Python plays a large role in calibrating, downloading, and analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The code pipeline that ferries raw data into finished images and scientific discoveries is free/libre software, and a wealth of documentation and tutorials for data science projects is available:

Wow! Thank you so much for adding so many events to // foss.events, making it a reliable source for everyone looking for FOSS events in Europe <3

And if you still miss an event (especially in the still empty areas of UK, France, Italy, Greece, Scandinavia and everything East of Brodnica/ Novi Sad) don't hesitate and add your event now!

Is #Aseprite #FOSS? You can use it for free if you compile it yourself, which today consists of git clone --recursive; ./build.sh then clicking yes a bunch of times.

I have two book recommendations for #FOSS & #Opendata enthusiasts especially to widen your perspective of it beyond technical aspects.

1. Think Like A Commoner by David Bollier
2. Knowledge as Commons by Prabir Purkayasta

As commoners we should think beyond the logic of Capitalism else we will / we have only become unpaid workers to all the capitalist enterprises big or small who appropriate the value from commons which we all collectively create.

Just updated my website with a page of links to sites and services where independent artists and musicians can set up direct streaming of their music to their fans, with some of these supporting digital download sales and other direct merching too. Nice thing is a bunch of these sites are foss and hook into the Fediverse

Canale consigliato!
