Joint Development Foundation to co-host first CHIPS R&D Standards Summit with industry leaders
In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, the role of standards in driving innovation and ensuring quality can’t be overstated. To that end, the Joint Development Foundation, a neutral and non-profit home to important industry-driven open standards such as AV1, SPDX, C2PA, and more, is proud to co-host the upcoming CHIPS Research and Development (R&D) Standards Summit alongside CHIPS Research and Development Office (CHIPS R&D Office), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (IEEE-ISTO), the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI), IPC International, the Joint Development Foundation (JDF), the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program (NITRD), the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), SEMI North America, and the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).

OSNews launches Gemini capsule
Have you ever wanted a more lightweight version of OSNews? A version that loads more optimally inside a terminal? Well, I’ve got good news for you: OSNews is now available on Gemini: gemini://gemini.osnews.com. What is Gemini? This is how the project’s website describes it: Gemini is a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents. That’s not a new idea, but it’s not old fashioned either. It’s timeless, and deserves tools which treat it as a first class concept, not a vestigial corner case. Gemini isn’t about innovation or disruption, it’s about providing some respite for those who feel the internet has been disrupted enough already. We’re not out to change the world or destroy other technologies. We are out to build a lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader’s privacy, attention and bandwidth. Gemini is effectively a text-based alternative protocol to HTTP, reminiscent of protocols like Gopher. There’s some very basic markup available in the form of gemtext, but for all intents and purposes, when you load a Gemini capsule (the Gemini term for website), you’re effectively loading nothing more than plain a text file, which happens to also make Gemini capsules ideal for use in terminals. There are various ways to load Gemini capsules – from dedicated graphical clients for a wide variety of platforms, to very basic CLI-based clients. Personally, I use Buran on Android, Lagrange and Castor on Linux, GemiNaut on Windows, and Amfora in the CLI. There’s also various extensions for Firefox and Chrome if you want to load Gemini capsules right inside your regular browser. In addition, Gemini’s lightweight, simple nature also makes it a great candidate for alternative, classic, or basic operating systems. As far HTTP(S) links go, Gemini clients will generally offer to load these inside your default browser. Due to Gemini’s focus on simplicity, there’s a few workarounds the OSNews Gemini site had to implement to make it all work. First, you cannot have in-text links such as this – every link needs to be its own line. So, links inside stories are converted to numbered footnotes. Second, while gemtext supports quotes, they, too, can only be on one line. As such, we had to choose between turning multi-paragraph quotes into multiple separate gemtext quotes, or combine quotes into one gemtext quote. We opted for the latter, as it looked the best on most clients I’ve tried. Third, for simplicity’s sake, comments are not available on our Gemini site. Not only would it be hard (impossible?) to let you post comments inside Gemini, it would also be needlessly complex to create multiple scripts to convert comments posted on the regular site into gemtext. As such, every story on the Gemini site will contain an outgoing “Comments” link, pointing towards the normal site. Fourth, there’s no images. As for how this all works – I’m running the Agate Gemini server from home (meaning the server will be down a few times a week as I install updates on my workstation), and Julien Blanchard (julienxx) did the actually hard work by writing a Ruby script that takes our RSS feed and converts it into a drop-in gemtext page. I simply run this script periodically, and it dumps the gemtext page in Agate’s /content directory. I want to deeply thank Julien for writing this script and working out a few small bugs with me – I never could’ve done this myself, and probably would’ve had to resort to manually posting the items on Gemini myself. As for the why – well, why not? When I ran across Gemini, I instantly felt it was a great fit for OSNews, and would give you as readers a different, far more optimised way of accessing the site. While I doubt it will see tons of use, I’m sure there’s still a few of you out there who would be happy with this version of OSNews.

Drupal Association blog: Digital service providers share market insights in the 2023 Drupal Business Survey
The Drupal Business Survey invites business leaders worldwide to share their insights and metrics on the Drupal business ecosystem. Relevant topics to many digital service providers include business development, community, marketing, and human capital. The results of this survey are analyzed and aggregated into a comprehensive report and presented at DrupalCon Europe, the yearly Drupal summit. Participants can support anonymously.
The Drupal Business Survey is about sharing business insights between Drupal service providers worldwide. Drupal’s open source ecosystem thrives by a collaborative community of tens of thousands of professionals worldwide, working together on the popular digital experience platform. Drupal has an Open Web objective, allowing anyone to work with the web or contribute to it. The Drupal Business Survey gives meaningful data for Drupal experts to make business decisions for the coming years.
The survey allows Drupal service providers and independent professionals to share insights on various topics. Its comprehensive results on business outlook and customer engagement has been a valuable guide for digital service providers, even to those working with other technologies but Drupal. Data is coming in from all continents, with most of the companies being in business for 10 years or more.
Drupal business booming
In 2022, over 15% of the respondents indicated seeing a significant impact on their digital business by the pandemic. Covid-19 clearly was a catalyst for investments in the digital market. At the same time, the size of deals made grew by almost a third. Non-Profit and Government made the leading markets for Drupal last year, with Education at the top with over 60% of agencies working with these sectors. However, comparing all the industries over the past 5 years, the number of Drupal projects in Non Profit shows a significant decrease. Acquiring new talent is constantly challenging and business leaders need to find new ways to get the right people in.
The survey revealed that open source software, like Drupal, has maintained its popularity, which will not come as a surprise to those following the industry. Janne Kalliola: “One of the most significant advantages of open source compared to similar SaaS solutions is the flexibility and manageability of pricing. Organizations can easily adapt their use of Drupal to changing circumstances, such as the pandemic or the energy crisis, and they can use Drupal without large license fees.”
CEO Dinner
The Drupal market is looking forward to how digital service providers are using Drupal and how the Drupal market has evolved this year. The results of the 2023 Drupal Business Survey will be presented at the CEO Dinner at DrupalCon Europe. DrupalCon Europe is the yearly Drupal summit where over 1500 Drupal users and professionals meet to exchange ideas and further evolve Drupal. DrupalCon Europe is from 17-20 October in Lille, with the CEO Dinner on Tuesday, October 17th.
About the Business Survey
The Drupal Business Survey supports Drupal businesses worldwide and is organized by a team of industry experts Imre Gmelig Meijling (React Online), Janne Kalliola (Exove) and Michel van Velde (independent) in collaboration with the Drupal Association. The 2022 results can be viewed here.
Drupal is the open source Digital Experience Platform used organisations including Amnesty International, Tesla and DHL.
