Watch out for this banner at #FOSDEM! A bit more than a week left and you can meet a large part of the Mastodon team and buy some of our merch in building H, level 1! @fosdem
Visit us at #FOSDEM, building H, level 1! You can say hi to our team or tell us what you’d like to see in Mastodon next. Mugs, t-shirts, enamel pins, and even free stickers available! #Merchtodon
A large part of the Mastodon team will be at #FOSDEM this year! We will have a table for Saturday with (hopefully, depends on manufacturing 🤞) some merch to sell. A good opportunity to skip the shipping fees 😉
We hope to meet many of you and make a lot of connections with other people from the FOSS community there!
Mastodon will be at #FOSDEM this year! Come and say hi at our very own stand. And we're bringing some #Merchtodon goodies! Our stand will be in building H, level 1.
Lots of people came to the #Mastodon stand at #FOSDEM today. That was pretty cool. I’ve had a number of lengthy conversations about features, challenges, and so on. We sold a lot of mugs, which makes me happy because it’s my favorite item we’ve made. We’ll be there again tomorrow. Building H, level one.
Interesting announcement at #FOSDEM. The folks working on matrix (open source multiple messaging app) just announced that they’ve been working with WhatsApp to implement cross platform messaging.
This is because it’s mandated by the European Digital Markets Act.
Deadline for this to happen is March 7th (i think), when we see what is actually possible. Can a kind soul share a link to a helpful summary where I can learn more?
Since announcing the idea of #Matrix 2.0 at #FOSDEM, we've been busy building out full real-world implementations for folks to play with, and today we're super excited to take the wraps off Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix. https://matrix.org/blog/2023/09/matrix-2-0/ 👀🎉🎊🍾👀
If you're at #FOSDEM it's likely you've been in a poorly-ventilated, crowded room with someone carrying the flu, RSV, or COVID.
It's not too late to wear a mask to protect yourself.
Please consider wearing a mask on your trip home. Don't attend mass infection events and get into a train with cancer patients, babies, people with asthma, etc.
#FOSDEM 2024 will be happening in a bit more than 1 week in Brussels!
Catch my talk "From phone hardware to mobile Linux" on Saturday morning or "Open Source for Sustainable and Long lasting Phones" (together with @agnes007 in the big Janson room!) on Sunday afternoon!
Or come by the @postmarketOS (+friends) stand in the AW building!
If you’re going to a talk at #FOSDEM by someone who is the sole maintainer of code you rely on, wear a mask! If you’re one of a small number of contributors to an open source project, wear a mask!
We talk about “bus numbers” but at an event without a public health pledge, your project should consider “COVID numbers”. Long COVID hits marathon runners, young people, vegetarians and meat eaters, people with the vaccines, etc.
We are running out of mugs, so come quick if you want one! We also have screen printed cotton t-shirts and enamel pins. Building H, level one! #FOSDEM#Merchtodon
That was fun! I think the @Mastodon table at #FOSDEM was the busiest I’ve experienced at an event for a long time - so great to hear from people that use the platform every day! The team enjoyed the chance to meet you - thanks for coming by! More #Merchtodon tomorrow… #WhoIsJohnMastodon
@fosdem#FOSDEM hack. We couldn't refill the hand towel dispensers in the toilets. So the #FreeCAD people designed a key for us, #Prusa people @3dprinting#3dprinting it for us, and the cleaning staff could refill everyone's hand towels.
