It's been a really good day here at #FOSDEM and has been well worth the trip. Tomorrow I've got a few less talks and looking forward to a lot of mooching and catching up with folks.
I ended up spending later half of the afternoon in the social Web dev room and got to listen in on some talks I wasn't expecting, whole thing has been really good and I look forward to getting stuck in looking at a whole load of projects I either had been meaning to look at or had never come across before today.
Excited for tomorrow and it's great getting to spend the evening with some folks I've met today enjoying some pizza!
An absolutely awesome talk from @benpate and highlighting just how early we all are in the journey of the Fediverse as a whole.
The LOLA data portability standard from W3C sounds really awesome and I really hope we see this sort of standard adopted across the fedi as it helps solve one of the bigger pain points where your posts are stuck on the instance you write it on.
There's a whole load of other really good points that again continue to align with the sorts of feedback I see regularly about "why fedi will never be mainstream" and the more talks I'm listening to today, the more confident I am things will become more mainstream and easier to adopt for those new to the network.
Absolutely loving the Social Web dev room here at #FOSDEM and the variety of topics and were getting deep now around legacy and death and some really interesting thinking points about how to prepare for the e entuality.
It's certainly a topic I haven't put a whole lot of thought into before personally and right now handling accounts and the process to turn accounts into memorandum have some gaps. Very interested to find out more as the project develops.
The #Frendica talk at #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26 looks really interesting and the user defined algorithms sound really good. Frendica has been on my radar for a while and looks really cool, It's going on my ever growing list of software I need to look at more!
It's awesome seeing the Toot Wales / Twt cymru app featured on the Bonfire talk at #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26
Really excited to meet @jaz and others at their apps launch event later in February.
Bonfire is now another project that looks really awesome and that I want to spend some time looking into.
Have been wondering around the stands in the K building at #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26 and found a couple of interesting projects I haven't come across before.
The one that looks really interesting is MFA management supporting tokens and other authentication types that can hook into key cloak which I haven't seen before.
Nothing Mastodon related or that will help the instances but interesting stuff I might end up wanting to use in the future.
Achievement get. Find somewhere that sells a bottle of water at #FOSDEM and also find the @Mastodon stand and get yourself a cute pin.
For those that are here at #FOSDEM and wanted to say hi, I'm the one wondering around probably looking lost on an @atlasmediagroup fleece and polo.
Should be wondering around a lot of the afternoon as the talks I'm planning to join are a bit lighter this afternoon.
