Congratulations to both of you and to Software Heritage ! @zacchiro @swheritage

Next up. @astornc is speaking, and asking the pertinent question: "How would you design a software archive that still functions in 1000 years?" A question asked by the incredible Roberto Di Cosimo, who, along with @zacchiro are accepting the Community Impact award for @swheritage !

@blogdiva my pleasure!

The Apparel in question

@matthewvenn (who has very very cool apparel this evening!) Congrats Matt! Your work to democratise access to chip design is inspiring

And now the amazing David Cuartielles, self-proclaimed representative of the "people who aren't wearing suits"! As the winner of last years "Skills and Education" award, he will hand it out this year!

And the award goes to.....

Dr Jenny Molloy, for her contributions to Open Science Hardware communities! Congratulations Jenny

(Unfortunately, the official photographer is doing too good a job!)

And now, @nightrose presenting the award for advocacy and awareness! (Lydia was also the recipient of this award last year!)

And the winner is....

"Nowadays. Open Source has a higher purpose: we want to protect the #privacy of our users, the #security of our users!" And "Everybody who is contributing to o Open Source is contributing to a better world"

@Karlitschek, CEO of #NextCloud! Congratulations, Frank!

The awards are now beginning, presented by the delightful @Amandine !

She will announce the Business & Impact award, which is fitting as she was the recipient of it last year for her incredible work on Matrix and Element!

And the award goes to .....

Back to Thibaut who is now saying 'Technology is not neutral: the way you design it defines how it impacts you. With Open Source that design is transparent, so you know how it will impact you", and accepting that "our dependence has become a risk"

Side point: there is an amazing quartet (who are unfortunately inaudible on the video)

Now listening to Thibaut Kleiner of the @EUCommission, telling us "code can be a form of art, just like Open Source can become a real industry"

And a welcome by the amazing @bagder ! President of the European Open Source Academy (Who is looking very dapper, I must say!)

Delighted to be at the @europeanOSacademy this evening In the historic Solvay Library in my home town of #Brussels! Tonight is about recognising the amazing work of Open Source Devs here in Europe ️

In fact, one of my first experiences with a C15 was herding multiple cows inside one. Ask yourself, reader, do you need to carry anything larger than multiple cows?

If not, then the C15 is for you.

There are also convenient benches for humans.

First on PRICE TO BUY:

At the time of release in 1984, a C15 would set you back about €13 000 (adjusted for inflation, euro)

The Cheapest 2018 Ford Ranger will cost you €25k.

A Land Rover Discovery will set you back about €50k

Today, you can get a C15 for €2k

C15 wins.

But what about fuel efficiency? Surely the C15 can't be more efficient than modern cars?!

FUEL COST FOR 100KM RANGE (at €1.86/l):
Citroen C15: 6.3 l/100km - €11.72
Ford Ranger: 11.3 l/100km - €21
Land Rover Discovery: 10.2 litres/100km

C15 Wins again.

I see you, impressed by the C15s fuel efficiency and low price, but you smile "surely", you say "such a small vehicle cannot meet my insatiable craving for capacity".

You are mistaken, dear friend.

CAPACITY:
C15: 2.6m³
Ranger: 1.8m³
Discovery: 0.8m³
