In 13 days from now, join the #LocalFirst and #CRDT devroom at #fosdem26 #fosdem in Brussels!
#FOSDEM
⚠️ We're 900 € short on funds for our stand at #FOSDEM
FOSDEM is the largest free and open source software conference in Europe. Attending FOSDEM allows us to promote #Luanti, bring the community together, and connect with other open source projects.
If you can, please help by giving to our non-profit fundraiser. Any contribution helps lighten the load
Dear #retrocomputing nerds, I'm pretty close to done with my reimplementation of the MEP2 mail protocol. This allows such fine email clients as "The Wire", "Mailroom for MCI", "Lotus express", and last but not least "Emma" from functioning again (with a suitable modem emulator)
I've written this thing as part of my #fosdem talk on MCI (come see me on Sunday!)
I was thinking tho, would there be some interest in me running a real node, with SMTP interop? Would people want to use it?
@bert_hubert De komende editie van #FOSDEM gaat interessant worden op dit onderwerp.

Ciao Livello Segreto/Fediverso,
quella splendida persona di @zughy sta raccogliendo fondi per portare il progetto Luanti al #FOSDEM.
Per $motivi è saltato uno sponsor, riusciamo a tamponare un attimo donando anche piccolissime cifre qui: https://opencollective.com/luanti/contribute/fosdem-95636/checkout
@ItaLinuxSociety si è già attivata, ma un aiuto dal basso non fa mai male in queste occasioni 💚
Bonus: @KSGamingLife che intervista Zughy a proposito del progetto (e non solo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVpLCUtjeJc
I'm starting to plan my #fosdem trip. If anybody is planning to go by train from (or via) Koblenz (or along the route), and would like a company, please let me know :yay:
FOSDEM and CCC both have the same problem, they're so big it's impossible to sift through all the recorded content. So, let's try the fedi recommender algorithm (i.e. other humans). Which talks of the last couple of years did you find super interesting? And not just the big name keynotes! #fosdem #ccc
⚠️ Mancano fondi per sostenere le spese di @Luanti al FOSDEM
Quest'anno Wikimedia Italia ha rifiutato la richiesta di sovvenzione, tardando ampiamente nel comunicarcelo.
Il FOSDEM tuttavia è alle porte e 4 giorni a Bruxelles non costan proprio poco. È la fiera più grande d'Europa di software libero, per noi fondamentale.
Qualsiasi contributo può aiutarci ad alleggerire il carico. Ringrazio @ItaLinuxSociety per l'aiuto repentino ❤️

Hello #Fediverse,
as #FOSDEM 2026 is approaching I was thinking about bridging the livestreams to #PeerTube as well.
Streams are under #CreativeCommons license that allows sharing videos, so there is no big deal in it.
As there are plenty of rooms (and we dibs Social Web for #VHSky 😀 ), it would be fun to coordinate streaming accross multiple instances to stream as much rooms as possible without overloading single instance.
What do you think, anybody interested?
Also, anybody has idea how to actually bridge m3u to PeerTube? @j4n3z maybe?
Planning my #FOSDEM activities.
If you're running a party or a meet up - please let me know 🙂
Semana del Código Abierto de la UE 2026
Bruselas
26 enero 2026 - 01 febrero 2026
En línea
Cada año, a finales de enero y principios de febrero, miles de personas de Europa y de todo el mundo se reúnen en Bruselas para debatir sobre código abierto y tecnologías abiertas.
La principal atracción es FOSDEM, la mayor conferencia de código abierto de Europa, que ha inspirado una variedad de eventos paralelos, actividades sociales y talleres. Para quienes estén interesados en la tecnología abierta, la política digital y los desarrollos de la UE, la Cumbre de Políticas de Código Abierto de OpenForum Europe reúne a líderes y responsables políticos de código abierto. Juntos, estos eventos conforman la Semana del Código Abierto de la UE.

What ... created a private #Matrix room, for coordinating an event at #FOSDEM:
When I want to use the "share this room" link in order to invite a few people.
Matrix presents me a long list of apps and supposedly assumes that I know which client everyone else is using 🤷
The links per client are different, not all the same 🤷
This is just braindead UX, I can't know everyone else's client, and they possibly are using different clients anyway.

This week, Sammy whittles on about the #FOSDEM talk. Aljoscha talks slice verification internals in Bab, and unwinds by playing some Sonic Youth. In this week's comic, Sammy reconsiders her choice of metaphors.
@chillicampari can you transport a knife? If yes, the #victorinox folding tomato #knife is superb. And then any random folding fork or spork I guess.
@chillicampari
It depends if it will isolate or burn your hands :) Bought my stacky thing at Tokyo Hands once but ist is no-name ;)
But as a spoon/knive/fork I can recommend Decathlon Quechua which was thankfully gifted to me at a fedicamp by rufposten 💖
btw;
We have an Policy breakfast in the Policy room and there are also the nice #ActivityPub talks https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/QK7XSV-activitypub-c2s/ and https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/KSEUZT-fedify/ #fosdem
