Less than 1 hour and 30 minutes to the start of #fediforum! We start with welcome, then the first batch of demos (the second is tomorrow) and then collaborative agenda making. The range of topics people proposed during registration is extremely long, and includes all of https://FediForum.org/topics @misc wants to discuss "How can we make it so that the fediverse is truly built and directed by all its members, not just coders?" at #FediForum tomorrow and the day after. Indeed one of the great challenges of #floss development, and various projects are very different at attracting and using the advice of other experts, as @scottjenson, for example, recently explained. This is even more important for social tech, like the #Fediverse. (sorry for editorializing here) jonathanglick@mstdn.social wants to discuss "How we can and will improve the Mastodon user experience, especially for new users." at #Fediforum tomorrow and the next day. Indeed, so it would be nice we had some @Mastodon core developers participating #Mastodon The countdown says 14 and a half hours until the start of #fediforum It's gonna be good. I hope. I think π We certainly have a great crowd that's registered to come. Lots of smart and motivated people. URGENT: @judell would you be able to demo tomorrow instead of Thursday, in what's currently listed as Dick Hardt's slot? They are dropping out, saying software is not ready. @davidslifka wants to talk about "How to help mastodon and the fediverse grow" and help with solving problems around "Algorithms, funding, moderation, marketing/onboarding" at #FediForum starting in like .. 15 hours! Registrations are still open: https://fediforum.org/ @stpaultim wants to talk about "After Mastodon, what should I try next? Tools for managing multiple accounts? What's new in the Fediverse? " at tomorrow's #fediforum https://mas.to/@aaronklemm wants to talk about @bdegraf wants to talk about #identity, #trust, #governance, #cooperatives, and networks of trust at #Fediforum. Glad to have you, Brad! JPEGuin@mastodon.social is going to demo Mammoth, the Mastodon app at #Fediforum, and of course he wants to talk about that! About half dozen people in the #FediForum Meet & Greet already went off into a really deep technical discussion on #ActivityPub / #Mastodon / client / server / possible intermediate layers / composable #UI. Can't put a bunch of smart people into a room without them coming up with smart things almost immediately ...  @J12t since this is a commercial event I wonder if there'll be recordings of the talks later on. Change of plans for tomorrow's FediForum / W3C Social Web meeting: there seems to be a lot of interest in this meeting, and we don't know how many concurrent users the volunteered Jitsi server can reliably support. So we'll move to Zoom for this meeting. Updated details at https://fediforum.org/fediforum-w3c-swicg-2023-03-29/ So much interest, in fact, that some people joined the meeting already 24 hours early! I got there today at 10am (instead of tomorrow when it takes places) and there were four people! @cypherhippie wants to talk about "moderation conflict resolution, moderation economic models" at #fediforum It's starting tomorrow! And we have a Meet & Greet in less than 2 hours! https://fediforum.org/ I don't actually know what happens to the Javascript countdown we have on https://fediforum.org/ after it goes to zero Wednesday morning. Should I trying to find out beforehand, or simply be amazed what kind of overflow we'll be getting? @J12t I vote for wait and see what is happening once it reached zero. Makes life more interesting π  @J12t Since you asked... It just disappears into oblivion. There is an else clause that wipes out the div contents when reaching 0 (I tested by editing the function directly in countdown.js from Chrome DevTools). We set up a #group for #FediForum. I have no idea whether anybody will use it, but here it is: Follow it to follow along at FediForum. More reliable than hashtags. Just realizing the only way to record Jitsi conferences is to stream to .... YouTube! That's sort of counter-productive if you try to do open tech rather than surveillance capitalist tech! Or are there Jitsi recording alternatives that I'm just not seeing? @J12t Alternatively, GalΓ¨ne (https://galene.org/ #Galene) is a video chat system which allows recording directly to the filesystem of the host (server). 150th mass shooting of the year in the US today. And itβs still the first quarter of the year. https://www.massshootingtracker.site Very interesting graph of where disaffected Twitter users say on their #Twitter profiles they are migrating to.
