[PLUG] Gratitude
Hi folks, I'm pretty sure most of us have heard the news of the maintainer of Curl receiving hate mail[1], by now. But, this incident shows the in general ingratitude that certain users show towards the free/open-source software that they use. Albeit, this kind of users are a very small minority, it shows that there is scope for improvement, in how we communicate the way open source works. Most live/prod systems that are running on linux, are an amalgamation of a multiple open-source projects and we cannot blame one for the failure of another, nor can we blame the incorrect use of a particular software because most things have very sensible default configs. When preparing such complicated prod environments, it makes sense to have an *open-source security check-list*. [1]: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/19/i-will-slaughter-you/ -- Tejas Sanap.

[PLUG] Spaces (@TwitterSpaces)
Hi all, For a long time, I have had an idea, perhaps, more of a thought. What would a company be like if it were to open up its design process to the general public? What if literally anyone could pitch in ideas at any stage? We already have gitlab as one of the examples, a company trying to do something similar. While the world of open-source defines code sharing and documentation as the basis of actual sharing of ideas, but user feedback is also a form of contribution. Please check out the tweets by the new Twitter Spaces feature team, where they are openly sharing early UI designs. Working at a company which takes openness from an engineering practices perspective to such a level, is every open source enthusiasts dream job. If only more and more companies could do the same.

[PLUG] Another virtual meet-up?
Hey folks! I was wondering if we could have a virtual meet-up sometime next month? We can all just get together, talk about stuff, what we have all been doing... -- Tejas Sanap (whereistejas) ___ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
