Starting from this week, I’m going to regularly unveil a specific eelo feature we’re working one.As you know, eelo’s purpose is to deliver a full-featured operating system that is offering way better respect of user’s data #privacy. In this respect we’re specifically removing any piece of #android that is sending personal data to Google.I’m also conscious that eelo will benefit from a large user adoption (you know: Mom, Dad, children and friends…) only if it’s attractive enough: it should offer the best possible user experience, and a great user interface.One piece of software we needed to redevelop from scratch is the launcher. This is the main graphical interface that offers a way to start and organize applications.Prototypes of our BlissLauncher were unveiled during eelo’s initial crowdfunding (...)

Migrating ownCloud to NextCloud – The Mergy Notes

I’ve been a happy user of ownCloud for a few years now to dish shared calendar and contacts personally in addition to some image backup stuff with Android. I have no idea beyond the published reports of the split with the founder that started the Nextcloud variant, but it did seem like that is the future. So, getting over to it now made some sense to me. Here is what I did.

Conclusion : La migration est possible.

Question : Ext-ce qu’on y gagne ou est-ce qu’on perd des choses par la mirgration vers NextCoud ?

Es ist allerdings so, dass viele der Features, die bei ownCloud nur in der Enterprise Edition verfügbar sind, bei Nextcloud bereits kostenlos dabei sind oder sich durch wenige Klicks über den Nextcloud App Store aktivieren lassen. Eine Gegenüberstellung der Features der Community Edition und der Enterprise Edition von ownCloud kann man übrigens hier finden. Ich habe ein paar der Features, die laut dieser Seite nur in der ownClouds Enterprise Version verfügbar sind herausgepickt und geprüft, ob diese in Nextcloud enthalten sind.

Bref : Nextcloud est 100% open source (GNU AGPLv3-Lizenz) alors qu’Owncloud remplace au fur et à mesure des modules #FLOSS par des éléments payants et propriétaires. C’est une raison suffisante pour abandonner l’utilisation d’Owncloud au profit de Nextcloud, à moins d’avoir un modèle d’affaire profitable étroitement lié aux services du prestataire Owncloud GmbH.

Nextcloud gagne en matière de sécurité et interfaces et son développement est nettement plus dynamique.

In this article I will explain how to use Servicebot, an open-source platform for automating SaaS billing. Servicebot is designed to be the billing engine enabling businesses to sell software as a service.Servicebot Manages the Subscription LifecycleBeing able to manage the subscription lifecycle is paramount to selling a SaaS. This means having automated processes which react to specific billing events, such as subscribing or cancelling a service. Typically, subscription billing is made up of the following events:Subscribe — A new customer signs up for your service.Trial Expiration — The free trial period expires and the customer is billed or access is restricted to the app.Upgrade/Downgrade — The customer changes their subscription to a differently priced tier of service. For example, upgrading (...)

A fork of the iconic font and CSS toolkit

Fork Awesome is a full suite of 701 pictographic icons for easy scalable vector graphics on websites, originally created by Dave Gandy and now maintained by a community.
Following concerns regarding the development of Font Awesome, the PR Freeze since Oct 2016 and the direction Font Awesome is taking with the version 5.0 of their project, we are forking Font Awesome (4.7), in order to build on this incredible tool Dave Gandy has given us, while at the same time allowing this project to be run by a distributed community of contributors.

Serval, le maillage sous Android pour communiquer sans carte SIM

Il y a en outre une conséquence particulière à l’infrastructure en maillage : la résistance. Il sera très difficile par exemple pour un gouvernement de faire taire la totalité des téléphones utilisant Serval. Autre cas pratique : une catastrophe naturelle. Même si des relais ont été détruits, une communication pourrait passer de téléphone en téléphone jusqu’à parvenir à un point Wi-Fi relié à Internet.

#open-source

In 2002, I grew annoyed with not finding the obscure technical information I was looking for, so I started #Gmane, the #mailing_list_archive. All technical discussion took place on mailing lists those days, and archiving those were, at best, spotty and with horrible web interfaces.

The past few weeks, the Gmane machines (and more importantly, the company I work for, who are graciously hosting the servers) have been the target of a number of distributed denial of service attacks. Our upstream have been good about helping us filter out the DDoS traffic, but it’s meant serious downtime where we’ve been completely off the Internet.

Of course, there are ways to try to mitigate all this: I’m moving the Gmane servers off of my employer’s net, and I’m putting Cloudflare in front of the Gmane web servers.

But I ask myself: Is this fun any more?
I’m thinking about ending Gmane, at least as a web site. Perhaps continue running the SMTP-to-NNTP bridge? Perhaps not? I don’t want to make 20-30K mailing lists start having bouncing addresses, but I could just funnel all incoming mail to /dev/null, I guess…

I’m open to ideas here. If somebody else wants to take over the concept, I can FedEx you a disk containing the archive (as an NNTP spool). I’ve written a lot of software for Gmane, but it’s all quite site specific and un-documented. And the web interface was written in, like, 2004, so it’s way way way un-Web 2.0-ey and shiny. You’re probably better off implementing this stuff from scratch.

Eric Leandri insiste sur la dimension éthique et sociétale de son aventure : « Avec notre technologie, nous pourrions gagner beaucoup d’argent en faisant du marketing de pointe, mais ce n’est pas notre intention. Nous voulons montrer qu’on peut gagner sa vie tout en ayant une pratique éthique, propre, respectueuse des droits et des modes de vie des Européens. Face à ceux qui veulent surveiller tout le monde tout le temps, nous proposons un autre projet de société, fondé sur la liberté individuelle. »

Par souci de transparence, Qwant a publié le code-source des logiciels utilisés par son service pour interagir avec les machines des utilisateurs : « Les gens qui savent lire le code peuvent vérifier que tout fonctionne réellement sans collecte de données. » En ce qui concerne les algorithmes de production des résultats, c’est plus compliqué : « Si nous les publions aujourd’hui, les spécialistes du référencement découvriraient notre méthode, et trouveraient des moyens pour favoriser artificiellement tel ou tel site. Nous travaillons sur une solution technique ambitieuse : dès 2017, nous espérons publier en #open-source des algorithmes qui ne seront pas détournables, grâce à notre système d’intelligence artificielle et à la technique de la “blockchain” [répertoire distribué infalsifiable]. »
