This Saturday (Feb 1) I will give a talk about Elk at FOSDEM 2025 Social Web dev room!
There’s plenty to talk about in the Social Web space, and the line up looks really interesting! Particularly looking forward to hearing about Federation @ Forgejo 😄
Glad to be part of this. See you if you’re there!
Want your fediverse project listed on https://fediverse.info/explore/projects and https://FediDB.org/software ?
Add your details to the CommunityDB repo:

I will merge and update so they are ready for #FOSDEM ✨
Our #TrunkAndTidbits engineering update for January (also including #FOSDEM) is here - here's what we have been working on so far this year. Includes an update on the #Fediscovery project, and some cool projects from the broader developer ecosystem. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/trunk-tidbits-january-2025/
Before we left for preschool this morning, my 4-year-old stopped in front of the table where I left my #FOSDEM stickers. She perused them, picked one up and said "I'm giving this to M" (her best friend).
What did she pick?
"Make art, not billionaires".
You should have seen my smile.
Wishing you all a great day!
P.S.: off I go actually make art - aka a video - promoting the Fediverse and criticizing tech oligarchs
Hope you all had an awesome #FOSDEM, we sure did!
All our leaflets gone, many people stopped by to show off their phones or play with ours, and a lot of "wow I really need to get this on my device"
We had some amazing talks too at the FOSS on Mobile devroom, and some outreach by @anjan presenting pmbootstrap in the embedded devroom.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped run the stand and (hopefully) not lose their voices in the process :D
Safe travels and see you next year
For this year’s #FOSDEM conference, our Django accessibility team organized the "Inclusive Web" track. Here’s a recap of how it went! And recordings of all the talks 🌈

As promised, here is our report from FOSDEM 2025 and the hackathon we did afterwards:
https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/02/10/fosdem-and-hackathon/
Just like last year, it was an incredibly productive time in which we were able to tackle hard problems and greatly move postmarketOS development forward.
This hackathon has been financed through your donations from OpenCollective, thank you for making this possible! 💕
Hey friends! It’s nearly time for #FOSDEM, the annual free and open source event in Brussels. This weekend, the Mastodon team will be based in building H.
We’ll be raising funds for the project with some of our merch - beautiful limited edition winter mugs, pins, and t-shirts. We’ll also have fun stickers to share for free, so you can show your support for Mastodon everywhere!
(just so you know: we’re a bit short on larger t-shirt sizes, so come early if you want to buy one of those)
