For anyone at #FOSDEM planning to attend my #XMPP talk about authentication - there has been a schedule update, it will be at 13:50 rather than 16:05 as previously advertised in some places.
I'm in Brussels attending @fosdem this week-end to talk about Podcasts 2.0 and @Castopod! Let's meet this sunday at 1pm, auditorium Janson. “Podcasting 2.0: it's all about Interoperability (How Podcasting 2.0 will save the Open Internet)” #fosdem #podcasts fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event…

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?)
But hey ... does that mean that open source has 'won'? No, says Nolan. We still have largely no control over the majority of services + platforms that facilitate much of people's daily lives #fosdem
The period 2000-present characterised as "open source is everywhere". FOSS used in 92% of all apps. People from Microsoft are among the largest contributor group to open source #fosdem
Nolan sketches the period 1970s-2000s as one in which free software advocacy gets cast as communism or anarchism. Labels that one should resist? :think_mind_blown: #Fosdem2023 #fosdem

@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.
#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)
The Public Health Pledge event badging standard can be used to quickly convey info about Health and Safety protocols, to help prospective participants assess risk.
