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.
I'm planning to be at #FOSDEM this time next week so if there you are planning to be there and would like to catch up please do drop me a message.
I'm also planning to be in Brussels for a couple of days after FOSDEM to be able to meet with folks and catch up with folks that might not has as much time during the event itself but do have time in the week so let me know if you'd like to catch up :)
After missing the last 2 years of FOSDEM due to forgetting about it and poor planning on my part I'm really excited to be spending this weekend actually organising my stuff ready to go!
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!
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.
Made it to #Brussels for #FOSDEM after a pretty good train ride. Went much quicker than flights of a significantly shorter duration.
Going to enjoy a nice sprite now while the hotel preps the room and then I'm going to have a bit of a relax. Maybe a mooch around the area after almost trapping myself in a shopping mall by coming out the wrong metro exit 😂😂
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!
Achievement get. Find somewhere that sells a bottle of water at #FOSDEM and also find the @Mastodon stand and get yourself a cute pin.
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.
Haven't had the best start to my #Fosdem travels. My uber took a silly route to my house so I ended up missing my train by about 30 seconds.
Turns out booking an advanced single and allowing 30 mins to get to the station isn't enough and I'm now a lovely £60 out of pocket to get the next train despite my original (first class) return being £80.
This is why I hate the trains in the UK.
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.
