If you want to warm your heart after whatever else you've been reading today, feel free to skim through the Annual Reports for Sugar Labs: https://www.sugarlabs.org/community/2025/03/24/annual-report/

I have yet to promote it on the official Sugar Labs channel. It's a treat, just for you! And, if you see any typos, please let me know. We don't, like, any staff to look over anything I've written. (Yes, I wrote all ~15 pages myself, without any help from gen-AI.)

I want to clarify that, despite your news reports, #Signal is not a commercial app.

The messenger is developed by a Section 501(c)(3) Tax Code non-profit foundation, to which you can donate.

The messenger receives daily updates and is secure to what we know today. We only learned about #signalgate by a user's error on creating a group chat with a journalist, not a faulty appliance of any kind.

“…sometimes the powerful commit or condone or bankroll acts of unspeakable evil, and any institution that prioritizes cashing the checks over calling out the evil is no longer an arts organization. It’s a reputation-laundering firm with a well-read board.” One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad #books #literature #gaza #genocide #occupation #palestine #arts #NonProfit

My wife runs a small non-profit (<5 people) and wants my help to get them off Google Workspace for Nonprofits. They mainly use email, collaborative docs, calender and drive. I have limited spoons so the simpler the migration, the better. Any suggestions?

Options I've come across so far are #Proton, #Infomaniak, #Zoho and #NextCloud. Are any of these better/easier than the others? Happy to pay, but budget is not unlimited. I've a little experience with Zoho, but am not sure how good its privacy credentials are?

We are based in Australia but the host doesn't need to be here (EU or Switzerland, I guess).

Do you know of any self-organized, bottom-up, locally-rooted educational organizations?

I am asking this because I am talking intensely with @ceci about ideas and dreams we have for our home city, #Sanremo, Italy.

We are both coming to the conclusion that an autonomous, independent, cooperative, critical, and deeply rooted university is one of the very very few projects that could give young people in the area a real chance not to emigrate.

As we are also both deeply in love with fringe academia, it would also be the only reason for us to somehow maintain a bond with our homeland.

Please, boost and share this, and send us any kind of suggestions! We particularly welcome Italian initiatives.
