We've launched a blog series on open source strategic thinking that takes a lot of our current thinking and lays it out for public consumption. Come join the discussion! Big thanks to Microsoft for supporting our moving this material out in the open. blog.opentechstrategies.com/2019/05/open-s…

Hey, we're hiring full-stack web developers for free software / open source / libre work! These are part-time contract positions, but note that for many of our contractors this is their main or even only gig. #FLOSSjobs opentechstrategies.com/#jobs fossjobs.net/job/10925/full…


Need help migrating from Phabricator to GitLab or GitHub? We can provide it -- we've built an open source tool & process for cross-forge conversion. You know that saying about not reinventing the wheel? Trust us: you don't want to reinvent this one. blog.opentechstrategies.com/2022/02/need-h…

It may be our most commonly asked question-"Why should I open source my work?" Listen to #OpenSource expert @jamesvasile, partner at @OpenTechStrat, explain it for the #energyaccess sector. Listen--> enaccess.org/materials/open… or look for "Open Energy Access" on any podcast player.

Very interesting and well-written article from @praxagora now up at @LPIConnect: lpi.org/blog/2021/03/1… (Disclosure: @jamesvasile's and my company is one of the examples given.) I especially like @praxagora's historical perspective: today's reality vs yesterday's speculation.


Calling all candidates! This "Director of Engineering" opening at @PermanentOrg is a great opportunity for someone with open source experience and leadership ability. We've been working with them a lot, and enthusiastically endorse both their mission & organizational culture.

Thanks for the reference, @_msw_! Adding @jamesvasile for co-author credit here, as the report is very much a joint effort. (@kfogel tweeting here, btw.)

What @PermanentOrg is building is super-important *and* super-interesting -- right at the sweet spot! We're thrilled to be working with them on this. Their sentence below sums it up perfectly: "The work we're doing belongs to all people and that includes our code."

Anyone out there have good prior art on internal organizational policies about access to user data? (Like, if you're a tech company with users, who in the company has access to user data & under what circumstances? What's the written policy?) #AskingForAFriend


Want to work on open source software that serves interesting & socially useful purposes? @OpenTechStrat is hiring PHP/Python coders for contract positions (~6 months, possibly longer). Prior experience with @MediaWiki useful but not required. Details at opentechstrategies.com/#jobs

This is fantastic and hearkens back to much of my work calming people's fears about #opensource with @OpenTechStrat. I'm thrilled to see such clear guidance for government employees in Canada.

New blog post! In which Josh and I try to bust as many myths as we can about #opensource in government: digital.canada.ca/2020/02/24/why… #GCdigital

Please share: We're looking for more engineers for #opensource work. Esp: Javascript experience and experience in back-end scalability (load balancing, detecting serialization bottlenecks, etc). opentechstrategies.com/#jobs /cc @lizhenry #MozillaLifeboat #DigitalOceanLifeboat

Fantastic work by @OpenTechStrat. Our labor is the big greatest leverage we have for good in FOSS. blog.opentechstrategies.com/2019/11/influe…
