The @openssf defined a curated list of critical open source projects which must be helped, maintained, funded or be supported.
Libreboot diventa ufficialmente un progetto associato a Software in the Public Interest
#libreboot è un progetto di firmware libero basato su Coreboot, progettato per sostituire i firmware proprietari come BIOS e UEFI su determinate architetture hardware, tra cui Intel,AMD e ARM.Il suo obiettivo principale è fornire un’alternativa completamente libera e #opensource per l’avvio dei sistemi informatici,garantendo agli utenti il controllo sul processo di avvio.

Revisiting an Old Idea: Building a Rules Engine with CouchDB
A few years back, while working at 18F, I created a prototype that explored something a bit unconventional: using CouchDB’s document validation functions as the foundation for a rules engine. The idea was to leverage CouchDB’s built-in validation capabilities to create business rules that could be applied to documents as they’re inserted or updated.
I’ve always been somewhat obsessed with CouchDB—there’s something elegant about its document-oriented approach and the way it handles replication, versioning, and distributed architectures. (Here’s a video I made over 10 years ago showing how to load polling location data into a CouchDB instance.) So even though my prototype remained just that, the concept has continued to bubble in the back of my brain.
Recently, I decided to dust off this old project and give it the attention it deserves. I’ve worked to develop a comprehensive roadmap to transform the basic prototype into a more functional and usable product that truly leverages CouchDB’s unique strengths.
What Makes This Interesting
Instead of building yet another traditional rules engine, this approach uses CouchDB’s native validation functions as the rule execution environment. This means:
The roadmap I’ve created takes my earlier work from a proof-of-concept to a (hopefully) production-ready system with a web-based rule management interface, comprehensive testing infrastructure, and advanced rule capabilities—all while maintaining the elegance of the core CouchDB foundation.
Looking Ahead
Over the next few weeks (again, hopefully), I’ll be working through the development phases, starting with a modern testing framework and a clean web interface for rule management. The goal is to create something that demonstrates how CouchDB’s unique features can be leveraged in ways that traditional databases simply can’t match.
If you’re interested in following along or have thoughts about creative uses for CouchDB, I’d love to hear from you. Sometimes the most interesting solutions come from pushing familiar tools in unexpected directions.
