One thing maybe not discussed enough is the long term opportunity cost of not investing and supporting open source software. Imagine the more and better Blenders, GIMPs, Firefoxs, InkScapes, QGISs etc we would of had (+ could have) if open source was taken more seriously by government and businesses

surreal to work on an open source map and then open your YouTube feed to a short with 12 million views where the first frame is that map (this is also why we didn't clone an existing map style for the @protomaps.com default and instead made it visually distinctive) www.youtube.com/shorts/rc1WE...

One of the best things about working in the OSS ecosystem is the number of incredible people I've gotten to know. People who love building things to help others, who work to make the ecosystem better, who are just genuinely great people overall. Very thankful I get to work alongside y'all!

I noticed the FOSS4G EU website was reusing the colour scheme from Tartu last year, so decided to help by raising a PR to give it its own unique look and feel based on this year's logo colours

Exactly 10 years ago today, I 🚢'd my first GitHub feature, GeoJSON rendering. The base layer has since moved from MapBox to Azure Maps, but the feature is still rendering more than 7 million maps a year across more than 27 million .geojson files. https://t.co/1NiPrgsW0o

I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!
