@reiver @tchambers @andypiper we could do a little trial balloon first. Short online event. Talks not unconference (unconferences need high bandwidth back and forth conversations) English only. Signup form that asks people for their languages. See how many people we can reach and based on that […]

Next: meet in-person in South Tyrol in Northern Italy in about a month at sfscon.it.

And to be notified of the next online FediForum […]

I may have just broken the minds of ActivityPub developers at #fediforum, but the question I posed was "what happens if we do this differently? What other ways of building the Fediverse are there? Why are we building monolithic applications?"

Someone talked about trying to make FediForum more friendly to people in Asia. Although I live on the west-coast of Canada, in Vancouver — I am in Asia right now while I am attending FediForum. #FediForum

Really thrilled to see a session on making Fedi welcoming and safe for POC at #fediforum , along with a bunch of other wonderful sessions proposed for today.

Very annoyed that I can't make 95% of today's FediForum though...!
