Hey #Fosdem! Jason is heading to the #Github Open Social event tonight at Scott’s Bar and Kitchen— and he has a limited quantity of these #Thunderbird stickers and T-shirts to give away!

Want one? Find him between 8pm and 10pm. He’s wearing a Thunderbird hoodie.

Before we get to the (possible) remedy, some taking stock:

* FOSS today doesn't compete with proprietary, it facilitates it
* Labour of FOSS developers is "increasingly dictated by firms"
* FOSS contributors often have precarious employment, are among the first to be cut (apparently?)

@hub If you browse the #FOSDEM tag here on the Fediverse, you'll see lots of photos of very crowded spaces full of people not wearing masks at all. Once in a while, you might see someone wearing a mask, but it's rare.

Same for all the video streams so far.

I've heard from people who are there that they estimate >= 95% of the crowd aren't wearing masks.

And hallways and rooms are packed full.

😟

#FOSDEM is basically admitting they're a super spreader event.

There are many science-based things conferences can do. The Public Health Pledge (@phpledge) has badging principles with suggestions on how to help prevent people getting sick (at different levels, in various ways): phpledge.com/badging — but FOSDEM isn't doing these things. They could.

(Many of us attending in-person got FOSDEM flu in years past. But now COVID is in the mix)

Hoping that everyone stays well despite this. 🍀

In two weeks (4 & 5 February 2023) #FOSDEM will take place in #Brussels and I'm asking myself if we can have a #Friendica developers & community meeting there at some point over the weekend.
