casey :3

today is another rendition of @tbernard 's wonderful #BoilingTheOcean hackathon in #Berlin ! (and i'm finally back in town at the same time it's happening)

there will be a lot of local-first peer to peer related work, systemd/mkosi topics, and hopefully some #postmarketOS stuff too

i'll be hacking on pmbootstrap unshare support (removing the need for root access to use pmb), and maybe looking into pmb/mkosi integration (building on the mkosi support for pmOS that @craftyguy has been working on the last few days)

totally forgot to post about this before but if you're in town and wanna stop by do come along, details are here

@cas @tbernard @craftyguy Speaking of p2p, are there any p2p-based apps or platforms you would recommend for casual users to try out? I just discovered Jami, which seems promising. Also there's Keet, but it's still in beta and not open source yet.

@craftyguy @tbernard @stovis honestly not sure, i'm not really involved in this stuff but the p2panda and GNOME folks are working on a collaborative text editor called aardvark, still a ways away from being ready but it's looking good

"collaborative text editor called aardvark"

Ah! Necroposting since I only saw this thread now in @linmob Weekly news :)

We talked once about a PoC for peer to peer collaborative text editing with #libreoffice, this is the video of that presentation:

@maryjane @cas @linmob @craftyguy @tbernard Cool demo! So aardvark is like a libreoffice plugin?

@stovis

No, aardvark is a separate project:

The video demo was of work done by @allotropia with Libreoffice.
