    1. Remembering Shawn Pearce
      from Software Freedom Conservancy
      The Git project and Conservancy mourn the passing of Shawn Pearce, a long-time developer and member of the Git community.Shawn joined the Git project in 20061, and over the past 12 years wore many hats.He is the third most prolific contributor to Git by commit count, with over 1200 patches. His credits include many fundamental systems, such as the Git-over-HTTP protocol, the fast-import system (a format which has been adopted by many other version control systems!), and the concept of reflogs (including the beautiful hack of their @{} syntax).

    Right now, #Conservancy's bkuhn is verifying donations for credit to our match. Spoiler alert: we're close; a few more donations today will take us over the top! Last chance to take advantage of the generous match from PIA & Anonymous

    1. Pineapple Fund Supports Conservancy
      from Software Freedom Conservancy
      Software Freedom Conservancy thanks the Pineapple Fund and its anonymous backer for its recent donation of over 18 Bitcoin (approximately $250,000). The Pineapple Fund is run by an early Bitcoin adopter to give about $86 million worth of Bitcoin to various charities. Shortly after the fund’s announcement earlier this month, volunteers and Conservancy staff members applied for its support. That application was granted this week.

    We joined @github, @mozilla and @EngineOrg in an amicus brief in Cisco v. Arista. We argue against unduly extending copyright to cover CLIs. https://sfconservancy.org/news/2018/jan/03/cisco-v-arista/

    1. Conservancy Joins in Cisco v. Arista Amicus Brief
      from Software Freedom Conservancy
      Software Freedom Conservancy is pleased to announce that it has joined GitHub, Mozilla Corporation, and Engine Advocacy, in an amicus brief for the Cisco v. Arista case. In the brief, we argue against extending copyright law unduly to ideas and functionality embodied in software — namely, that imitating command-line interfaces should not alone constitute copyright infringement.

    We filed a motion for summary judgment today against SFLC's motion to dismiss our trademark. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2017/dec/11/ttab-summary-judgment-motion/

    1. Context on Conservancy's Filing for Summary Judgment with the TTAB
      from Software Freedom Conservancy
      As Conservancy's entire staff wrote in our earlier statement: while we think SFLC's trademark action is a waste of resources for both organizations, we also are dedicated to transparency. Accordingly, we'll keep the software freedom community updated about the action as long as it proceeds. We publicly called on SFLC to withdraw this legal action, but they have not. Therefore we've proceeded today with the most expedient defense available to us: a summary judgment motion which can be read on the USPTO's website. As a non-lawyer, I explain in this blog post some details of that motion and its supporting documents in more mundane, non-legal terms. If you are curious about the details of today's motion filing, do read this blog post and the full filing, but I actually encourage you to skip to the last paragraph of the blog post. (In other words, I made this post solely for transparency, not because I believe following every move in this action is worth your valuable time.)

    Our accounting team does a LOT of currency conversions—so we wrote free software to make them faster. #NPOAccounting https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2017/nov/22/introducing-oxrlib/

    1. NPO Accounting Software for Currency Conversions
      from Software Freedom Conservancy
      Conservancy helps project participants from all over the world travel to all kinds of conferences and hackfests (around 150 people in 2017!). Because of that, our day-to-day accounting work can involve a lot of currency conversions. Someone on a single trip might have expenses in multiple currencies, and want to be reimbursed in another currency different from all of those.
