating here:
https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/List_of_Community-Hosted_GitLab_Instances

@slackz for some reason this makes me think of #Crimethinc. Except that I don't remember them ever addressing reader as "comrade"

@Nixfreak this is what the 'favourite' button is meant for, despite the fact that a lot of users seem to use it as an 'agree' or '+1' button ;-)
