Surreal to be back to in-person (but 😷💉 extremely safe!) #OpenSource events. #OSSummit

Apparently there are still a lot of people out there that don't understand that most #OpenSource and #CreativeCommons licenses require attribution where you give credit to the creators whose work you are reusing or building upon. Being a good digital citizen and doing this only helps grow the commons. Don't forget.

The planet is warming due to human activities, primarily burning fossil fuels & deforestation.

#ClimateChange is happening here & now, and is already affecting everyone. The consequences will get worse for each bit of further warming.

2005 ... yet somehow it was only the most recent logo that spawned provoking the owner into action by revoking DNS admin rights. (7/7)

2006: (6/7)

2011: (5/7)

2012: (4/7)

2015: (3/7)

and in 2016: (2/7)

And let's remind ourselves of the timeline that led to the #freenode #logogate "hostile takeover", starting with the most recent addition of one of their #IRC server sponsors' logo this year, 2021: (1/7)

The #PIA logo went up on the #freenode #IRC website way back in 2016 even before it became the new owner. Staff didn't revoke the owner's access to the domain registration and nobody complained about a "hostile takeover" back then. Why this time?
