We've just published a blog post about our time at #FOSDEM this year, in case you missed out - there's plenty to catch up on, from the session recordings.

Someone at #FOSDEM asked us to put some promotional materials on our website that they could print for an event. There is now a section for that on the Branding page with our first poster:

I hope you enjoyed some of my pics from #FOSDEM's Social Web track. I have many more but I don't want to overwhelm your feed with them.

I have seen the fantastic photos @sturmsucht has taken and I cannot wait for him to share them. Keep an eye out and follow him.

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! I can't believe FOSDEM was a week ago already 🥲

Linux Pro audio... like a pro! is up now. Some tech issues but always great to get introduced to someone's workflow!

It was an honor to speak at the #FOSDEM. Thank you for the possibility to share my message on how to lead change from closed source to #opensource and why contributing to this transition actually matters more than ever.

In case you missed the talk and would like to join the #FOSS revolution, I'm happy to share the recording: video.fosdem.org/2026/aw1120/7…

FOSDEM achievement = unlocked: yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting @bagder in person and grab some cool #curl stickers, yay! 🥳

I was really sad to miss his keynote (early train, sigh), but I'm planning to watch it online.

It was amazing to meet so many wonderful people at #FOSDEM... I've already started a countdown on my phone for the next edition. I can't wait.

And now: reviewing hundreds of photos I took with my phone and my Canon DSLR. The nostalgia is real 🥲


The #FOSDEM talk from @haubles and myself about Mastodon’s upcoming community governance plans; our vision, mission and values; and updates to the server recommendations, is now available to watch. I was honoured to be asked to co-present this session.

More to come on all of these topics over the coming weeks, on our blog and on the main project account.

I’ll be posting about the other sessions from the #SocialWeb Devroom over the next few weeks, as well.

Tornato a casa, sto ancora metabolizzando 😅
Al #FOSDEM ho incontrato persone che non sapevo ci fossero, perso chi volevo trovare (e anche chi era con me 🙃).
Un continuo trovarsi e perdersi, non ho fatto tutto quello che pensavo, ma ho fatto cose che non immaginavo avrei mai potuto fare.
E alla fine abbiamo trovato un bel posto per incontrarci tuttə. #cosebelle

Grazie a chi c’era e soprattutto a @magostinelli, @ecofra, di @fedimedia & ai mitici @_elena e @evan ❤️


Our second #FOSDEM talk is about to start: Hocuri talks about the upcoming #multirelay profiles, which use more than one address to exchange messages!

Live Stream is here:

Recording will be available here later: fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event…


If you take just one thing away from #FOSDEM this is it.
👇🏽
“If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away”

or putting it another way:

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.
#OpenSource #SaveDemocracy
Boost if you agree!

#FOSDEM #Fediverse #Privacy

We need to be careful with this Fandom-ization of the fediverse. Fandom creates blind followers and makes critical thinkers potential enemies of the groupthink.

Mastodon is a giant dangerous experiment that does NOT protect user data and has no e2e encryption!

This is NOT a win for humanity, but creating the next big brother network masked as "cool b/c federated".

We need to build privacy aware networks now!


Spreading the word in other rooms than the home crowd today thanks to @_elena

Dear Fedi friends,

Good morning from #FOSDEM!

Yesterday was pure magic: I loved every single presentation in the Social Web devroom, with devs and Fediverse champions sharing their inspiring work.

I didn’t post anything because I was so absorbed in all the talks (plus @liaizon and @Sascha did a fantastic job chronicling the event).

I can’t stop thinking about one of @benpate’s closing slides:

“Every single thing you do to improve the Fediverse is a win for humanity”

YES! 🙌


Really strong start of #FOSDEM by @RichiH 🔥 The main room is filled to the brim.

Find Richard's slides and a video recording here: github.com/RichiH/talks/tree/m…


Ever wondering where the QR codes in #deltachat come from? each of them is handmade, as everything in delta :) #fosdem


The Thunderbird team is ready for day 1 of FOSDEM! Come visit us in Building F, level 1 to chat with the team, learn what we're up to with desktop, mobile, and Pro, and of course, grab stickers!

And don't forget Brendan's talk on Exchange in Thunderbird at noon today in the Modern Email Devroom (K.4.201)!

#Thunderbird #fosdem


First talk today at the Social Web Devroom we have @pfefferle talking about the state of WordPress's fediverse integration
#FOSDEM #ActivityPub #fedidev


After the nice presentations of @haubles and @andypiper, I've asked them, "How can a grassroots movement like the Fediverse compete with social networks like BlueSky that have the resources to travel to Brussels every other week?"

I also mentioned the @leavex campaign, which makes it easier for us to contact politicians and ask them to leave X and possibly join us. And how some politicians are already asking to remove their names from the group of politicians still on X.

I'm glad I could meet @_elena again and discuss these issues.
