if you are interested in my #FOSDEM talk on Sunday at 15:30 in the #SBOM devroom, I have published a demo that outlines what we will be discussing: https://codeberg.org/kaniini/fosdem-sbom-demo
Are you into #opensource ? And in the #eu ?
There is a Call for Feedback by the European Commission for a 'European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy' For strategic approach to #foss in Europe, and a framework for using open source within the European Commission. You can respond until 3 February. It is useful to respond even if your point has already been submitted by someone else. The number and repetition of arguments is used as a weight. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en cc #fosdem
I'll try a 20 min summary of the #p2p lecture series in Berlin from last year at #FOSDEM!

Anyone needs a European Sleeper night train ticket from Brussels to Berlin for tomorrow Wednesday the 4th of February? I cannot take the train, I can't cancel the ticket but it's transferable.
Did you travel to #FOSDEM by rail this Friday?
No you didn't. Stop lying.
We're coming back to Brussels! CentOS Connect is January 29-30, 2026, the two days before FOSDEM. Come collaborate on the future of Enterprise Linux. CFP and free registration are now open.

I have seen a number of people at #FOSDEM with their laptops out. A small number of them have little covers on their cameras as a sort way of protecting privacy.
None so far have privacy shields on their laptop screens, and anyone sitting beside or behind them had pretty good views of what may have been happening on those screens.
Generic privacy shields are available for about 40€. If your laptop screen has magnets in it (eg MacBooks) then they will attach with those. If not, it’s fairly easy to apply, and they can be taken off at will.
If you travel, or regularly go to conferences or work in public, then please invest in one.
@cwebber is about to speak at #fosdem
"How to level up the fediverse"
https://stream.fosdem.org/h2215.m3u8
(I hope I got the link right)
First talk today at the Social Web Devroom we have @pfefferle talking about the state of WordPress's fediverse integration
#FOSDEM #ActivityPub #fedidev
Do you know any politicians who are participating in #FOSDEM? I would like to give them my letter and encourage them to #LeaveX: https://leavex.eu/letter
Tomorrow we will have the MEP @alexandrageese joining an interesting panel
The Fediverse and the EU's Digital Services Act: solving the challenges of modern social media?
Please note some last minute schedule changes to the #SocialWeb Devroom in room H.2215 at #FOSDEM - a few talks have shifted their times a little to cover spaces from that could not be presented https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/social-web/
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.
i'm unfortunately not at #FOSDEM this year, but:
— @cas probably has a QCS6490 powered MNT Pocket Reform at the @postmarketOS table
— @liaizon just traveled there all the way from berlin by bus (AFAIK they're mostly there for fediverse stuff, but surely don't mind to chat about MNT related things as well)
