Meet the Creative Commons Legal Database
Category : News / Legal Issues A
user Nutterix published on Habré a translation of an article about the Creative Commons Legal Database: “ Recently, the Creative Commons Legal Database was launched, one of the long-awaited projects from Creative Commons aimed at collecting and organizing information related to with Creative Commons licenses (litigation and legal articles). The project looks promising (of course, there is a forensic classic on open source - Jacobsen v Katzer, albeit in a very condensed form), but so far it is not impressive in its volume - I hope that soon there will be information on Russia, for example. In the meantime, I suggest you find out about this database and the project itself as a whole from the article below . "

Results of the OpenSSF FOSS Software Developers Demographic Survey
Category : News / News from FOSS Organizations
Mydibyje writes on linux.org.ru:
“ In order to better understand the state of security and resilience in the FOSS ecosystem, and how organizations and companies can support it, the Linux Foundation conducted a survey of FOSS participants. The results were quite predictable:
- Demographics: Most men are 25-44 years old
- Geography: Most of Europe and America
- IT sphere: the majority develops software and services
- Programming languages: , Python, Java, JavaScript
- Motivation: customizing something for yourself, learning, hobbies

Analysis of contributions to GNOME and GTK 4 development
Category : News / News FOSS Organizations
OpenNET writes: “ Published two reports summarizing the statistics on contributors to GTK 4 and GNOME development. When looking at the dynamics of the number of contributors to GNOME development, the peak was in 2010, in which more than 1400 people contributed to the code. After 2010, the activity began to decline, which lasted until 2017. The peak correlates with the development of GNOME 3.0, which began in 2009 and continued throughout 2010 alongside the GNOME 2.x branch. ".

The most Unix '| Slackware (Overview and First Impression)
Category : Articles / Kernel and Distributions
Popular video blogger Alexey Samoilov has published a new video, this time about Slackware. “ This distribution is, perhaps, the most interesting among all relevant and modern, since its concept and structure have hardly changed since the day of its foundation, and therefore it is a living example of what Linux was then, at the dawn of its appearance, while remaining modern and relevant even after almost 30 years ”- says the author in the introduction.

Category : Articles / Miscellaneous
User KvanTTT published on Habré an article about developing an add-on for VS Code for writing articles on Habr: “I open VS Code and start typing an article from the very beginning. But here's the bad luck - the markdown format is not entirely compatible with the existing Habr format. It turns out there is no way out and you have to return to the built-in Habr editor. Or not have to? The idea came to my mind to write a utility that converts different formats of markdowns to each other, for example, from the GitHub format to the Habr format. In the end, I developed such a program. Now you do not need to copy articles into the Habr editor to see how it looks, you can continue to write in your favorite VS Code »

Based on Raspberry 4, a modular open PC with 16 GB of RAM and a bunch of interfaces was created
Category : News / Hardware
The Selectel blog on Habré published an article about another Raspberry-based development - this time it is a full-fledged (almost) system unit (well, or something similar to it): “ A large number of various projects are created based on the Raspberry Pi. Since the release of the first "raspberry", enthusiasts have presented thousands, if not tens of thousands of modifications, improvements, platforms. Now READY! used a Raspberry Pi 4 as the basis for a modular PC called the Model 100. All software and hardware are open source, so this is a great option for the enthusiast. The resulting system is reminiscent of the "nuclear suitcase" shown in some films. Well, or a shaitan-tool with which a hacker can steal any corporate or state secret . "
