Programmer. Female. Business woman.
Married with another woman since 2005 (together since 1986).
Open source. Vegetarian. The Netherlands. Classic liberal. Pro-EU. Metalhead. Pro-Ukraine.
I am T, B, A and Q in LGBTQIA+.
Shite. Sorry.

Meanwhile, I am a bit jealous of people who see the normal spectrum, instead I can see a bit further, for me a rainbow in the sky has two bands beyond red and three beyond violet. Heat sources burn brighter for me, as do modern car lights and "blacklights" in bars. Too often hurtful.

I do because I have terribly good eyes and don't need all that light.

Als je dat leuk vindt, wil je wellicht ook eens Wacken Open Air proberen.

There's a lot more to say about this. Fortunately, Liz wrote blogs about this topic, and about her work on this. Four blogs already. Very educational. And if you are a developer of software, or of hardware with software on its components, you will at some point in your career bump into this subject.

Including working with PURL: Package URL (sounds like Perl, but is not related). So now she made modules for that too, and even working together with the PURL community.

@lizmat started with SBOM for Raku. The Software Bill of Materials will probably become a requirement that every software producer must provide. Liz is working hard on making whole packages with modules and documentation to make SBOMs possible for Raku, and she advancing nicely with this project.

My @liz started work on this for Raku, nudged and supported by Salve J. Nilsen , who I know for being a great organiser of events and an overall nice and smart guy.

Failure to comply can mean being banned from the EU-market. Another risk is fines of millions of euros for not complying and maybe endangering people / infrastructure.

This all also applies to open source software.

That can be a lot of work and provide many surprises (good and nasty ones).
