I ran my little analysis program written last year to provide a nice map on the DebConf17 key signing party, based on the . What will you find if you go there? A list of all the people that will take part of the KSP Your key's situation relative to the KSP keyring As an example, here is my location on the map (click on the graph to enlarge): Its main use? It will help you find what clusters are you better linked with - And who you have not cross-signed with. Some people have signed you but you didn’t...

(image shamelessly copied from Noodles’ Emptiness) This year I will only make it to DebConf, not to DebCamp. But, still, I am very very happy and excited as the travel date looms nearer! I have ordered some of the delicacies for the Cheese and Wine party, signed up for the public bicycle system of Montreal, and done a fair share of work with the Content Team; finally today we sent out the announcement for the schedule of talks. Of course, there are several issues yet to fix, and a lot of things to do before traveling… But, no doubt about...

I got several interesting and useful replies, both via the blog and by personal email, to my two previous posts where I mentioned I would be starting a translation of the Made With Creative Commons book. It is my pleasure to say: Welcome everybody, come and share the joy of work! Some weeks ago, our project was accepted as part of Hosted Weblate, lowering the bar for any interested potential contributor. So, whoever wants to be a part of this: You just have to log in to Weblate (or create an account if needed), and start working! What is our...

Some days ago, I blogged asking for pointers to get started with the translation of Made with Creative Commons. Thank you all for your pointers and ideas! To the people that answered via private mail, via IRC, via comments on the blog. We have made quite a bit of progress so far; I want to test some things before actually sending a call for help. What do we have? Git repository set upI had already set up a repository at GitLab; right now, the contents are far from useful, they merely document what I have done so far. I have...

Dear Lazyweb, About a week ago, I learnt about the release of an interesting book by the fine people at Creative Commons: Made with Creative Commons. The book itself is, of course, CC BY-SA-licensed. I downloaded it and started reading right away. Some minutes later, I ordered a dead-tree copy, which arrived a couple of days ago. (I’m linking to the publisher’s page, but bought it from Amazon México… Shipping it from Denmark would not have been as cheap and fast, I guess). Anyway, given my workplace, given the community I know, given I know something like this is much...

I travelled (for three days only!) to Argentina, to be a part of the Open Source Symposium 2017, a co-located event of the International Conference on Software Engineering. This is, all in all, an interesting although small conference — We are around 30 people in the room. This is a quite unusual conference for me, as this is among the first “formal” academic conference I am part of. Sessions have so far been quite interesting. What am I linking to from this image? Of course, the proceedings! They managed to publish the proceedings via the “formal” academic channels (a nice...

I am starting a work with the students of LIDSOL (Laboratorio de Investigación y Desarrollo de Software Libre, Free Software Research and Development Laboratory) of the Engineering Faculty of UNAM: We want to dig into the technical and social implications of mechanisms that provide for anonymous, private usage of the network. We will have our first formal work session this Wednesday, for which we have invited several interesting people to join the discussion and help provide a path for our oncoming work. Our invited and confirmed guests are, in alphabetical order: Salvador Alcántar (Wikimedia México)Sandino Araico (1101)Gina Gallegos (ESIME Culhuacán)Juliana...

El premio Turing1 de 1983 fue otorgado a Ken Thompson y Dennis Ritchie por «su desarrollo de la teoría genérica de los sistemas operativos, y específicamente, por la implementación del sistema operativo Unix». Su discurso de aceptación del premio, «Reflections on Trusting Trust»2 (pensamientos acerca de confiar en la confianza) ha sido uno de los pilares de la práctica de la seguridad informática. En dicho trabajo, Thompson sostiene que mientras haya gente como él, capaces de escribir un compilador a pelo, no podremos confiar auditoría alguna que hagamos a nuestro código — Su artículo demuestra cómo se puede troyanizar un...

There is a thorny topic we have been discussing in nonpublic channels (say, the debian-private mailing list… It is impossible to call it a private list if it has close to a thousand subscribers, but it sometimes deals with sensitive material) for the last week. We have finally confirmation that we can bring this topic out to the open, and I expect several Debian people to talk about this. Besides, this information is now repeated all over the public Internet, so I’m not revealing anything sensitive. Oh, and there is a statement regarding Dmitry Bogatov published by the Tor project...
