Hi @gnulinux @ueckueck,
IMO ist der Betrieb der meisten Server zu schwierig und braucht zu viel Know-How. Das blockiert Teilhabe und Admins sind Fremden gegenüber verständlicherweise zurückhaltend.

Da können Server, die keine Admin-Rechte brauchen und auf einfachem Shared Hosting durch Kopie einer Datei installiert werden, helfen: #FOSDEM 2025, "Emanzipiertes Social Web" mro.name/offdem/slides.pdf

Das Fediverse ist also sehr offen - die Server sind's nicht immer, doch das geht auch ohne Admin-Kenntnisse selber.

@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.

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 fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track ?

* What would you like to see improved?

* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?

@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…
fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event
… & 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.

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 #activitypub 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:
