Oh thank $deity I can still launch #Chrome with --ozone-platform=x11 even though the configuration flag has been removed. Because #Wayland breaks *so many things* for me.
Surely I'm not the only one seeing dropdowns, tooltips etc. render in top-left corner of my screen under Wayland?

Itching to try GNOME 49 today? Developers and curious testers can try GNOME OS in a virtual machine or bare metal:
Just remember that GNOME OS itself is considered pre-release software; bad things may happen if you use it in production. Happy testing!

OSI charts next phase for the organization with executive director search https://opensource.org/blog/osi-next-phase-executive-director-search #OpenSource
Recently we've been thinking about how we share code (and other design files) for our #OpenSource projects and products.
@span amcewen has written about the flaws in centralized options like Github and Gitlab, and why self-hosting isn't the answer.
Maybe we need some #CodeCommons?

🇺🇳 Proud to be able to share the 10-year journey of my #UN #OpenSource colleagues, presented today at #ApacheCon#CommunityOverCode by Omar Mohsine. Software Freedom has arrived to the consciousness of the global public sector! 
Big thanks to the amazing projects that make CoMaps possible!
Great ideas thrive in collaboration - when the community joins forces, powerful map experience happen
@organicmaps Maps and MAPS.ME
NASA's SRTM and Sonny's Lidar DTMs
@josmeditor @everydoor @streetcomplete plus more Free & Open Source community tools
... and more open datasets and great open-source libraries used in the CoMaps project!

A few years back, while working at 18F, I created a prototype that explored something a bit unconventional: using CouchDB’s document validation functions as the foundation for a rules engine. The idea was to leverage CouchDB’s built-in validation capabilities to create business rules that could be applied to documents as they’re inserted or updated.
I’ve always been somewhat obsessed with CouchDB—there’s something elegant about its document-oriented approach and the way it handles replication, versioning, and distributed architectures. (Here’s a video I made over 10 years ago showing how to load polling location data into a CouchDB instance.) So even though my prototype remained just that, the concept has continued to bubble in the back of my brain.
Recently, I decided to dust off this old project and give it the attention it deserves. I’ve worked to develop a comprehensive roadmap to transform the basic prototype into a more functional and usable product that truly leverages CouchDB’s unique strengths.
Instead of building yet another traditional rules engine, this approach uses CouchDB’s native validation functions as the rule execution environment. This means:
The roadmap I’ve created takes my earlier work from a proof-of-concept to a (hopefully) production-ready system with a web-based rule management interface, comprehensive testing infrastructure, and advanced rule capabilities—all while maintaining the elegance of the core CouchDB foundation.
Over the next few weeks (again, hopefully), I’ll be working through the development phases, starting with a modern testing framework and a clean web interface for rule management. The goal is to create something that demonstrates how CouchDB’s unique features can be leveraged in ways that traditional databases simply can’t match.
If you’re interested in following along or have thoughts about creative uses for CouchDB, I’d love to hear from you. Sometimes the most interesting solutions come from pushing familiar tools in unexpected directions.
