Robert Riemann 🇪🇺<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/@blog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>blog</span></a></span> I find <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>matrix</span></a> inspiring. My impression on how people at <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fosdem</span></a> interacted with it is also different, more positive.</p><p>It's difficult to know what the majority of fosdem attendees thinks of matrix until you run proper statistics.</p>
joeldn<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Edent" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Edent</span></a></span> 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 <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fosdem</span></a> 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.</p>
Marcus Rohrmoser 🌻<p>Hi <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@lproven" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>lproven</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@kleisli" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>kleisli</span></a></span>,<br>but self-operated!</p><p>Elaborated a bit at <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a> in "Emancipated Social Web for the Unprivileged" <a href="https://mro.name/offdem/slides.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">mro.name/offdem/slides.pdf</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Markus Feilner<p>We were at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a> 2025, didnt do any talks this year, but it was awesome. no other conference this year so far... :-)</p>
Matthias Kirschner<p>It's never too early to start thinking about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a>! <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/@bkuhn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bkuhn</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@karen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>karen</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.io/@lexelas" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>lexelas</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@richardfontana" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>richardfontana</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.io/@tmarble" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>tmarble</span></a></span> and I would like to submit a proposal for the "<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Legal</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Policy</span></a> Devroom" to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@fosdem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fosdem</span></a></span> as soon as they open the CfP. Like last year we would like get feedback by you, our community:</p><p>* What did you especially like in 2025 <a href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/legal-and-policy/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track</span><span class="invisible">/legal-and-policy/</span></a> ?</p><p>* What would you like to see improved?</p><p>* What topics would you like to see in our devroom (permitted that we would be accepted again)?</p>
joostruis<p>In 2010 I went to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a> on behalf of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sabayon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sabayon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> distro I was working on back then. It was a great inspiring experience! Meeting up with upstream <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Gentoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gentoo</span></a> developers. Talking with people working on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> projects. Best talk IMHO was this one.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx3KuE7UjGA" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=bx3KuE7UjGA</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Lorenzo Miniero<p>I haven't given up on the idea yet of trying to propose a music-related <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/devroom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>devroom</span></a> at the next <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fosdem</span></a> in 2026. I'm wondering what name could be used, though? Just "Music production" may be limiting, as that would cover, e.g., projects like Ardour or DrumGizmo, but not the likes of Faircamp, which helps musicians self-host their work. Finding the right scope (and abstract) for such a devroom might be challenging, but not impossible IMO. Any feedback/idea?</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Musicians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musicians</span></a></p>

Marcus Rohrmoser 🌻<p>Hi <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Edent" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Edent</span></a></span>,<br>I still remember your refreshing <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/FOSDEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a> talk. But with due respect, I find it disconcerting to use size to <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/advertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>advertise</span></a> in an environment based on <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a> and to subordinate personal rights to this.

@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:
https://about.gitlab.com/direction/ai-powered/ai_framework/

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:
