@reiver, is #FediCon going to be held in #Vancouver again this year?

Organizers Log:
I have been looking for a new location for FediCon 2026.
The location we used for FediCon 2025 is very nice — but also very expensive. (I paid for it out of my own pocket.)
I am trying to find a new location that is either less expensive or, if possible, free.
I'd like to try to keep the ticket prices low. And, one of the biggest things that goes into the ticket price is the cost of the location
Organizers Log:
I just talked to someone at SFU (Simon Fraser University) about trying to find a location for FediCon 2026.
He is a friend-of-a-friend.
We talked about what we would need for FediCon, in terms of a location, etc.
He needs to ask around (internally at SFU).
Hopefully, can get more details this or next week.

I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.
It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.
I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:

It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.

@boris @scottjenson I’m also on Bluesky, I’ve been waiting to see other instances interacting with it or even, a bridge to ActivityPub (heck! Even Threads was trying!) I’m still waiting. If you put all your efforts on selling just one place, if you don’t put your weight into promoting the community (the protocol is irrelevant to the user, most Fediverse users don’t know about ActivityPub), you have no interest in federating, imho.
@dmian @scottjenson ATProto doesn’t have “instances” and this is part of the disconnect with fedi users looking for these full stack installs as they call them.
Here’s my presentation from #Fedicon where I walk through a dozen or so different apps / data types https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/beyond-microblogging-atproto/
Some re-use Bluesky’s microblog type, many others have built their own.
It’s not better, it’s just _different_ with different trade offs.
@mastodonmigration @quillmatiq @mmasnick Mike always talks about decentralized social media but BlueSky and AT protocol haven't really moved the needle. Meanwhile in the fediverse there's Mastodon, Loops, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Miskey, etc, etc, etc...
@mike @quillmatiq @mmasnick hey Mike Fraser you were in the audience when I gave this talk at #Fedicon weren’t you?
https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/beyond-microblogging-atproto/
It has a list of some of the many projects in the ATProto ecosystem
Please don’t erase the #ATProto community. We’re on the same side.
