Data scientists spend at the moment around 80% of their time on tasks that are not related to modelling, trying to collect, prepare, and analyse the data. It takes a lot of time to perform all these activities and the biggest challenge is that they are neither reproducible nor reusable. Thus, very often projects get stuck in the experimentation phase and the return on investment on AI...
The Reproducible Builds effort has been going on for a while in the broader Open Source world, and has been a topic of discussion within many distributions and software projects.
Debian in particular has been leading the way here, continuously testing their whole repository and developing patches for thousands of packages needing touches so they can be...
Application containerization like Snap and Flatpak is becoming the most prevalent method of distributing applications on desktop Linux. It is an excellent way to keep software up to date without depending on a distribution’s release cycle.
Could this containerization also be applied to older software? With a few adjustments, I believe we can leverage them to replace the aging Lutris...

Yet, there is no innovation without a grain of doubt. Whereas the benefits are clear for almost everyone who interactive with artificial intelligence, there are still a...
While transparency is a key pillar of open-source projects, questions on trust often surface. Critics of open-source code question the level of self-critique that contributors demonstrate that could end up in “bad faith” commits. Critiques also argue and question if the open-source system is designed for security given the nature of the lack of accountability, given the open-source or “free”...
Knowledge is power - and it should be accessible to everyone.
With the explosion of Large-Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, compounded by Red Hat's decision to restrict its sources to the RHEL customer portal and the wedge it has driven in into the scientific computing community, it is more important now than ever that we ensure that individuals and...

Over the past few years, the Linux desktop has seen an emerging set of new technologies that enable a secure, performant, and feature rich platform: desktop portals.
Desktop portals allow application developers to target different desktops using a single code; give users a permission system to control which resources apps can access; and give platform developers a place to discuss and...
Regardless of where it is hosted, a codebase could end up in the hands of malicious actors. Aside from the open source scenario, attackers may utilize sophisticated techniques to access and download it. Okta's 2022 breach, in which the source code of the identity and access management platform was obtained from GitHub, is an example.
With this in mind, developers are advised to take a...

“History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes“
The debate about "notebooks in production" might seem new, but in fact it has an old precursor: spreadsheets. Both Excel and Jupyter democratized computing in a way that has been absolutely transformative, while at the same time created some interesting new problems. As a result, "notebooks are bad" has become a running gag among data...
Getting Open Source Design Contributions for your OSS project

Digital technology is a major contributor to environmental harm, from the 'tsunami' of e-waste filling landfills to CO2 emissions on a par with with aviation industry. Oft overlooked is that software itself plays a crucial role. Software and hardware are inextricably linked. A Free Software license means the linear digital economy of consume, use, and discard can be interrupted, shifting...
How decisions are made in communities has a big influence on how open, effective, and fair they are. Many open source projects, including Ubuntu, aim to be meritocracies. The goal is to "reward the best ideas, no matter where they come from." This ideal, however, is rarely met. In practice, meritocracy can amplify the existing inequalities of larger society, bringing them into the open source...

The Ubuntu archive publishes the current state of Ubuntu, which is
fine for standard systems that stay up to date manually or using tools
such as unattended-upgrades. Launchpad keeps track of historical
versions of packages as well, but until recently that wasn't made
available in a particularly convenient form. Canonical's Launchpad
team has now built an Ubuntu snapshot...
