"Last year, Bloomberg launched its FOSS (free and open source software) fund, committing up to $90,000 per year to various projects. And in October, Indian financial services company Zerodha launched a similar initiative dubbed FLOSS/fund, pledging $1 million annually to open source projects.

Hey folks, follow this friend of mine who just joined Mastodon - @reglue . Not only did he write a column for FOSS Force for several years, for a great many years he ran Reglue, which took old computers, refurbished them with Linux, and then gave them to school kids who couldn't afford a computer. Even more than this, he's a great guy with lots and lots and lots of stories.

"Ask and you shall receive, Nate, because Ann Selzer doesn’t herd. Last night, the Iowa pollster surprised everyone with a poll showing Kamala Harris ahead in Iowa.

"Fedora is one of those Linux distributions that tends to fly under the radar for Raspberry Pi users because there's Raspberry Pi OS and many other distros fit for Raspberry Pi.
