This is me, learning to run the digital research infrastructure for our beloved project Implicit Development Environments_Research (IDE). I think I've never felt more empowered in my work. To all the #opensource devs out there: Your work is dearly needed and very much appreciated 💚 #FOSSlove

This is so cool! From Simply Secure & Luminate about recommendations for funders in regards to funder/grantee relations #sustainablefunding: ontrustandtransparency.report/recommendation…

What is digital #opensource #infrastructure? Read more about how we define the term for our research: implicit-development.org/2019/07/29/wha…

At my first #mirageOS retreat for Implicit Development Environments_Research (IDE) – big thanks to everyone here for sharing their thoughts and experiences with me, and for patiently explaining projects, concepts, bugs and fixes . I'm learning a lot! #FOSS

New blogpost up on implicit-development.org about implicit structures in software development: "How to unveil the invisible"- Human-centered design as a qualitative approach->implicit-development.org/2019/10/16/how…

Fun Fact: "Books of a Feather" IS an actual book title, but, surprisingly, it's not about #FOSS cultures, or #Infrastructure or STS, so we didn´t include in our Literature Review. We did read a whole lot of #Kelty, #Coleman, #Ensmenger et al. though: implicit-development.org/2019/10/20/boo…

Shiny new website for the cohort: ✨ Learn more about the (open) software, standards, and protocols that form our digital infrastructure and 13 stellar connected research projects here: fordfoundation.org/campaigns/crit…

Oldie but Goldie: opensource.guide "Open Source Guides (opensource.guide) are a (really nicely designed) collection of resources for individuals, communities, and companies who want to learn how to run and contribute to an open source project."

What makes a good retreat? To learn more, we joined the MirageOS retreat last year 🐫🌴 Here is what we found: implicit-development.org/2020/04/08/mir…

What kinds of #Funding do we need to secure the development of #FOSS and support the communities that shape an open internet? In “Roadwork ahead”, we identify core challenges and propose solutions: …ommendations.implicit-development.org

#SaveInternetFreedom shows how the work of one of the largest #FOSS funders in the world is at stake – we need a more diverse landscape of funding and support for open source. With our report “Roadwork ahead”, we outline how other funders can step up: …ommendations.implicit-development.org

New in our blog: "What We Need: Voices From Infrastructure Communities" implicit-development.org/blog/

What kinds of funding do we need to secure the development of free and open-source software? In our report "Roadwork ahead", we identify core challenges and propose solutions: …ommendations.implicit-development.org Ford Foundation Sloan Foundation

“Funding for maintenance is hopeless.” This is what many developers in the free software and open source community have told us. In our latest report we give some insights into how these communities can be better supported: …ommendations.implicit-development.org Ford Foundation Sloan Foundation

“It is a homogenous crowd, and it will likely remain that way – it’s a shame.” – In our latest report we talked to software developers in FOSS projects about diversity and funding. Read more here: …ommendations.implicit-development.org Ford Foundation Sloan Foundation

Just uploaded: IDE-Literature Review: "Networks of (anti-)trust - Implicit development environments in FOSS infrastructure communities and the future of public good(s) by private means" -> implicit-development.org/2020/12/16/lit… (download via blog, ZoteroBib to follow ;-))

...remember when there were still conferences happening? We visited i.a. Infracon 2019 in Barcelona, The Maintainers III ´19 in Washington and MozFest '19 in London- and only now got to write about them and what they do for coding (infra-) communities: implicit-development.org/2020/12/16/inf…
