I'm looking for open data stats & graphs about the #coronavirus outbreak. The best I've found up to now is https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ; is there anything better? (The #WHO daily reports are great, but less browsable.)

My team is hiring a senior #devops engineer to work on @SWHeritage. Challenges abound, it's for the greater good, and it's all #FOSS. Learn more at https://www.softwareheritage.org/jobs/

I wanted to ask about that, so thanks for anticipating the question :-)

I do agree that legitimacy/visibility is more of a concern than actual influence on conference content, but I wasn't sure we were on the same line.

Having clarified that, the visibility issue is shared by a lot of FOSS conferences (including #FOSDEM). It deserves: a) broader conversation than #CopyleftConf, b) sustainable alternatives (donations? higher registration fees? etc).
