Maybe we do something right in freeciv development, as reviews in sourceforge still show 5.0 stars out of 5 (38x5, 2x4, no lesser scores) sourceforge.net/projects/freec

For a project to be truly #OpenSource (not to mention #FreeSoftware), it really needs to:
1. Have a *public* issue tracker that enables you to browse and search through issue reports *without* having to create an account.
2. Accept issue reports, with no strings attached. Yes, expecting registration is fine. Yes, expecting some effort to file a good bug report is fine. No, expecting people to ask permission, donate or otherwise put a lot of extra work to report a problem is not.
3. Do not close issue reports as "stale". Yes, it's fine to close a report if you really believe it was fixed, or if you asked for something and the user didn't reply for a long time. It's not fine to run a bot expecting users to jump every month so that the issue report that *you are ignoring* doesn't get closed.
If a project doesn't meet these, it's just a glorified throwaway code.

#FreeSoftwareAdvent I couldn't work without LibreOffice or Thunderbird. The former is a fantastic and comprehensive office suite, and the latter is Mozilla's IMAP and POP3 email client.
I suggested using them years ago at a work meeting, and since then, Microsoft tools have been discarded in favor of their opensource alternatives.

It’s amazing how you can make #FreeTube so simple and distraction-free!
⭐ #FreeSoftware

A desktop screenshot of the FreeTube application in dark mode, showing the “Subscriptions” feed. Several video entries are listed vertically, each with a blurred thumbnail, a “WATCHED” label, titles such as “Everything in relation to everything else,” “Are Raccoons Being Domesticated?”, “What these Popular Chrome Extensions are Really Doing?”, and “Surviving 9 to 5 in Your 30s,” along with creator names and upload times. The left sidebar displays icons for feed, subscriptions, history, settings…

Beginning a new #FreeSoftware project and I want to have an inclusive code of conduct in place right from the beginning. Anyone have any good examples to share to help me get started?
