Der erste Tag der #SFSCON ist vorbei & ich fahre gerade nach Hause. Ich habe so viele (neue) Menschen getroffen, mich sehr viel ausgetauscht - es war wirklich unglaublich! 

Außerdem habe ich den #SFSAWARD erhalten (auf lokaler Ebene), es steht zwar mein Name drauf, aber ich finde, dieser Award gebührt uns allen - vor allem der Fediverse Foundation, denn ohne euch wäre diese Instanz nicht dort, wo sie heute ist! 

Ich freue mich bereits auf Morgen 

Es ist wieder #sfscon Zeit! Kommt vorbei 🥳
Zusammen mit der @fsfe @kirschner ging der European #sfsaward an Jean-Baptiste Kempf!

Der lokale #sfsaward ging an unseren Admin von tyrol.social @adrian 🥳🥳

Well done!
