ResearchBuzz: FirehoseThe Conversation: What 20 million bans reveal about the strain on Wikipedia’s volunteers. “I’m a researcher who studies social media platforms. I analyzed two decades of the site’s moderation records to understand the effect of these conditions. I found changes in behavior that appear to prioritize content quality while weakening the project’s ability to recruit and retain new volunteers.”

Ms. Que BanhCommunity #volunteers are always needed at our local #VictoriaToolLibrary - entirely run by volunteers.
Annual membership for Victoria Tool Library is $100 - very affordable for what you get from membership. It costs over $100 to rent power tools/machinery from local businesses for a few hours.
Get more information on membership & sign up to volunteer if you're interested in helping out!

State of the MapWorking with #OpenStreetMap?
State of the Map is where the global #community comes together every year ! In August 2026, the global OpenStreetMap community’s flagship #conference comes to #France.
We expect more than 500 participants from all around the world. For three days, we’ll get together for panels, #workshops, demos and plenty of #networking between #volunteers, professionals, #researchers, public sector #organisations… and maybe you?
EveryLibraryIt's pretty easy to set up shop as an armchair archivist, and many organizations are looking for “volunpeers” to contribute to the process. Sounds attractive enough, but what exactly is an armchair archivist? https://action.everylibrary.org/be_an_armchair_archivist_and_help_make_history_discoverable

We (as @fosdem ) are listening to the community and have learnt from it. At least one food truck has #vegan stuff and there are other #vegetarian options too.
Looking at the numbers of what get sold, even if there are meat less options, is the other side of the medal.
We care about the #community, #attendees, #volunteers and will act accordingly.
