@VolkerKrause and I ( @Nucleus ) are on the #39c3. If you have any questions or would like to talk with us, visit us at the #KDE booth. We are also thinking about holding a self-organized session tomorrow. Anyone interested?

We experienced an issue with our notification worker. Many broken subscriptions have slowed down the delivery of notifications. This is now fixed, and you should receive notifications in near real time again as soon as the queue with pending notifications is empty. This could still take a while. We apologize for that.

And on towards Rome, for joining the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Implementation Workshop 2025 starting tomorrow. @Nucleus and I will present the work on @foss_public_alert_server there on Thursday.

Did you know that you can, if you are Canadian, get useful tree-cutting advice via the CAP alert infrastructure directly into #FOSSWarn?#strangeCAPAlerts

Thanks to the support of @papjul and @chunshek from #breezy-weather we can now aggregate CAP alerts from China. 🚀

It is really nice to see what we can achieve if we are working together.

@nivea Das neue Portal sieht gut aus und bietet neben aktuellen Warnmeldungen auch noch sinnvolle Extrafunktionen- und Informationen. Aber die Warnungen an sich scheinen grundsätzlich die selben zu sein, die man auch auf warnung.bund.de bekommt, wenn man da noch Wetter und Hochwasser einschaltet. Aus mir unbekannten Gründen scheinen allerdings einzelne DWD-Warnungen (mit Stufe 1) auf der warnung.bund.de Seite zu fehlen. Behaltet das doch gerne mal im Auge.

Wir haben versucht offizieller #Warnmultiplikator in #Deutschland zu werden, aber sind vorerst damit gescheitert. Wir wollten teilen was dabei über die deutsche Infrastruktur, die Verantwortlichkeiten und die Bedingungen für Warnmultiplikatoren gelernt haben und haben daher unseren ersten Blog Artikel geschrieben.

Zur ganzen Geschichte:

We tried to become an official so-called "Warnmultiplikator" in #Germany to get official API access to emergency alerts, but we have failed with it for now. We wanted to share what we learned about the German infrastructure, the responsibilities, and the requirements for "Warnmultiplikatoren," so we wrote our first blog post.
