🎉 OkHttp, Okio, Retrofit, and SQLDelight join Commonhaus! www.commonhaus.org/activity/315...

Happy #DungeonCrawlerCarl Day to all who celebrate.

🎂 Commonhaus Foundation Marks Two Years as Open Source’s ‘Missing Middle’ — and Maintainers Are Taking Notice. Commonhaus’ 2nd anniversary www.commonhaus.org/activity/305...

I talked to founder Erin Schnabel + Marco Vermeulen (SDKMAN!), Andres Almiray (JReleaser) & Chris Riccomini (SlateDB) about what lightweight OSS governance actually looks like in practice. [2/3]

Who takes care of the people who take care of open source? For @commonhaus.org's 2nd birthday, I revisited the foundation for @thenewstack.io. [1/3]

📣 Micronaut announces plans to join @commonhaus.org micronaut.io/2026/01/12/m... #micronaut

JReleaser 1.22.0 has been released! andresalmiray.com/jreleaser-1-...

the one thing we ALL crave: more "excitement" at our jobs part of the "commercials" we produce for Leet Heat on @codetv.dev, featuring @marisamorby.com and @anniesexton.com

One of the additional perks of @devoxx.uk this year was doing a speaker interview with @ammbra1508.bsky.social. We sat down to talk about my talks at #DevoxxUK and our work as Developer Advocates. youtu.be/U_kqqQj2qyg

The awesome team at @gradle.com have taken my blog posts and Opinions about Flaky Tests and put them all together in a very wonderful white paper! Whether you care about #FlakyTests or think you don't have them, there's something in here for you. #DeveloperProductivity #TestAutomation

My oldest-ever PR has merged (almost 2 years 😳), and Quarkus 3.22 has a new test-classloading architecture. It should be that nothing changes for users, but ... a few things might change: quarkus.io/blog/test-cl...

Us developers have learned the hard way that: 1. Prototyping is more like 10% of the actual work - even though the business folks thinks we're 90% done 2. Shipping prototypes to production is possible but generally a bad idea Vibe coding is prototyping. Others will learn - soon

Commonhaus is 1! 🎂 14 projects, solid foundations, and more on the way. If you believe in light governance, shared care, and thoughtful support for open source, come see what we’re building. www.commonhaus.org/activity/253...

Commonhaus has been a great home for SlateDB. They're looking for more projects (especially non-Java ones!). I highly recommend joining. :)

Rare chance to see me in person in Singapore! March 27 I'll present on an extremely interesting JVM performance topic: www.meetup.com/singadev/eve... Also looking forwards to network and discuss anything related to @quarkus.io , @hibernate.org , @commonhaus.org 😉

@ebullient.dev talking about @commonhaus.org at @devnexus.bsky.social with Yolande and @neo4j.bsky.social #commonhaus #foreverHome

That's a wrap for @devnexus.bsky.social 2025! And what a fantastic event it was – as usual! Thank you to @mayers.io, @prpatel.dev and the rest of the Atlanta JUG team for yet another success! 🎉👍

Just recorded an awesome live Off Heap episode @devnexus.bsky.social with @ebullient.dev and @ivargrimstad.bsky.social . Talking about @apache.org @eclipsefdn.bsky.social and @commonhaus.org . Great discussion about what each foundation can bring to the table.

This version of the talk does not have any kangaroos, but I'm still proud of it.

"Debezium Joins the Commonhaus Foundation" Good @infoq.com coverage on #Debezium's recent move to @commonhaus.org, by @johanjanssen.bsky.social. A neutral home is the right choice for most open-source projects. www.infoq.com/news/2025/02...

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

@devnexus.bsky.social is my favorite (Java, AI, and Cloud) conference. I'll be there (Soon! March!) showing how I use automation like GitHub actions and GitHub apps built with @quarkus.io to simplify @commonhaus.org operations. Use SPEAK40 to get 40% off the ticket price.

By the way, because almost all the people I’ve worked with are men, the whole «men and women can’t actually be friends 🧠» discourse actively harms me. A ton of men and women believe that crap. Well, that means what? I have to go through life with no one speaking to me? wtf? People need to stop that.

A little diversion because it's been that kind of month. First, the interesting attitudes of some prominent tech bros bring this to mind: medium.com/the-secret-h... And this was just plain fun to read: www.eleanorkonik.com/p/on-the-dip...

well look at that: kubernetes MCP available from github.com/quarkiverse/... thanks to @marcnuri.com and github.com/wildfly-extr... a WildFly MCP server using Quarkus by jfdenise!

Begin the New Year with a good deed: ⭐ a repository of a project you like, for example #JReleaser github.com/jreleaser/jr...

🥂🎉 Happy New Year to everyone 🎉🥂❤️

It's this kind of comment which makes Mitchell Hashimoto a true open-source role model to me: giving a shout-out to other alternatives in the space, while announcing Ghostty, his latest OSS project. Way to go! news.ycombinator.com/item?id=425174…

🎉 SlateDB and Debezium join Commonhaus! The foundation expands its roster with two new additions github.com/commonhaus/f...

I (finally) wrote up my thoughts on "Founder Mode" and the Brian Chesky morality tale about how he turned around Airbnb company culture. This has made it into the Silicon Valley water table; it must be dealt with. There are some good nuggets within; let's dig them out. charity.wtf/2024/12/17/f...

We're seeing that pattern happening now with emails. Senders use AI to generate emails, with lots of padding. Then the emails are too bloated to read, so the recipient uses AI to summarise the email. The net effect? The world's first de-compression algorithm. 😅

Recently @redmonk.com had a conversation with @ebullient.dev, distinguished engineer at #RedHat & council chairperson @commonhaus.org. They discussed challenges faced by open source projects, the need for new foundations, and how Commonhaus aims to support developers. redmonk.com/blog/2024/11...

Do I remember how to do social media? Last few years have been brutal.
