“Common arguments for open source include lower costs, interoperability and transparancy… they don't form one coherent narrative but choose whichever works best for each target group. You can use everything, just like ingredients in hot pot”—Rosalind Liu #fosdem

Dear #FOSDEM people. There is a massive #pixelfed server now in Europe: pixelfed.com open for everyone (just people, no organsations).

Hosted from the Netherlands under Dutch law and funded by the @fediversity project.

Please enter a human reason when onboarding (due to AI slop we must do that).

Do join and boost please. 🙏🏻

Pixelfed

Pixelfed is an image sharing platform, an ethical alternative to centralized platforms. Hosted by Fediversity.

Now, Benjamin Bellamy (not the artist, the other one), "Amplify Our Voices: Building Digital Sovereignty on the Fediverse"

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

Purely corporate speak from Mastodon official, boring and self-serving. (And insisting that new users should be directed to one specific instance, but no longer mastodon.social, but mandatory Mastodon and have to agree with the terms of use.)

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

Hey, but there are a lot of free seats in the Social Web devroom at #FOSDEM. Come and join us!

Starting "Tending the Herd: Community at Mastodon"

#fosdem

And with deliberate attacks (think supply-chain), free software is in the battleground.

And we are not ready for that.

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

Then, we moved to hyperscalers/ GAFAM

"Cloud first strategy" means you're proud of your incompetence.

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

The growth of the Internet and of free software was during a time of [relative] peace and hope, after the end of the cold war [in Europe]. It was ideal and we forgot about war, dictatorship and other nasty things.

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

"FOSS in times of war, scarcity and (adversarial) AI", talk by Michiel Leenaars "We need to talk about war"'

Because not everything at #FOSDEM can be fun.

[FOSS = Free / Open Source Software. AI = generating funny answers to stupid questions]

#fosdem

#fosdem

The numbers: 1014 events, 1186 speakers, 66 track/devrooms

"Don't skip the food queue but let staff and volunteers do it."

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

First slide with "sovereignty" on it. "If we lose democracy, open source will be irrelevant"

"Open source was always about politics"

#FOSDEM

@opheliecoelho

#fosdem @Ophélie Coelho

Keynote starts: "FOSDEM is the center of open source" "The center of Belgium" "The center of the European Union" "The center of the free world"

#FOSDEM

#fosdem

And if you wake up early, you'll find seats!

#fosdem

At #FOSDEM, 40% of attendees at the opening talk (in a full room with 1200 seats) raised their hand to signal this is the first time they attend.

This is super exciting for an old fart like me, who has been attending for 25 years.

There is hope for the future!

Welcome fellow hackers, and have a blast.

We’re not that Matrix, but we can also be that Matrix.

Come at our booth see iamb, a TUI matrix client best served on @stereo’s cyberdeck

Favourite part of #fosdem so far: going up to people and thanking them for their work 🥰
#fosdem

#fosdem don't forget to say thank you to the people in yellow[team] and orange[volunteer] t-shirt

Next @benjaminbellamy spricht über das Fediverse und das Zusammenspiel verschiedener Dienste wie z.B. die Integration von @Castopod als Podcast-Plattform mit Mastodon oder Pixelfed.

Auch gut gefallen hat mir die Folie „Du bist keine Zahl“.

Folie die CastoPod vorstellt
Folie: You are not a number: Quality is not Follower count; happiness is not a number of likes; culture is not number of shares
