I’m back from FOSDEM! Here’s a little blog post about our first time attending as ROOST:

My fosdem talk is up!

I make a case for more platforms to support the ActivityPub client API, and how we should look beyond microblogging for future growth of the ‘verse

After playing around with @postmarketOS at #fosdem this weekend, I canceled my preorder of another phone and am going full on with PMOS. The gorgeous phosh-UI combined with fully OSS makes a strong case for this ecosystem.

@samvie Sandra Barthel from the Alliance of Open Networks and Public Spheres is giving an excellent talk about digital sovereignty in the Social Web / Fediverse 🔥 #FOSDEM

Why do we have such a gender imbalance at #fosdem & in tech in general?

A real conversation.

Marty: Maria, what do you think about ABC?
Peter: I don't want to speak for Maria, but... (keeps talking for a few minutes).
Anna: Thank you for sharing your perspective, Peter, but I would love to hear Maria's perspective.

If you observe someone dominating a discussion and answering questions that aren't directed at them, please be an ally and moderate the conversation in an inclusive way🧡

My #FOSDEM 2026 talk is out: @servo Streams reimplementation 🎥

Also, I was really happy to meet the Servo team in person at FOSDEM.

Back from #FOSDEM and it was great! It was so cool to see people there and experience it, as while it may not be Nivenly's first FOSDEM it was definitely mine.

So many notes for how to attend next year 😎

If you take just one thing away from #FOSDEM this is it.

“If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away”

or putting it another way:

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.

Good morning Fedi friends,

I just finished selecting and color grading the photos I took this past weekend at #FOSDEM in the Social Web devroom.

There are some really nice ones of speakers and I look forward to sharing a few here...

But first: I wanna ask the speakers permission because... CONSENT.

So stay tuned 😊

Wishing everyone a great day!

This was a good look at what open source maintainers are having to put up with when when people use AI tools for reporting issues:

Hehe, I’m having way too much fun with this https://fossasia.org badge from @fosdem. How’s my tiny pixel art @roost.tools logo? 👀
