"Our initiative "Public Money? Public Code!" has the purpose that Software, funded by public money and used in the public administration shall be Free and Open Source Software. We have an open letter, which you can sign as an individual or as a NGO. So far we have over 26.000 people and nearly 200 NGOs supporting our goal. Next to this we have already three administrations who have signed our letter but still we would like to have more administration supporting our cause. To achieve this we need your help."

"Medical R&D should respond to specific priority health needs. Opening up the R&D process to a wide range of contributors and stakeholders will allow the design of medicines that are better adapted to the needs of the end users, and will define the preferred product characteristics (PPCs) and target product profile (TPP) that will guide all the phases of product development. In OS, there are no insiders, meaning that strategic decisions may be made through informed community debate against the agreed-upon TPP. The broader community is thus involved in designing how a product will be developed, defining the studies that will be done, and establishing the criteria that will be applied for making stop/go decisions. In order to achieve this, investments are needed to build online communities and platforms that help groups collaborate effectively."

"After the first read-through of the white-paper, I noticed in the section "the-libra-currency-and-reserve" and others parts of the white paper that Libra doesn't respect some of the basics of an Open (Libre) and Free Monetary System."

Une brève explication sur l'open source

Insolite :-)

With this, we now know the exact mRNA contents of the BNT162b2 vaccine, and for most parts we understand why they are there: The CAP to make sure the RNA looks like regular mRNA A known successful and optimized 5' untranslated region (UTR) A codon optimized signal peptide to send the Spike protein to the right place (copied 100% from the original virus) A codon optimized version of the original spike, with two 'Proline' substitutions to make sure the protein appears in the right form A known successful and optimized 3' untranslated region A slightly mysterious poly-A tail with an unexplained 'linker' in there The codon optimization adds a lot of G and C to the mRNA. Meanwhile, using Ψ (1-methyl-3'-pseudouridylyl) instead of U helps evade our immune system, so the mRNA stays around long enough so we can actually help train the immune system.

"This amazing engineer explains how we are continuously bombarded by radiation from space. He shares his idea of developing an open source networked detector for these cosmic rays, creating a massive cosmic ray telescope and empowering citizens to take part in the scientific process."

L'industrie du logiciel libre (ou open source) connaît une forte croissance dans le monde. « Ces logiciels sont omniprésents dans les infrastructures Web et la mobilité, et dans les logiciels embarqués, c'est-à-dire des logiciels présents dans les voitures, avions ou électroménagers », explique Stéphane Couture, chercheur en sociologie et communication numérique à l'Université McGill.

"Cette « économie de la collaboration entre groupes humains » [la Wikinomie] repose sur une collaboration sans frontières et un usage intensif des technologies numériques libres et Open Source, à commencer par les sites Wiki."

L'Apache Software Foundation (Fondation Apache) est une organisation à but non lucratif qui développe des logiciels open source sous la licence Apache, dont le renommé serveur web Apache HTTP Server. Elle a été créée en juin 1999 dans le Delaware aux États-Unis

"Prenant sa source dans le domaine du logiciel, l'esprit du Libre souffle à présent aussi dans la recherche, l'éducation, la culture et même l'agriculture et la médecine. On ne parle pas là d'expérimentations marginales, [...] mais de projets de grande ampleur qui concernent des millions de personnes et modifient durablement leur environnement."
