@thattommyhall I did my Master's thesis and my PhD thesis with LaTeX. I recently had to prepare a gantt chart and I could not find a tool that satisfied me better than pgfgantt even though it was for a grant proposal prepared with a MS Word template...

[Adi Shavit @AdiShavit]

Mathematician and genius John Conway, inventor of The Game of Life has succumbed to COVID-19 today. What a terrible loss for the world. RIP.

[FLOSSforScience @FLOSSforscience]

@dsquintana I want to see @jamesheathers answer to that question ;)

[JOSS @JOSS_TheOJ]

We are continuing with the suspension of new JOSS submissions until 4th May to provide relief to authors, editors, and reviewers dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks for your understanding and please stay safe ❤️#JOSS_theOJ

[Agiati Benardou @agiati]

Absolutely shocked to hear about @Protohedgehog's fatal accident today. A true #openscience champion and a really nice person. Here is his keynote talk at the 2018 @DARIAHeu event in Paris. #RIP Jon, and thanks for everything.

@alessandrozompa @3dwasp Do you start from a facial scan of the user? Which material is planned? How do you manage compliance with facial movements?

Sorry, I just have so many questions popping in my mind at the moment.

[AlessandroZomparelli @alessandrozompa]

@walkingrandomly KeepassXC with syncthing to keep the database in sync between multiple devices.

[Kurt WK @thekurtwk]

FreeCAD is participating in Google Summer of Code again this year! I'm looking for a motivated student looking to contribute to almost any area of FreeCAD.

[FLOSSforScience @FLOSSforscience]

@dsquintana It might seem odd but pdf presentations do support transitions between "slides". Preview in OS X does not render them properly but they are supported by most other good pdf viewers who try to do accurate representation instead of optimizing for speed.

[FLOSSforScience @FLOSSforscience]

"EP025 FreeCAD, a 3D Parametric Modeler" is out !
We had a great time interviewing @thekurtwk
from @FreeCADNews about the 3D parametric CAD tool FreeCAD. https://t.co/qWocgVh8pf
