I'll be presenting at @fosdem this year on accessibility with:
Alternative Text for Images: How Bad Are Our Alt-Text Anyway?
Hopefully #accessibility minded folks at #FOSDEM will be able to attend. I think I've another unique angle to cover #OpenSource and #a11y
If you will attend your first #FOSDEM this year, or want to know more about this Open Source Conference happening on the 1st weekend of February each year in Brussels, this is a good summary (from 2017, but mostly still accurate).

Doing some research for this years (as yet unannounced) #FOSDEM talk, and found a review of one of mine from last year:
"Magic and Software
Not even going to spoil this one, just go watch it.
techtipsy rating: 10/10, magic magic magic."
Yeah - I smiled :)
For the AlekSIS project, a very active open source school information system, we are looking for a freelance #Python and #Django developer with knowledge about #OAuth and #OIDC.
The task is to implement several features in django-oauth-toolkit.
If you think you might be that person, please ping me and @hansegucker!
For those who attend, #FOSDEM will be a good opportunity to meet if you are interested, but that's by no means a requirement.
Oh wow, today I learned that #Namecoin is still a thing. Apparently, 3 of their affiliates were at #38C3 and will attend #fosdem2025 .
This really surprises me. Although, there is no reason to believe that this project is dead, I am pretty surprised that they still announce news on their website.
Cool, cool ...
@diffrentcolours Ahoy! I agree that monitoring without a plan to make any changes isn't that helpful.
However, I think having some data makes it easier to propose changes in future. Some other folks and I made a submission a run a devroom to ourselves for #FOSDEM 2025, and we were looking into the options for setting up HEPA filters in case we were accepted.
This is likely gonna be a multi-year project - I'm going in with my eyes open 😅

Had another look at #KDE Itinerary: It's good to store tickets and grab information from already existing emails and such.
But it's a phone application. I do my #travel planning on the big screen, and enter most of the data there. I don't see a good option to edit the data on the laptop (running KDE) and sync everything over to my phone.
Another reminder set for #FOSDEM next year.
