Open Source Lightweight Markup Language for Project Management in c/[email protected]

Thanks for the feedback. I think you're saying that it would be good to see an example not just in the spec files, but right in the readme that GitHub displays when you visit the repo. That's a good idea. I'll do that. I'll also make it more clear that the primary work is in that spec file.

The design was inspired mostly by markdown. I initially mentioned that in the readme but I guess it was lost in my edits. I will add that back. Thanks again.

Open Source Lightweight Markup Language for Project Management (github.com)
 

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to introduce you to SprintLang, my first open-source project, an experiment born out of my own need for a more organized approach to project management. I realize it might be a niche solution, but I believe sharing it can lead to valuable feedback and, who knows, it might just be the tool someone out there didn't know they needed!

SprintLang is a Lightweight Markup Language (LML) specifically designed to simplify the complexities of project management. It provides a structured way to define and manage projects using plain text files, similar to how you'd use markdown.

The design philosophy behind SprintLang is centered on readability and writability, striving to maintain a balance between simplicity for human users and being easily parsed by computer programs. It sould be expressive enough to cater to the diverse needs project management while keeping the user interface as simple as possible.

Why plain text? The beauty of plain text is its simplicity and universal compatibility. It doesn't require any specific software and can be read and edited on any device. This makes SprintLang a versatile tool for project management that isn't tied to a specific platform or toolset. I plan to write some tooling around the format, but I don't want it to be required. It also suits my CLI first workflows.

SprintLang is open-source and licensed under the MIT License, one of the most permissive licenses. This means you're free to use, modify, and distribute SprintLang however you like, as long as you include the original copyright and license notice. I chose the MIT License to encourage the widest possible use and adaptation of SprintLang.

While SprintLang is currently in its early stages, I believe it has the potential to be a powerful tool for project management. I'm eager to see how it can grow and improve with community input and contributions. If you're interested in contributing to SprintLang, whether it's providing feedback, suggesting features, reporting bugs, etc, I would love to hear from you!

Red Hat strikes a crushing blow against RHEL downstreams in c/[email protected]

I hope you can correct me here, but I don't believe Debian offers any commercial support. That's what people are paying for. It is kind of amazing to be able to call a reliable OS vendor when your hardware vendor is blaming the OS and you need a third party to get involved.

I completely understand your perspective. I also made the decision to migrate from Fedora, a move that was echoed by several of my colleagues. This shift wasn't widely reported in the usual tech podcasts and media outlets I follow, which surprised me, considering my coworkers had already made the switch. It might be a coincidence, but I can't help but wonder if there's an under-the-radar trend taking place.

Recent experiences with corporate mergers and acquisitions have left me cautious, so when I heard about Red Hat's decision to part ways with long-standing Fedora contributors, I began contemplating alternatives. Given IBM's involvement, I had a gut feeling that the situation might deteriorate over time. I didn't realize Red Hat had some of these FOSS issues well before the buy out.

I decided to test a transition to Debian 12. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I must say, if things continue on this positive trajectory, I see myself sticking with it for the long haul. I've always appreciated Fedora's blend of stability and cutting-edge features. Debian 12, on the other hand, has proven to be incredibly reliable. Despite my risky decision to install the latest experimental GNOME packages, it has held up well and is up-to-date - though I understand Debian's release schedule might not provide the same consistent flow of new packages that Fedora does. That said, I'm comfortable with a setup that prioritizes stability and adherence to free and open-source software principles.

I'm going to throw my support behind this one as well. I'm circling back to Debian after a long stint on Fedora on my primary machine. I've been running Debian 12 on my desktop for several weeks now and it's been pretty great.

it is one version behind fedora in gnome releases, so I installed the latest gnome from the experimental repos and that worked pretty well. I don't know if I would recommend that for anyone else, but it worked for me.

I have a few personal servers still running CentOS 7, but I will be migrating them to Debian slowly over the next few months. I suspect I will go fine. Debian organization to maintain FOSS ideals over the next 5 to 10 years, so it seems like a good default for me.

I have read about Vanilla OS. It is Debian based with some neat features stacked on top that might be fun for a desktop OS. I can see myself switching to that on the desktop if they deliver on all their promises.
