Kicking off the ATP Working Group at the IETF - AT Protocol

The Authenticated Transfer Protocol working group has been created at the IETF. Now that we have a charter, we are looking forward to participation from the broader ATP ecosystem.

We just launched the Open Source Endowment, the first endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers, with $693,000 raised already. The world depends on Open Source, but making our ecosystem sustainable is a complex task. I hope that, with community consultation, the Endowment can help 🙏

A group of well-known open source programmers and a VC have launched the Open Source Endowment. They hope this new method will provide funding for good.

Not to continue stirring up negativity, but it's so depressing how many people are still following this AI "pixel artist"

what I love most about open source is the community 😊 ... and I think that's what makes nuxt and vite so special to everyone involved ❤️ I'm glad @patak.dev is willing to join me as a steward of npmx 🙏

danielroe — Yesterday at 20:41

hello everyone! 👋

... and apologies for the ping, but now seems a good time to talk about what npmx is as an open source project.

it was 8 days ago that I made the first commit, and I had something I was excited about a day later. it was clear to me from [the](https://bsky.app/profile/danielroe.dev/post/3md3cmrg56k2r) [community](https://bsky.app/profile/danielroe.dev/post/3md47mg7qjs22) that it would be big, and I invited patak to join two days later.

it's impossible to believe that it's been less than a week since we started inviting close allies and trusted folk. we're already at 75+ npmx contributors, and around 200 people on the server now, which is an outstanding percentage.

so now seems like a good time to make explicit what 'npmx' is:
we're open-source and for the good of the web
we're a community project, built by all of us

it might be a bit early for it, but patak and I have drafted a governance doc to set out a bit about how we want to steward npmx. it's short but we'll be filling it out more as we go on.

we've also created an opencollective so we can help support the community and hopefully, one day, help other similar projects.

we want to make the experience of using npmjs better for us and for others. and the joy of open source is that we can do that together! I hope it goes without saying, but thank you ❤️

we'd love your thoughts on the document and on the project 🙏

Really wishing that somebody would hire my company (@igalia.com) to standardize/implement support for import maps in web workers. I already have a draft spec PR ready and there is interest from the community, which company wants to be the hero funding pushing it forward? :)

curl will be stopping its bounty program at the end of this month I personally expected this to happen due to many low-effort AI slop bug reports, which caused maintainers waste time and energy reproducing non-existent bugs. Curious to see how AI can affect other things in OSS

I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards. I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

I am really devastated to hear about @TailWindCSS 🥲 There's not much I can do, but I am sure I can ask people to star the repository on GitHub. They need 9 stars to reach a total of 92K stars 🤩 To show support we can do this at least. Thanks @adamwathan for making the project!

Like the rest of the internet, Sentry runs on Open Source. Like the rest of the @opensourcepledge.com companies, we also believe in paying it back. In 2025, we gave out $750k to the OSS projects we rely on; here’s a sampling of some of them, and why they are so crucial 🧵
