[[File:Sourceforge logo.png|left|220px]]<br />'''I've been following the antics of open-source hosting site SourceForge''' for several years now, wanting to give them a chance to turn a sinking ship around with better, more community-friendly tactics. However, it's become clear to me within the last week that the people running the site have fully managed to drive the site off the cliff, never to return to respectability. The site has been packing crappy add-ons and bloatware with select popular software packages for quite some time, but lately the site owners have gone too far. While the need to monetize the site to pay for hosting seems reasonable, the owners of the site have gotten out of hand. (Actually, they don't even pay that much for hosting, if anything, depending on the generosity of others to [http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mirrors/ mirror the site].)

Major projects have been leaving SourceForge in droves, but that hasn't stopped the SourceForge team from doing more harm: they resorted to [http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/06/sourceforge-locked-in-projects-of-fleeing-users-cashed-in-on-malvertising/ taking over abandoned accounts] and repackaging software with malware, etc. Calls for [http://www.itworld.com/article/2935377/open-source-tools/the-slow-death-of-sourceforge.html other projects to leave SourceForge] have gotten louder over the past few days, with the team of well-regarded text editor [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-plus-plus-leaves-sf.html Notepad++ being the latest to leave] while encouraging others to do the same.

We've been linking directly to SourceForge pages for most of our [[:Category:Open-source software|open-source software pages]], but that will now end. External links to SourceForge on open-source pages will be removed, though a text comment will remain if the project can ONLY be found on SourceForge. It will then be up to the user to decide to visit SourceForge and search for the project there. We do not wish for LIMSwiki users to fall prey to their unfriendly tactics, thus the changes.

LIMSwiki has yet another guide for you, this time involving the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. The first edition of the LIMS Selection Guide for ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratories is now live for your perusal. This guide looks at the ISO/IEC 17025-certified laboratory, what roles it plays in society, the efforts it must go to remain compliant, and the benefits is discovers by doing so. It also examines the unique laboratory informatics system requirements for these labs, turning to LIMSpec for clues as to what those systems need to do to help such labs better comply to the standard.

Food Safety 1.svg

First, happy 2023 to you all! With a new year comes a new guide for LIMSwiki, keying in on some of that food and beverage content described in December 2022. Just released is the LIMS Selection Guide for Food Safety and Quality. Similar in vein to the Laboratory Informatics Buyer's Guide for Medical Diagnostics and Research released this time last year, this new guide recognizes the important role the food and beverage laboratory plays in our society towards food and beverage safety and quality, as well as the increasing need for systems like the laboratory information management system (LIMS) to enhance the lab's safety and quality efforts. The guide examines what these labs do, what standards and regulations affect them, and the traits the lab's LIMS should have to best improve the lab's activities. It also provides helpful information about food and beverage LIMS acquisition, including a LIMS requirements specification and information on how to best put it to use. Hope you find it useful.
