Hey all,
irregardless of the split in our community between privacy pragmatists
and privacy absolutists, I think we should take note of this step
Mozilla has taken, as I believe FSFE still has a Facebook page (last
active on September 21st as far as I can ascertain).
> Dear global community we’ve had the opportunity to interact with over the past several years here:
>
> We’re taking a break from Facebook.
>
> At Mozilla we champion platforms and technologies that are good for the web and good for the people that use it.
> We stand up for transparency and user control because they make the web healthier for us all.
>
> That’s why we are pressing pause on any Facebook activity. Mark Zuckerberg has just promised to improve Facebook’s settings and make them more protective, which is a start! Please do that! But we can’t help but think we’ve heard it before, so we’re still going to wait and see what materializes before we resume spending our ad dollars or time here.

> IN THE MEANTIME:
> If you need support for Firefox or want to tweet at us, you can find us here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/
> and https://twitter.com/mozilla

What do you guys think?

Hi all,
I hope many of you are already aware of REUSE. For those of you who
aren't, a short intro: REUSE is a set of best practices to make
licensing and copyright easier for everyone – especially for developers
who want to make the terms of reuse of their software clear. The focus
is on simplicity. Read more: https://reuse.software
Now, REUSE provides a helper tool, written in Python. People can install
it via PyPi, download packages via Arch's AUR or NixOS, or just build it
from source [^1].
But there is no official Debian package yet! And that makes it harder
for users and developers who want to improve the reusability of
software.
Is there anyone who would be interested helping us getting this done,
and who has experience with Debian packaging? If so, please let me know!
There already is an inofficial package, but it would be great to channel
this into the common Debian infrastructure:
https://git.ostc-eu.org/OSTC/packaging/reusehttps://git.ostc-eu.org/OSTC/packaging/license-expression (dependency)
Best,
Max
