Today, our CEO, Adriana Groh, is at #CERN for their annual #OpenSource event, where she spoke and was on a panel with @zendis @openuk, as well as CERN and Red Cross representatives on how international organizations can proactively strengthen software they depend on.

We are glad to be able to support CERN—the birthplace of the World Wide Web—with our expertise and experience in increasing the resilience of critical open technologies.

It’s the kind of action we want to see more of: organizations like #CERN taking an active role in supporting the open source technologies they depend on.

We’re excited to also highlight that with our support, CERN is commissioning a new #SecurityAudit of @ente Auth, the open source two-factor authentication tool used across their internal IT systems. The audit will help ensure the tool remains secure, resilient, and reliable. 2/2

Tim Berners-Lee ( @timbl) explains why he gave away the #WWW for free.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/28/why-i-gave-the-world-wide-web-away-for-free

"For the web to have everything on it, everyone had to be able to use it, and want to do so. This was already asking a lot. I couldn’t also ask that they pay for each search or upload they made. In order to succeed, therefore, it would have to be free. That’s why, in 1993, I convinced my #CERN managers to donate the intellectual property of the world wide web, putting it into the public domain. We gave the web away to everyone."

But he adds:

"Today, I look at my invention and I am forced to ask: is the web still free today? No, not all of it. We see a handful of large platforms harvesting users’ private data to share with commercial brokers or even repressive governments…Trading personal data for use certainly does not fit with my vision for a free web."

Hi, are there any followers here related to #CERN interested in #CPlusPlus ? My scheduled trainings in October still lack participants and thus might be cancelled.

So sign up or spread the word!

Happy #Higgsdependence Day! Today is the anniversary of the discovery the Higgs Particle. The discovery was announced July 4, 2012.

The existence of the Higgs is the sign that fundamental symmetry is broken in nature. Perfect symmetry is not good for a universe like ours. With it, intrinsic mass as we know it cannot exist. Today we celebrate freedom from mathematical symmetry ... a universe made wonderful by its disrespect for sameness.

Not solving the issue, but if you're collaborating with researchers based in France, you can use such an Overleaf community edition hosted by #CNRS, dubbed #PLMLatex.

I'd be interested to know whether other unis/research orgs around the world have dont the same. Even #CERN is referring to the proprietary #Overleaf#SAAS.

💥 ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC•CERN

｢ Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei ｣

Particle physicist, I work in the @CMSexperiment at #cern. I am interested in the Higgs boson and silicon trackers.

I’ve just done my #eXit! Don't lose any of your followers. Thanks to #HelloQuitX I've registered 295 new passengers for a journey to #Mastodon. Join us on https://app.helloquitx.com and automatically find your communities on #January20!

I also took the opportunity to move from qoto.org to fediscience.org. Find my old profile at ChristopheDelaere@qoto.org

At #CERN we mostly employ engineers, but from time to time there are job openings for #writers and #editors. CERN Courier magazine currently has a graduate opening for an Associate #Editor.

The position is open to graduates from CERN member states with a Master's degree and not more than six years' experience post-graduation. Full details below.

If your network includes people who are interested in #science #communication, please boost!
