This is the sort of role that requires someone intimately familiar with Free and Open Source Software... preferably someone who actively and credibly contributes to it. Any takers from the NZ #FOSS Community? jobs.govt.nz/jobtools/jncust… desc

How to take part!
🐛 Find wildlife. It could be a bird, insect, plant or any other sign of life - it just has to be within the city limits.
📸 Take a picture. Snap a photo of what you find.
💚 Share! Upload your observation to iNaturalist NZ (bit.ly/citynaturechallengene…).

We (@nzoss) have had the government list our BigBlueButton service alongside Microsoft Teams and Zoom as viable options for every school in the country. I am astonished and thrilled. But also saddened that it took a crisis for this kind of validation to occur
This is what our Prime Minister means when she says that any virus exposure tracking software will be "open source" and why it's important! nzoss.nz/what-jacinda-means-…

We (@nzoss) have an instance of BigBlueButton available at bbb.nzoss.nz/. It's much better for training purposes than Jitsi and supports many more participants. Jitsi tends to fall over after 8 or so.

I'd like to propose an NZ Friday virtual drinkies event, starting at 5pm today (NZ DST). The venue is bbb.nzoss.nz/b/dav-fp4-4yz all welcome - no software install required, just a modern browser (or Safari if you're on iOS :) ) like… mastodon.nzoss.nz/@lightweig…
Get the open, privacy respecting video conferencing alternative while supplies last!
To all the NZ schools out there who're (quite rightly) worried about privacy and security problems with Zoom (not to mention cost) - here's a local community-run alternative that's easy and free: nzoss.nz/learnfromhome
