Hi @ben_hr @tchambers,
I feel you, but there's friction harming #inclusion and should not go unnoticed. It takes #empathy to go a step further than the #ableist "scratch your own itch" underpinning a lot of #FOSS.
You can reduce friction and still be anarchist. See my #fosdem 25 talk https://mro.name/offdem/slides.pdf
#FOSDEM 2026 service toot:
ULB usually allows us onto their premises on the last weekend before the semester. While we officially never plan another FOSDEM until next edition's kickoff during August, it's reasonable to expect FOSDEM to happen on 2026-01-31 and 2026-02-01.
I wouldn't sign any contracts for that date, but in case you want a rough plan, now you know.
Is it fair to assume that #fosdem 2026 will take place on January 31st/Feb 1st, or could it be a week later? #fosdem26 #fosdem2026
Eerie realization ... I can actually tell -- at a glance -- which of my friends is doing their primary social media use through algorithmic platforms and which Friends are not. Yikes!
Friends in algorithm social platforms (#Bluesky, anything #Meta, #Tiktok) are all collectively talking about similar things in similar ways. These are personal Friends I know well, not bots or faux profiles. Their posts read as though the same topic is expressed cosplaying in their voice. The Friends who are using non algorithmic environments are each talking about totally different things. Or when they do discuss a current event, the substance of their commentary, and what aspect of it they're discussing, and the pace at which they discuss it, is more varied and flows much differently. It stands out sharply whenever I view my mixed bridge content feeds, where posts in my feed from multiple protocol bridges are side by side as I sift through.
This can't be a good thing. Makes me feel like the need to help ppl escape from misery profiteer social ecosystems is more urgent than it has ever been.

Wie KI die Open-Source-Entwicklung verändert
KI wirkt an vielen Stellen auf die Entwicklung von Open-Source-Software ein. Sie bietet Chancen, stellt die Community aber auch vor neue Herausforderungen.

How AI is changing open source development
AI has an impact on the development of open source software in many areas. It offers opportunities, but also presents the community with new challenges.

@ericgoldman I was also fascinated by @fukami's monstre spreadsheet on legislative definitions across ~30 different EU acts, shown at #FOSDEM 2025 ("Legislative overlay: anticipating and navigating through regulatory vectors", https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5325-legislative-overlay-anticipating-and-navigating-through-regulatory-vectors/).

My FrOSCon talk "Samsung Camera to Mastodon Bridge" has been accepted! 🎉
It will be a longer version of the lightning talk https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5026-samsung-camera-to-mastodon-bridge/ with more reverse engineering, more python/flask code, and more live demo!
Should I present a topic at FediCon?
Hoping to attend FediCon this year! It's fantastic that it's in Canada, which makes it much more convenient for the North American crowd than FOSDEM.
I usually do some pretty technical topics, but would something more high level be better?
Earlier this year I presented a talk on a way to fix the "quiet fedi" problem. Maybe I'll fix federated private group chats this time around :smiling_imp:
@leobard @fedihost @digitalcourage @iftas
While the #Fediforum was online, there are some places we need to get developers together. #FOSDEM for instance, from what I heard, seemed like a place people from the Fedi all convened. We need to help fund travel for those folks as well imo.

Geert-Jan und Raoul von @CEDO haben bei der #FOSDEM über das Thema freie und offene Software an Schulen gesprochen: "Public values and FOSS for education"

probably 243 days left until #fosdem 2026 🍺
I just uploaded a Blogposting about my trip to FOSDEM in February.

At FOSDEM 2011 I attended the talk of @ossington about the #libregraphicsmagazine. I met her, @aiscarvalho and @rlafuente afterwards. It was a pleasure getting to know them and meeting them at FOSDEM the following years.
The talk:

The video:

I cannot tell what gem the libre graphics magazine is.
They lived the future 15 years ago.
You have to read to understand:

This here is the project page for #fediscovery.
I understand it to be an optional, decentralised spec for users on participating fediverse server instances to opt-in to discovery of search services.
I won’t respond to comments about whether you think search is a good or bad idea - the page has a video, link to spec and the slides presented at #FOSDEM.
