At this year’s Wikimania (the annual conference of the Wikimedia movement), a new sub-event was introduced: the Team Challenges.

When you want to clone a large git repository locally, consider using: git clone --filter blob:none <the_remote_repository> This is so much better than --depth 1!

In January, I started a 2-year research project on the governance of FOSS projects.

Lately I’ve been thinking about a problem which feels like an interesting governance one.

In a recent event where a hackathon was organized, the organizer felt the need to emphasize multiple times that the hackathon wasn’t just “for crazy programmers who code all night long” but was more broadly open to all forms of co-creation between the att…

What if the main thing your FOSS project needed was that you work less on it?

By default, forges like GitHub make you create new repositories under your own account.

Years ago, I read The Pull Request Hack, a blog post advocating for a radical way of collaborating on FOSS: “Whenever somebody sends you a pull request, give them commit access to your project.”

Some months ago, I saw a job posting for Wikibase.Cloud’s product manager.

A one-person open source project with a governance model, is that ridiculous?

At the end of this year, we’ll be discontinuing Dissemin, a web platform designed to help researchers upload their articles to open repositories.

A central feature of Git is the ability to merge the contents of diverging revisions.

Improving the experience of new contributors in OpenRefine or other projects I maintain is an important topic for me.

In OpenRefine, we have been enforcing a code style for our Java files using a linter, which reformats source files according to a configuration expressed in Eclipse’s internal format.

In OpenRefine we still haven’t got ourselves a clear, public roadmap indicating what we are working towards in the near future.

A lot of my work happens on software forges like GitHub or GitLab.
