A great talk so far from the @Mastodon team here at #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26 On how the project is being structured and how it's building communities and bridges.
A real highlight on being resilient and self reliant something that I think is likely to be a theme this weekend.
Also really interesting to see the shift from depending on off the shelf commercial products to those they can self host.
Kudos @andypiper and @haubles for an awesome talk!
A really interesting view on cloud providers and frankly highlighting why digital sovereignty is even more important than ever.
Highlighting that continuing to go down the route of depending on overseas based / founded cloud providers is going to cause long term capability issues for the rest of us.
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.
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.
A really interesting #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26 talk all about the WordPress activity pub plugin and how it interacts with Mastodon and the Fediverse as a whole.
While I'm not a WordPress user myself it is interesting to understand how it's built and how it works under the scenes.
Good morning #FOSDEM
It is busy here in the opening talk session.
2 hours of #FOSDEM talks back to back complete. Time for a coffee and a wonder around before I go and try to get my apple watch replaced after it died last night!
