I uploaded my insect photos from this month from our house to #iNaturalist, and got this new moth species for our property. It's the gold-flecked Dryadaula, *Dryadaula pactolia*, endemic to NZ.

Wikipedia tells me that it's got to Europe and the "larva feeds on the fungus Zasmidium cellare found in wine cellars and breweries."

No, we don't have a wine cellar or a brewery in our house. Maybe one of the neighbours? I bet they eat other things too.

Well, published the notes from the conference I went to last month in Christchurch.

If you're interested in OSS in Aotearoa, especially in the sciences, take a look? Not perfect, but a good start I think.

Thanks to all of the contributors who helped. @jduckles, looking at you.

ZenodoeResearch NZ / eRangahau Aotearoa – The Case for Open Source in the Science System of AotearoaAt the 2025 eResearch NZ / eRangahau Aotearoa conference in Christchurch, Jonah Duckles and Richard Littauer held a birds-of-a-feather (BoF) workshop on “The Case for Open Source in Aotearoa (a continuing conversation)”. This was a follow-up to the BoF at the eResearch NZ 2024 conference. The format was a one-hour discussion. Participants passed the mic around, and discussed: (1) The barriers to open source adoption in Aotearoa New Zealand; (2) The opportunities for future growth; and (3) The immediate things a researcher can do to support Open Source Software (OSS) in New Zealand. Here, we share the main points that were covered in this discussion.

In NZ media news, Stuff reported the other day that NZME had been trying to buy Stuff newspapers but that fell through when right-wing billionaire Jim Grenon made his move to replace NZME's board.
