⚠️ Mancano fondi per sostenere le spese di @Luanti al FOSDEM

Quest'anno Wikimedia Italia ha rifiutato la richiesta di sovvenzione, tardando ampiamente nel comunicarcelo.

Il FOSDEM tuttavia è alle porte e 4 giorni a Bruxelles non costan proprio poco. È la fiera più grande d'Europa di software libero, per noi fondamentale.

Qualsiasi contributo può aiutarci ad alleggerire il carico. Ringrazio @ItaLinuxSociety per l'aiuto repentino ❤️

FOSDEM 2026 Social Web Speakers

I have been trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.

I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.

Hello #Fediverse,

as #FOSDEM 2026 is approaching I was thinking about bridging the livestreams to #PeerTube as well.

Streams are under #CreativeCommons license that allows sharing videos, so there is no big deal in it.

As there are plenty of rooms (and we dibs Social Web for #VHSky 😀 ), it would be fun to coordinate streaming accross multiple instances to stream as much rooms as possible without overloading single instance.

What do you think, anybody interested?

Also, anybody has idea how to actually bridge m3u to PeerTube? @j4n3z maybe?

Planning my #FOSDEM activities.

If you're running a party or a meet up - please let me know 🙂

Looking for a recommendation on ultra-light eating utensils. Due to a timing mishap on my part I'll be attending FOSDEM this year with an insecure front crown (the permanent replacement will not be ready until after I'm already on the way). It's already fallen out once and when it was put back in they said to cut everything up really small when eating. So, I am looking for a very light sturdy travel utensil kit for my backpack that is also easy to keep clean.

@neil I've really liked these reminders in our collaboration so far. Thank you for the fantastic pro-bono work you did for @Mastodon this year. I'm looking forward to continue on the topics we have open and then also to meet at #FOSDEM ! Enjoy your time off :)

Oooooh my custom made #TheFutureIsFederated sweatshirt has arrived at a pickup point! Going to retrieve it later today and I hope it turned out ok.

I intend to wear it at #FOSDEM on the big day for the Social Web talks.

All fingers and toes crossed it looks good and fits well. Otherwise I have two other Fedi t-shirts as backups 😅

This year I am attending my first FOSDEM onsite and oh boy the amount of talks I want to see is depressingly high 😳 Are there any people I know that will go there and want to say hi? 👀

Anyone driving from Berlin to Brussels for #FOSDEM?

As 2026 begins, we are excited to see the projects from the new edition of #YH4F, kicking off this month, and to start preparing for #FOSDEM and Ada & Zangemann in Dutch!

At the same time, we are looking back at the last month of 2025: from #YH4F in Hamburg to our two latest Software Freedom Podcast episodes, and our updates on the CRA and our work in the Apple v. European Commission litigation.

@Edent

Thanks. I assumed that Belgium in general would be fine for using cards. It was at #fosdem in terms of stands and the surrounding things that might or might not require cash.
