Today, we're putting a spotlight on the #ELISAProject Open Source Engineering Process #WorkingGroup led by @reiterative from @codethink. Learn more about their milestones, what to expect this year & how to get involved in this video and blog: https://t.co/Ku3Q3YolUo @ProjectELISA

Our engineers Lawrence Hunter and Kiran Ostrolenk by the poster showing the work done to add support for @risc_v vector cryptography extensions to #QEMU. Thanks @SiFive for sponsoring this work!

We wrote a blog post about it here: https://t.co/Qg6wJzWKc4

At @codethink, we have been developing a safety analysis approach based on STPA, for use with complex, pre-existing and open source software. I've written about how this approach is being used and refined as part of the @ELISAproject on their blog https://t.co/sQY8yIK35C

[Codethink @codethink]

We’re strong believers in open source software and open hardware. Recently, we released the designs for a USB-C switching device which we developed for use in hardware testing rigs. Read about it on the @digikey blog:

@azeem As these applications become better at providing us with increasingly-plausible facsimiles of fact, perhaps we need to develop 'large trust models' to complement them?

[Paul Albertella @reiterative]

@azeem This is what disturbs me about the growing use of LLMs: while you are aware of these limitations, others may not think to question the information presented, and the current applications seem explicitly designed to make such deficiencies harder to distinguish

Q.A.D.: The remote control for your Device Under Test (#automotive test rig, phone, etc). A new open source tool developed by Codethink as part of our #LongTermMaintainability #testing journey. Read about it here: https://t.co/gmuQTebqd8

[Codethink @codethink]

You might have heard us use the term "Long Term Maintainability". In this article, we explain what it means and why it's important:

This week we'll be at the @autogradelinux AMM in Berlin, presenting some new innovations for system #testing using #FOSS. Don't miss it! https://t.co/6avSCMPd1B

Really excellent article by @robotmakesmesad with some straightforward guidance on using pip (and other package managers) safely: https://t.co/sDisUefNLd

We are happy to see #BuildStream 2.0 is finally here - with improved performance, remote execution support, and a host of new features. See more at https://t.co/EdxZvNLhsY #Buildengineering #opensource #REAPI

[Paul Albertella @reiterative]

I just donated via @conservancy to say thanks to the @inkscape community for continuing to make their awesome software better and better. Why not show your appreciation for your favourite FOSS?

Thrilled to be attending #RISCVSummit for another year! Very exciting announcements from @SiFive, @MicrochipTech and others; It's incredible how the ecosystem has grown since we started our involvement in the open source ISA @risc_v ! https://t.co/4jmQpOpeDt

[Shane Coughlan @opendawn]

@_kate_stewart rocking it at Open Source Summit Japan as she covers how open source, critical infrastructure and solutions come together. One thing is clear: we need standardized, collaborative and practical market solutions suitable for companies of all sizes. #ossummit

Is "move fast and break things" an instruction or a warning?

Placing automated system-level testing at the heart of a software engineering process for safety-critical systems, by combining open source tools with system-theoretic analysis techniques and scenario-based test strategies https://t.co/War1rDP46R #safety #opensource #testing

Wonderful to spend two productive days at a #Linux #safety workshop in my own home town and finally meet some of my fellow @ProjectElisa contributors face to face! Thanks so much to @linuxfoundation and @codethink for organising!

[Codethink @codethink]

Busy day today at #ossummit !! Do not miss @robotmakesmesad's talk "Integrating Software Stacks with BuildStream 2.0 and the Remote Execution API" at 14:20 ( https://t.co/2DANlM5Z5n ) and @bjdooks one later today: "QEMU: Emulating Your Way to Success" https://t.co/jQPCrSJaZY
