Almost any discussion about sustaining open-source funding boils down to one of two options: make big companies donate into a voluntary fund (never works) or reinvent communism without saying "communism" out loud

The HeiChips Summer School 2025 was a blast! (https://heichips.github.io)
I presented Greyhound and gave a LibreLane workshop. You can check it out here: https://github.com/FPGA-Research/heichips25-workshop
At the hackathon, groups worked on various designs, which were implemented with LibreLane and will be integrated into a chip to be taped out using the open source IHP 130nm PDK.
Stay tuned!

Are we really solving the right problems, or are we just copying existing proprietary products? This is the number one question for any #floss project.
Most projects miss the mark and instead just try to emulate or copy the proprietary product. Considering the man/woman-power this may be wise, and if so you need to play your marketing of the project in a similar fashion.
"Foo done right", "Bar like you've never thought possible.", or similar.
Flip the story, make it your own!
Thanks to the SBC distro I've been brought back the the light & powefull LXQt DE. It's a breeze and a whif of elegance in blistering speed to work on the Raspberry Pi5.
I will install LXQt on my X86 system also so that machine can Fly like an Eagle
Thank you for the excellent work programmers!

We don't spend enough time thinking about how visually impaired people perceive the world or use software. Thus, it's great to see that OpenStreetMap is adding support for screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Sorry, but I'm *so tired* of ppl talking on the Internet.
In particular in regards to software and #floss people like to have lots of opinions rather than actually contributing to change.
Here's a simple advice: if you want to change something in an #OpenSource project, just do it! Sure they may want you to follow their coding standards, or even write a test if you change or introduce new functionality. But it's not that hard.
Just do it, less talking please!
