@Edent so sorry to hear there's spam on matrix. it's been safe so far for me since 2019. i've enjoyed using it to tempt loved ones towards the idea of respectful technology, and found it useful at #fosdem when one of our speakers left their spectacles in a devroom; the next session used our matrix area to contact us and reunite said glasses with their eyes. i really like it for voice and video calls, and not sure what else to use? for chat @delta is v nice.
Hi @lproven @kleisli,
but self-operated!
Elaborated a bit at #FOSDEM in "Emancipated Social Web for the Unprivileged" https://mro.name/offdem/slides.pdf
FOSDEM 2025: CryptPad: Recent Advances in Privacy and Collaboration
We were at #FOSDEM 2025, didnt do any talks this year, but it was awesome. no other conference this year so far... :-)
It's never too early to start thinking about #FOSDEM! @bkuhn @karen @lexelas @richardfontana @tmarble and I would like to submit a proposal for the "#Legal and #Policy Devroom" to @fosdem as soon as they open the CfP. Like last year we would like get feedback by you, our community:
* What did you especially like in 2025 https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/legal-and-policy/ ?
* What would you like to see improved?
* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?
@nextcloud @thibaultamartin well, #FOSDEM is also an option and I could join the gathering too
Hi @Edent,
I still remember your refreshing #FOSDEM talk. But with due respect, I find it disconcerting to use size to #advertise in an environment based on #diversity and to subordinate personal rights to this. I understand that newsrooms and advertising agencies feel this way. But that's not what the #Fediverse as I understand it has set out to do.
To get an overview on what Transitous is, check the #FOSDEM talk by @Jbb, Felix and @mlundblad: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4105-gnome-maps-meets-transitous-meets-motis/
Is it ridiculous that I would like to travel to next year's #FOSDEM on a transatlantic ship?
The latest #techlounge is packed with great interviews with great people from #fosdem back in February.
We have Rebecca Rumbul from the #Rust Foundation
A whole bunch of people from Sysdig talking about #stratoshark
Frank Karlitschek of #Nextcloud
And… @andypiper from Mastodon
Put up with the background noise, there's some great content!

@bagder Thanks for your post & your counter
I'm curious: you characterize the EU #CRA as requiring #SBOM's *specifically*. I know the License Compliance Industrial Complex wants it to be true, but I researched this issue for my #FOSDEM 2025 talk…
https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6155-is-there-really-an-sbom-mandate-/
… & IIUC CRA *doesn't* specify SBOMs specifically.
IMO, if the vendor gives the customer complete, Corresponding Source & a 100% @reproducible_builds they've complied with CRA. No one has shown me anything that disproves that.
Call for Papers for Open Source Summit Japan 2025 is open - and I've just submitted a session!
Opening talk of #confconf !
Two more structured talks: about the #FOSDEM video box and what #eventinfra is. Then, unconference!
Dinner and a walk through a park festival at day 0 of #confconf in #Sofia, #Bulgaria
Just in those photos you see people who made #FOSDEM, #DENOG, #DebConf, #PromCon, #GrafanaCon, #CCC / #38c3, #WHY2025, #IndiaFOSS, #COSCUP, #FOSSASIA, and others happen. And more people will come tomorrow.
We're looking to have a packed agenda over this coming weekend, and I will try and do my best to update this thread with tidbits and information.
Made by Woz: how Apple-1 operating system works? Brilliant Steve Wozniak’s code every software engineer should know - Talk by Sergey Panarin at #FOSDEM 2022 conference #RetroComputing #Video https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/retro_apple1/
#Introduction Hello everyone! I'm N9KWK! My local is the #Sangamon Valley Radio Club in #Springfield #Illinois. I got my license a few years ago, but just started getting on the air recently. I currently have a Technician license, but I started studying for my General and Extra, with the goal to be ready to operate in Belgium next February when I go back to #FOSDEM! Thanks to those who make mastodon.radio possible. I look forward to writing about my #AmateurRadio journey here.

Hi @ben_hr @tchambers,
I feel you, but there's friction harming #inclusion and should not go unnoticed. It takes #empathy to go a step further than the #ableist "scratch your own itch" underpinning a lot of #FOSS.
You can reduce friction and still be anarchist. See my #fosdem 25 talk https://mro.name/offdem/slides.pdf
