Listening to @pahlkadot taking about her new book about lessons learned from @codeforamerica and the US Digital Service. “People think the problem with government is that the software was written in COBAL. That’s not it. It’s bit rot and policy rot. It requires archaeology to fix

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

Let me be clear. THIS IS NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE. A polite message saying you’re closed and informing when you’ll be open again would be acceptable

@purewickinc I’ve spent 54 minutes today and about 30 minutes on the 26th trying to get an RA number issued to return a purewick system I ordered on Dec 1st. Unfortunately my Mom died before she could use it. I found it still in its box and I’m trying to return it.

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

Nobody seems to know how to issue an RA number and I’ve received none of the promised callbacks. Their answering service current call I’m on has been on hold for more than 20 minutes now. Supposedly the Sales Rep is also waiting on this line (she said she would).

Today I’ll be talking about the National Open Source Innovation Summit which is where I am today in Dublin, Ireland. https://t.co/xkDNRDBR2y We’ve just heard the opening keynote by @claredillon , co-founder of Open Source Ireland. I’ll be doing it over on @danese.bsky.social

[InnerSource Commons @InnerSourceOrg]

What a wonderful discussion with @DivaDanese, @rrrutledge, @dellagustindev and Karsten Hohage on #InnerSource and #InnerSourceCommons!

Happy Christmas @sapopensource! Thank you for the wonderful gift! 🎁

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

@sogrady Damn! I’m again going to miss Monktoberfest.

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

@LorienMCS Yes, but under redwoods

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

Flying today DUB->SFO to attend https://t.co/OfDp9w4ft7 I’ll be off-grid from Thursday afternoon but up for coffee tomorrow in SF and I’ll be milling around Sonoma 4-5 August.

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

@Clansman2 Surely you already knew about Thiel’s politics. Let’s have a chin wag soon, my friend. I miss you!

[Addie Girouard @trueblueaddie]

@TheASF President @ke4qqq received a large round of applause for his contributions to the panel including the sentiment that communities exist to solve problems #opensource #community

[ShaneCurcuru everywhere on socials 🗳️💙 @shanecurcuru]

@juliaferraioli @ke4qqq 😮Fun fact: @TheASF has an Apache Attic 🗃️ where the ENTIRETY of any ASF project no longer having an active community will be available read-only, forever.♾

Code, history, mailing list, website, issue trackers, documentation, everything, all at the original URLs. 😌

"We often throw around the word corporation or organizations to support open source but they don't - people do? How are foundations supporting the people who do the work?" @DuaneOBrien @DivaDanese #OSPOsforGood2024 #opensource

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

There was a fair amount of InnerSource mention yesterday, which is encouraging

[InnerSource Commons @InnerSourceOrg]

@trueblueaddie @DivaDanese Great to see such great InnerSource #ambassadors at #OSPOSforGood2024!

#InnerSource 🫶 #opensource

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

David Nalley @ke4qqq showing poise and honesty admitting that he’s “only” been working in Open Source for 13 years. He’s currently President of @TheASF. So refreshing to hear honesty when quoting credentials.

[Siri Dhyan Singh @siridhyan]

@DivaDanese Been close to 100 last bit here in Eugene, OR 🥵

Safe travels!

[Addie Girouard @trueblueaddie]

Enjoying #OSPOsforGood2024 with @DivaDanese @InnerSourceOrg #opensource

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

And the amazing Ben Cerveny of https://t.co/e5rcvvj7gn, who was a strong voice of truth and reason in the panel on which he served!

[Nithya Ruff @nithyaruff]

Remembering legacy, remembering giants in the open source community who have created long lasting communities like @mozilla , foundation for public code and @InnerSourceOrg. @MitchellBaker Ben Cerveny and @DivaDanese in one picture.

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

Spending today and tomorrow at United Nations Plaza listening to various people’s thoughts on Open Source Program Offices. There’s LOTS of listening, and very little actual collaboration (so far, at least).

[Danese Cooper @DivaDanese]

Flying SNN->JFK today. Bracing for the weather change. Sincerely hope I don’t melt! I’ll be at the OSPOs For Good meetings at UN Plaza.
