I really hope @Bonfire succeeds in their vision for federated groups. This is so important for the fediverse and I can envision many use cases in my own life.

Sadly, I'm not in a financial position to support them right now, but I hope I will be sometime soon.
Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse

@newsmast is working with @Bonfire as a backend as well for their solutions. It's great to see this implementation in progress, I had heard of it before. Curious if they are using the Community flavor.

Today at 17 - 18:30 UTC / 18 - 19:30 CET we'll have an open video call in the internationalist union hall of tech workers' cooperatives and folks who want to start tech workers' cooperatives.

Come on by!

Super interested in the work being done by @Bonfire and @newsmast in building out models for a healthier, local tech/media ecosystem.

We had a great gathering for I ❤️ Free Software Day #ilovefs in Amsterdam! We had a simultaneous Dutch and English reading of a
Ada & Zangemann by @kirschner of @fsfe. Afterwards we had a discussion with @tommi and @mayel of @Bonfire . It was such a pleasure to work with @nicorikken and @Holly . Thank you to everyone who came for the afternoon and brought their kids! Great to read to the next generation.

I'm so incredibly proud of what we’re building at @teamtoot - this isn't just another platform, it’s a community-owned space where the entire team works hard to keep a welcome.

We have 9 spots left for the launch event in #Cardiff - I’d love to see some familiar Fediverse faces and local advocates there to help us kick this off!

If you're ready to see what a digital cwtch looks like in the real world, we’d love to have you with us. Come grab a seat at the table! 👇

If you're in Amsterdam this Saturday join us for reading of Ada & Zangemann by @kirschner@mastodon.social & Sandra Brandstätter in English and in Dutch, followed by a conversation about Free Software maintenance as care work, together with @mayel from Bonfire, at the @internetarchiveeurope@toot.community, Oudeschans 16, Amsterdam on Saturday Feb 14th at 14:00. More information and RSVP here.

@smeikx@graz.social ​you can do so here, thanks! opencollective.com/bonfire-n...

In case you missed it, @Bonfire and the Newsmast Foundation are working together!

You can see the announcement and what we're working on in this wonderful talk by the Bonfire team at @fosdem last week.

(if you don't know about Bonfire yet: it's an awesome project building a network that's community-governed, open, built for people instead of for companies, and engineered to support and empower communities. It's an amazing vision, and one they're well on their way to realize 💫✨)

( ⁂ and of course Bonfire federates with the fediverse 🥰 ⁂ )

Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

Some nice themes running through the #SocialWeb Devroom at #FOSDEM: storytelling from different national and international contexts (Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Europe); new apps and ideas (badgefed, splinter, FASPs, Spritely); building infrastructure and foundational tech (Bonfire, Fedify, Emissary). This is really great momentum! The speaker list today has been wonderful.

@liaizon@social.wake.st definitely! we're doing a presentation at the decentralised communication FOSDEM room tomorrow with that goal in mind!
