Anyone doing the #Bonfire #install #party Friday?

I'll be attending! Come check out Bonfire and get a better understanding how Bonfire can help take the #fediverse to the next level!
Am I the only one out of the loop on what @Bonfire is? Am I correct on that it's a collection of software (some of it in Elixir?) to do different federated things? Bonfire Social seems to be a Mastodon alternative? https://bonfirenetworks.org talks in very lofty terms about a network but a network of what? There seems to be a website builder (Mosaic) that also has some ActivityPub support?
🔥 Want to start your own Bonfire instance?
We’re hosting online install parties, come set up your server alongside others! Bring your questions and curiosity, we’ll figure it out together and support each other through the process.
✅ Ideally have a (sub)domain + server with DNS set up, or just follow along and take notes.

🌐 Can you help translate Bonfire into your language?
We’re looking for translators and bilingual folks to help localise Bonfire extensions and UI into as many languages as possible — especially before the 1.0 release!
No coding needed — just a love of words.

P.S. You can also help by translating this very message and/or sharing it! The more communities we reach, the more accessible Bonfire becomes. 🌍💬
Bonfire, by default, has federation turned off when you spin it up.
I think this is a good choice. It allows you as the admin time to configure settings, add policies, artwork, etc. - make sure all is working, before you start knocking on other people's federated doors.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
