i'm retiring an older collaborative project that never quite got off the ground... BUT in doing so we're releasing the tiles we drew for it into the creative commons. 281 free, hand-drawn isometric tiles, to use in your projects:
"...there's certainly a lot to enjoy in #GNOME3dot38..." having fun recording with Mike Tarantino!
haha hearing that epic sued apple and assuming at first they must be talking about Electronic Privacy Information Center #DigitalRightsGeek
When putting the data together for the announcement that Conservancy is winding down its involvement in PyPy, I was so impressed that over the years @conservancy paid 9 contractors over $220k to work on PyPy! Thanks Simon Cross, @ehashman & Jean-Paul Calderone for helping as volunteers to steer the most recent batch of contracts!

Molly de Blanc and I wrote a Declaration of #DigitalAutonomy, outlining the Principles of Digital Autonomy. We'd love to hear your thoughts: https://techautonomy.org/

RT @fsfe@twitter.com
Against strong recommendations by @WHO@twitter.com, #Denmark does not publish their #Corona tracing app as #FreeSoftware. This is counterproductive: keeping the app proprietary eliminates transparency, effective reviews and trust.

Bradley and I recorded an episode of the Free as in Freedom Podcast at @SeaGL. It was much fun, and now feels all the more precious that it happened at all. We've posted the "live-on-tape" show:

Conservancy has been a 100% remote organization for over 5 years and we thought it might be helpful to share some of the free software tools that we use to do our work. Questions welcome!
