A running theme I've observed at #FOSSY has been that "non-technical" contributions are under-recognized, under-reported, and under-appreciated
At #FOSSY, Kevin O'Reilly frames the right to repair as a truly pro-USAmerican cause: historically, folks in the USA love to fix our stuff and make it work. The right to repair movement seeks to bring back a culture of fixing devices rather than giving into the planned obsolesce of Big Tech.
Learning about the free and open values of Knox Makers https://knoxmakers.org/ from @conservancy 's own Tracy Homer!
Nice to see many fediverse handles on slides at #FOSSY. It makes sense of course, but definitely becoming more of a default in this space.

In his #FOSSY 2023 talk, @spot goes above and beyond to comply with our “disclose all proprietary software before mentioning it in presentation”, & creates a slide of all the proprietary software at AWS that he knows about. spot notes: “this slide is also to remind us all when we think #FOSS is winning, how many fronts we still have so much work to do.”
Great to see @karen kick off day 2 of @conservancy #fossy2023 in #Portland!
@neptune22222 We hope to have them online soon after the conference!
