Summer 2023 FOSS contributions by the Yaal Coop team

This summer we decided to sponsor two authors of tools we are depending on. This is a small amount for the moment, but hopefully this will grow or we add more recipients to the list.

We spent a bit of energy on Canaille, and implementing the big part of our NLNet subsidy, that is the database backend genericity. The inmemory backend allowed us to use canaille in pytest-iam, a tool that bring a lightweight OpenID Connect provider to be used in your unit tests.

Sponsoring

• Marco 'Lubber' Wienkoop for his work on Fomantic-UI, a nice CSS framework we use in canaille. Fomantic-UI is used on other tools we rely on, like Forgejo.
• Hsiaoming Yang for his work on authlib, a python authentication library we use in canaille.
