Hey all, I published a documentary yesterday called "Gift Community: A Story About Open Source." I visited the Open Source community in Los Angeles, Denmark, India ... and, yes, Ukraine. I met Poul-Henning Kamp, Mitchell Hashimoto, Kailash Nadh, and many more. Along the way, I slept in an air-raid shelter, flew in Mitchell's private jet, and ventured out into Bangalore traffic. In the doc I tried to weave it all together into a story about "the deeper meaning of Open Source." Curious how I did. :-)


He should join the Open Source Pledge (disclaimer: I run it). The minimum is $2,000/dev so I'd say he qualifies haha


Now with a new and improved title so hopefully more people than you have the opportunity to discover it. :^)

(Also how did the other URL get double-posted? I thought HN folded dupes. :shrug:)


all good;

No traction/discussion after half a day or so, resubmit allowed (tho we'd like ppl just upvoted the original)


I received an email from OSI on February 14 that clearly indicates UTC. It looks like the message was sent to all OSI members. Did Luke not get this email?

This journalist didn't: "I’m a dues paying member and I didn’t receive it, and it’s highly possible that others deleted the email without opening it."

It wouldn't matter anyway as they announced the deadline as 17 February, which would mean midnight local time by default (and should mean midnight AoE, especially for an organisations purporting to be concerned with openness).


Yes that's it, no minimum company size to participate. The reason to use $/dev as a metric is that it gives us some hope of comparing across companies of different sizes, though we do acknowledge different cohorts on e.g. the Members page.


Agreed. When it first came out in January, I did a write-up and emailed Frank for comment. It wasn't until both my critique and his paper appeared together on HN for the first time that he responded ... with a total non-answer. :rolling_eyes:

Technically, sure. That and 10¢ will buy you a bottle of Coke like 80 years ago. B^)


In addition to our 100,000 SaaS customers, we also have 10,000+ (unmonetized) self-hosted users:

Fair Source is working quite well for us. You should try it. :^)


I like your product, but I tried self-hosting it -- twice over maybe four years -- and both times it just fell apart and destroyed itself in about two months after being set up. Proper configuration and regular upgrades as recommended by documentation, afaict. I'm ready to admit that I'm a complete idiot, but I have never had anything like that with any other product. I have my own theories for why it keeps happening, but not having any proof will keep them to myself...


Oof, sorry to hear it. File a ticket if you have specific things come up:
