Hey, all. One thing that’s different this year about the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2026 is that we’re going to include talks about the organizational and social aspects of rolling out Open Source Fediverse software for individuals and communities. Last year, we focused pretty heavily on technical talks from the principle developers of FLOSS packages. This year, we want to make sure the other aspects of Fediverse growth and improvement are covered, too.
Consequently, the guidance for last year’s event, which was focused on how to make a great technical presentation, might seem a little outdated. But on reviewing it, I’ve found that it still has good advice for social and organizational talks. Just like software developers, community builders see problems and construct solutions for them. The solutions aren’t just about writing code, though; more often they involve bringing people together, assembling off-the-shelf tools, and making processes and rules for interaction.
Talks about Open Source software to implement ActivityPub and build the social web are still welcome, of course. We’re just expanding a bit to cover the human aspects of the Fediverse as well.
I’m looking forward to having the interesting discussions about bringing people together to make the Social Web. If you haven’t already, please consider submitting a talk to pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2026…. Select “Social Web” from the “Track” dropdown, and include the length of your talk (8/25/50) in the submission notes. The deadline is December 1, 2025, so get them in as soon as possible!
I just submitted our talk proposal for @roost.tools to FOSDEM! If it’s accepted, you should come to hear about how we’re bringing the open source model to trust and safety, starting with the open source Osprey project that’s already being used in production across multiple large, well-known platforms. 👀
Hey all,
just a reminder that the CfP for #FOSDEM presentations officially ends on the 1st of December, and that applies to our Music Production devroom too. If you have cool stuff to talk about (and I know you do!) please do consider submitting!
Please boost for reach! No idea if I'm using enough hashtags to reach everyone, but feel free to add more if you can think of others 😁
