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.
@j12t Despite its past friendliness to the open-source community, I’ve been hearing that #gitlab now has a stronger commercial focus.
While #activiypub doesn’t align with that revenue growth, AI integration does:

At #fosdem 2025, I heard many communities appreciate #forgejo and #codeberg as embodying what the open-source world had hoped to get from #gitlab and #gitea.
As far as I know, #forgejo is committed to implementing federation, which is already a feature in development:

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
#FOSDEM 2026 service toot:
ULB usually allows us onto their premises on the last weekend before the semester. While we officially never plan another FOSDEM until next edition's kickoff during August, it's reasonable to expect FOSDEM to happen on 2026-01-31 and 2026-02-01.
I wouldn't sign any contracts for that date, but in case you want a rough plan, now you know.
Is it fair to assume that #fosdem 2026 will take place on January 31st/Feb 1st, or could it be a week later? #fosdem26 #fosdem2026
Wie KI die Open-Source-Entwicklung verändert

How AI is changing open source development
AI has an impact on the development of open source software in many areas. It offers opportunities, but also presents the community with new challenges.
My FrOSCon talk "Samsung Camera to Mastodon Bridge" has been accepted!
It will be a longer version of the lightning talk https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5026-samsung-camera-to-mastodon-bridge/ with more reverse engineering, more python/flask code, and more live demo!
Should I present a topic at FediCon?
Hoping to attend FediCon this year! It's fantastic that it's in Canada, which makes it much more convenient for the North American crowd than FOSDEM.
I usually do some pretty technical topics, but would something more high level be better?
Earlier this year I presented a talk on a way to fix the "quiet fedi" problem. Maybe I'll fix federated private group chats this time around
