A New Era for Free Software Non-Profits – Software Freedom Law Center

At SFLC, we have been more than watching these developments. By careful repeated experimentation with the new procedures, we have built confidence in our ability to interact favorably and reliably with the Service’s new application types and review procedures. We can now confidently take a free software project from scratch through state incorporation, governance formation, application for federal tax deductibility, to complete legal and fiscal independent self-governance, with the right to receive tax-deductible contributions, in 90 to 120 days, or even less.

This transformation gives us and our clients the best of both worlds.

SFLC Files Bizarre Legal Action Against Its Former Client, Software Freedom Conservancy – Conservancy Blog – Software Freedom Conservancy

About a month ago, the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC), _the not-for-profit law firm _which
launched Conservancy in 2006 and served as Conservancy’s law firm until July 2011, took the bizarre and frivolous _step of filing a legal action in the United States Patent and Trademark Office seeking cancellation of Conservancy’s trademark for our name, “Software Freedom
Conservancy”.

Concerning a Statement by the Conservancy – Software Freedom Law Center

On Friday, while we were putting on our _annual conference_at Columbia Law School, a puff of near-apocalyptic rhetoric about us was _published_by SFLC’s former employees, Karen Sandler and Bradley Kuhn, who now manage the Conservancy, which was originally established and wholly funded by SFLC, and still bears our name. We were busy with our conference when this happened, which seems to have been the point. We are glad to have the chance now, after a little much-needed rest, to help everyone avoid unnecessary hyperventilation.

Goran J Writes

Subject: HiDPI Support in Linux
Message: Hi Chris and Noah…and Rikai

Today I bought a brand new 28” Samsung UHD monitor so I could enjoy its glorious 4K resolution in my Linux Mint desktop. When I turned on the monitor I was caught by surprise. The image was beautiful and everything was super sharp….and super super tiny at the same time. Searching through the Linux Mint and the nVidia settings I could not find HiDPI option so I can scale my desktop and have a more enjoyable environment. Internet search came back with results that HiDPI in Linux is still not a standard feature. With the amount of 4K display on the market I wonder why. Is there any other Linux Distro that offers HiDPI scaling or I am out of options?

Thanks!
Goran J

Dave M Writes

Subject: Contact other listeners
Message: Hi Guys/Gals!

I often hear Chris mention anecdotes of listeners getting hired into Linux jobs, and I’d like to hire some of them.

Since there’s no official forum aside from Reddit, and I’m not keen on the idea of posting job listings on Reddit, what would you suggest as a way for me to reach out to JB listeners in the New England area (or willing to move here) that might be looking for a Linux-centric tech job?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Dave M
