Hell, yes. This is nothing but good news. 
I've been using Unified Push + Element + Fedilab via Nextcloud and NextPush and it's been remarkably simple and reliable while keeping all that sweet, sweet metadata out of the Goog's hungry clutches. Thank you!
Can't wait for Yunohost to support sliding sync so I can shift to ElementX.

GET PAID TO DO IT!
The @gnome Foundation is offering a one-year contract (with potential to extend) to work on the above on behalf of the Foundation. You’d probably interact with me, the GNOME design team, and core maintainers of GNOME components.

This is neat! In our place the rule is even 1.5m clearance for overtaking within city boundaries and 2m on country roads. But that‘s pure theory, as most car drivers don‘t know or care about this rule. (And we don’t have an official sign for it.)
As to #FOSS here, I know about (though have never used) the https://www.openbikesensor.org hardware that measures these distances in real life. Also very interesting!

Moin @ADFC_Hamburg @CriticalMassHamburg @VCDNord – kanntet ihr schon https://mapcomplete.org/ghostbikes.html ? Irgendwer in Hamburg hat da jedenfalls schon einige (noch nicht alle) eingetragen.
Bin drauf gestupst worden, als ich gestern vorm Start der CM mit @pietervdvn von @MapComplete ins Gespräch kam, der zum #37C3 hier ist. – Ich glaube, es gibt ziemlich viele faszinierende Schnittpunkte zwischen #FOSS, #VerkehrsWende und #Aktivismus überhaupt :)
