This is the sort of role that requires someone intimately familiar with Free and Open Source Software... preferably someone who actively and credibly contributes to it. Any takers from the NZ #FOSS Community? https://t.co/TZPwq66kaI desc

Open source software is not given enough love by the powers that be. All software in schools should be open source and digital learning in schools should involve tinkering with OSS and even giving back to the pot

How to take part! 🐛 Find wildlife. It could be a bird, insect, plant or any other sign of life - it just has to be within the city limits. 📸 Take a picture. Snap a photo of what you find. 💚 Share! Upload your observation to iNaturalist NZ ( https://t.co/v1ko6EbN4p).

@joshsimmons We (@nzoss) have had the government list our BigBlueButton service alongside Microsoft Teams and Zoom as viable options for every school in the country. I am astonished and thrilled. But also saddened that it took a crisis for this kind of validation to occur

This is what our Prime Minister means when she says that any virus exposure tracking software will be "open source" and why it's important!

@KatKarena @King_Malietoa @Te_Taipo @jitsinews We (@nzoss) have an instance of BigBlueButton available at https://t.co/X8AB6jh9yI. It's much better for training purposes than Jitsi and supports many more participants. Jitsi tends to fall over after 8 or so.

To all the NZ schools out there who're (quite rightly) worried about privacy and security problems with Zoom (not to mention cost) - here's a local community-run alternative that's easy and free:
