One year ago today, I wrote "Fediverse for Freedom", a blog post about why public institutions must own their own social identities and content online. It spawned another post, a talk at FOSDEM, and stickers! I'll be talking more about these topics at #FrOSCon on Sunday. #FediverseForFreedom

We were delighted that @andypiper from the Mastodon team was the featured keynote speaker on day 2 of #FrOSCon this year.
Andy spoke about the importance of the #Fediverse and of decentralisation in order to preserve digital freedom and sovereignty.

#Conversations_im is now available for free on Google Play until August 18th.
Whenever there is a conference with a strong #XMPP presence, I like to make the app available for free to make it easier for attendees to install the app and give XMPP a shot.
I'm attending #FOSSY and #FrOSCon this weekend and next.

My #FediforumFriday update this week is that I've been tinkering around at the MVP end of the fediverse, trying out projects like #snac (and also, honk). I really need to write some of these experiences down somewhere! Also, preparing for my talk at #FrOSCON next weekend.
What are you looking at that's interesting and #fediverse-related right now?
#FrOSCon is all about Free Software and Open Source and takes place soon - with @credativde GmbH and hopefully me 😅
Every year in late summer, FrOSCon brings together people who are passionate about Free Software and Open Source. The event is organized by the Department of Computer Science at Bonn Rhein Sieg University together with the FrOSCon e.V. and offers many interesting talks, workshops, project booths, and opportunities to connect with others from the community.
What I really like about FrOSCon is the atmosphere. Developers, companies, contributors, and open source enthusiasts come together to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and simply have a good time. The social event on Saturday evening is also always a great opportunity for networking and interesting conversations.
I am very proud that we as #credativ will be part of FrOSCon this year as a stand partner. It is a great chance for us to present our open source-projects (like #ProxLB, #ProxPatch, #ProxSnap, [...] but also all the other ones like #Plutono/#Vali and the credativ-pg-migrator for #PostgreSQL) and meet so many people from the community in person again.
At the moment I am unfortunately still unsure if I can attend personally, because I would also love to prepare a talk about #PegaProx for #Proxmox VE based clusters and share the story behind it, the progress over time, and some of the challenges and experiences along the way.
LET'S MAKE #OPENSOURCE TOGETHER!

My talk about #PegaProx for #Proxmox VE based clusters at the @FrOSCon conference has been accepted!
I'm happy to share some more insights about the project, development stages, integration of the ProxTools collection (like #ProxLB, #ProxPatch, #ProxSnap,...) and more! We'll end up in a live demo of PegaProx, orchestrating several Proxmox clusters, XCP-ng based ones and maybe I'll have already finished another great thing until that date 🙂

At the upcoming @FrOSCon conference, I'm talking about #PegaProx as a multi-cluster manager for #Proxmox VE and #XCPng based systems.
During this talk I share some information about how and why this project got crafted as well as some information about the projects' history.
Afterwards, I move over to a live demonstration where we will have a look at some great features that make the life easier for operators.

It was a big weekend for the Mastodon team at #FrOSCon in Germany.
If you're curious what we've been working on and what's coming up, as well as updates across the #Fediverse more broadly, @dave provided an update in his talk, "Taking a Fresh Look at the Fediverse".
Fun fact: David was also one of the founding organisers of FrOSCon!
