Hi Fedinauts!

I'd done very little ForgeFed work in the last few months, first because of the covid mess and then because I've been very active in Extinction Rebellion.

This week I'm finally spending time coding again, implementing basic OCAPs for authorization when processing a request to merge a Merge Request / patch. So the whole workflow will be possible: Open a MR, comment on it, submit updated versions, & finally merge it into the repo. And all of this will be in the specs :-)

In just three years, our #REUSE initiative has successfully changed #licensing practices of at least over five hundred projects. From its adoption by NGI0 projects to a Corona Warn App to @kde , 2020 marks another successful year of this campaign. We used the chance to speak with Andreas Cord-Landwehr about REUSE adoption in the KDE community.: https://fsfe.org/news/2020/news-20201215-01.html

Thanks to #FreeSoftware developers, the German #CoronaWarnApp for tracing #COVID19 risk contacts is available on @fdroidorg without any Google dependencies. This not only fosters software freedom, but also sets the ground for innovative features.

The last test day for public emergency systems in #Germany was an official failure. We looked at the situation from the #FreeSoftware point of view, and analysed what a better system with user friendliness included can look like.

The developers of Signal are currently doing a user survey:

https://surveys.signalusers.org/s3

I told them that I really like the app but also that I would like:
a) Signal on @fdroidorg
b) a proper desktop client
c) no data stored in "secure enclaves"

Maybe you'd like to tell them, too?

On Wednesday the EU Commission published its new Open Source Strategy. We are pleased that the Commission recognises the benefits of #FreeSoftware and the four freedoms to use, study, share and improve, but the commission lacks concrete targets and indicators to implement the strategy. Without these, we worry that the strategy will end up accomplishing too little!

Are you tired of a centralised Internet where even the #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource video recordings and #streams are hosted and brought to you by Youtube aka Google?

Then join me in supporting #PeerTube and help to develop and integrate live streaming: https://joinpeertube.org/roadmap/

We are getting close to reach the target. You can make all the difference!
