We want to bring T-Shirts to FOSS-North!! (I mean, a conference without T-Shirts? C'mon!)

*If* we had T-Shirts (which we'd likely sell) what size would you prefer?

Let's get this straight...

Trump would rather pay US$1BILLION of public funds to BLOCK renewable energy and deepen deadly fossil fuel pollution and dependency...

than invest a SINGLE CENT to protect people from higher bills and worsening weather extremes.

It’s almost as if he’s entirely in the pocket of oil and gas corporations or something

The "IT Reuse for Good charter" is interesting.

(Although I say this as someone whose business runs almost (but not quite) exclusively on second-hand / ex-corporate computers.)

Meet Fedibook!

The idea came from thinking about what it actually takes to get regular users onto the fediverse. Mastodon is great (i love it), but the follow-based model feels unfamiliar to some. Friends and Groups though — that's something everyone already understands.

So Fedibook is a fediverse platform built around exactly that, using ActivityPub. Think federated address book meets social network, with the kind of social graph people are already used to.

Current status:

- Friend requests across servers working
- News feed working, with visibility levels: public, friends-only, or local server only

Hoping to open up for early testing and feedback soon. Open source of course.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!
