health @ Savannah: GNU Health project to implement REUSE compliance

by

The REUSE initiative[1] is a Free Software Foundation Europe program that facilitates the documentation of licenses of Libre projects like GNU Health.

After several meetings with our friends from FSFE, we have decided to implement REUSE in all GNUHealth components, that is:

  • Hospital Management System
  • MyGNUHealth Personal Health Record
  • Thalamus
  • GH Federation Portal

We believe that for large projects like GNUHealth, with multiple files of different kinds (code, graphics, data, ..) REUSE will be a great companion.

In this article we are going to see how to read the dynamic data of the node or entity or field values to the template file, which are specific to the paragraph template. Generally while the Paragraph module is used, default template suggestions given by the paragraph module or the template suggestions provided by the hooks are used and further template design is done. Here’s the article wh

Community Working Group posts: Code of Conduct team update: July 13, 2022

by

As previously reported, the Community Health Team has started to have regular, bi-weekly meetings in an effort to develop and update the Code of Conduct (CoC) for the Drupal community.

Community Health Team members present at this week’s meeting were

We began the meeting with a review and updates related to our community outreach plans. We also briefly discussed how best to collect feedback, especially from individuals who want to provide anonymous feedback. We also discussed some additional Drupal community groups we want to reach out to for this effort.

In an effort to continue familiarizing ourselves with other communities’ Codes of Conduct, we  decided that we’d ask our community members which Codes of Conduct they’d like us to review. If you have any thoughts on this, please let us know at drupal-cwg at drupal dot org. We will also utilize the @drupalcommunity Twitter account for this effort.

We discussed what the next few steps in this process should be. One option is to figure out the “categories” of Code of Conducts that exist for open source communities, review relevant examples and categorize them. With this research, we’ll be in a much better position to decide on the category(ies) of CoC we envision for Drupal. After that, we’ll draft a list of elements we feel should be included in our updated CoC.

Finally, we set a goal for the completion of a new, revised, ready-to-adopt CoC: December 14, 2022.

A number of Drupal-related groups and individuals have confirmed their willingness to provide feedback to this effort as the process proceeds. If you, or a Drupal-related group, is interested in being part of this process, please let us know at drupal-cwg at drupal dot org.

Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we are also quick to point out that the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for people to connect with others, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. […]

Microsoft Validation OS

by
Microsoft Validation OS is a lightweight, fast, and customizable Windows 11-based operating system that you can use on the factory floor to diagnose, mitigate and repair hardware defects during Windows device manufacturing. Validation OS boots into a Command Line environment to increase reliability on the factory floor and supports running Win32 apps, smoothing the transition from early hardware bring-up to retail OS and apps development. This is an intriguing Windows variant I’d never heard of before. Validation OS boots to a command line and sports a basic UI framework, and is supposedly capable to run Win32 applications, but if the early reports on forums are anything to go by, it’s currently quite broken and effectively useless since Win32 applications do not actually run. As such, I’m not entirely sure who or what this is for, or if this is a very early release that needs a lot more work. In any event, it’s free, so no harm done in giving it a go.
