Staff spotlight! 🎤 Last week we launched Ragna, an open source RAG-based AI orchestration framework, and the excitement has been real. 🤖✨ To learn more about the tool and how it came to be, we interviewed Philip Meier, one of Ragna’s core developers. quansight.com/post/interview…

What do Fortran, Windows, and the Meson build system have in common? 🤔 With the removal of distutils from Python 3.12, they almost combined to make Conda Forge builds of #SciPy for 3.12 impossible. 😱

Terrific deep dive into just one of the countless examples of great work being done, often almost totally behind the scenes, on open source projects. OpenTeams's underlying OSS sustainability mission is one of the reasons I'm so excited to be working here.

I'm quite selfishly excited for this one. I have lots I want to know on this topic, and I can't wait to pick these panelists' brains next week. 🧠

Its writeability amazes me too. Only language where I've written something of decent complexity from scratch, and had it work correctly from the outset.

Indeed -- the power of generative AI makes it *more* important, not less, to ensure that these technologies are developed in the open. We're looking forward to working with IBM and the other members of the AI Alliance to support a robust open AI ecosystem.

Don't miss this conversation next Tuesday! Cybersecurity has been in the news a lot lately, with a number of high-profile breaches coming to light. Austin and Nathan will have a lot of good info to share. Free registration: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

I really enjoyed this conversation with Bob Belderbos and Julian Sequeira, and the topic (impostor syndrome) is a really important one, especially for open source projects and communities. Follow the Pybites feed for more of these clips!

The voices of #oss maintainers are critical to listen to in the wake of #xz. These folks are the ones who are standing between technology consumers and cybersecurity attacks. explore.tidelift.com/xz-utils-backd…

There is a git command called “git request-pull” that would format an email that you could send to a mailing list saying “instead of me sending an email patch series, here is a public endpoint you can pull from to test my series”. We turned “request a pull” into a “Pull Request”
