#FreeSoftware

134 posts94 participants0 posts today

Have a couple of questions regarding a software project and how to better publish and distribute it.

Wrote a lot of code in #RustLang, which is released for some time now. (gitlab.freedesktop.org/AdeptVe) I can build the binary and run it.

But I don't know, how to handle the "large" program files. 20MiB is not much. But stored in a repository, it clogs up the pipelines.
The repository grew to a size of more than 100MiB.

Shrinking gave a size of a bit more than 1MiB.

I know that I've said it many times before, but I'm just blown away by how much amazing Free/open source software people and companies are making, and just how good it can be.

Not just for hobbyists / tinkering (although those are absolutely valid use cases), but for Actually Getting Stuff Done.

Good start for the @fsfe 's symposium: 'Public Money? #PublicCode!' in Practice at the #unperfekthaus in Essen with the focus on the use of #FreeSoftware in municipalities.

What can best practices look like, and where are local administrations already leading the way today?

What opportunities for collaboration are opened up by Free Software?

What challenges arise when it comes to Free Software procurement?

What opportunities does the use of Free Software bring for public administrations?

@heiseonlineenglish Microsoft are right about MS Office being "impractical and too expensive" (and that is not even the worst part about it). They got the solution wrong though. The practical and free and Free (as in freedom and opensource and privacy respecting) is something like LibreOffice → libreoffice.org/
