Patrick Masson (massonpj@fosstodon.org)'s status on Monday, 17-Jun-2024 23:59:58 JST Patrick Masson I am struck by how outside the "norm" education-derived #opensource projects are, related to funding.
Everyone so far has a commercial orientation, aligned with typical corporate business and revenue models. As such they are emphasizing investors, customers, start-ups, etc.
Also of note is a, perhaps European, emphasis on goverment funding.
I don't think the education sector and the #OSS institutions that produce it, can take advantage of these approaches.

Patrick Masson (massonpj@fosstodon.org)'s status on Monday, 17-Jun-2024 23:59:58 JST Patrick Masson Starting session (framed as a debate) on funding #OpenSource software projects and/or foundations at @ow2's #OW2con.
Interesting process were those who speak, then point to someone else from the audience to take their spot on the panel.

Patrick Masson (massonpj@fosstodon.org)'s status on Monday, 17-Jun-2024 23:59:57 JST Patrick Masson The open source software produced in #highered is a "by-project" [by-product] of their primary work (research, teaching and learning, academic/administrative computing); the #OpenSource software produced by companies--and many "projects" waiting for investors--is a "product."
The sustainability, support, and contributor models (and motivations) are thus all different... very different.

You're not providing #students an #education, your providing companies customers.
We never taught Smith-Corona, or Turbo TS40, or Ford Tempo. We taught, respectively, typing, wood shop, and student driving. We should teach word processing, computer technology, and communications.

Patrick Masson (massonpj@fosstodon.org)'s status on Friday, 16-Dec-2022 20:03:25 JST Patrick Masson I'm fretting the #Twitter migration. Many #TwitterPurge victims complain they've lost their flocks of followers, their profiles, presence & influence, their curated content collections & promotional channels…
Many are frustrated they'll have to start over building their brand anew, recapturing their audience here on Mastodon: "Where's my blue checkmark?"
I won't say, please don't come, but please don't use Mastodon the same way you manipulated Twitter.
It's different here, we should be too.
