#FOSSY call for papers got announced. But I'm a bit leary going to Canada. Not because I'm worried about Canada, but it seems like the U.S. border control guards at the border are much worse than at the airports. If you're gonna get screwed over it will be there. This is speaking as a citizen […]
Just found out that FOSSY 2026, hosted by the Software Freedom Conservancy, is coming to Vancouver this August!
There is a call for tracks open now - kind of like @fosdem.org devrooms - with a March 13th deadline.
I added it to the atproto community forum, as well as the @dwebyvr.org calendar.
I just counted - #FOSSY was my 11th event this year so far. 🥱
My slides from FOSSY 2025 (Not sure they make a lot of sense without my voiceover. Then again, not like they made sense WITH my voiceover 😂) #fossy siliconflorist.com/2025/08/04/f...
There was a @snipeitapp.com shout out at #FOSSY!
A map of the Pacific rim with with the Presidential seal in the middle above a very strangely laid out text: "Economic Conference of the Pacific Rim"
A relatively low resolution copy of the presidential seal with the signatures of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
The #FOSSY quiet room has a very strange backdrop.
Based on research, apparently this conference was in the ballroom in 1995 and this might have been a breakout room.
Reasonable but it's a weird-ass backdrop for a conference room 30 years later

@geekygirldawn on OSS power dynamics in an age of large cloud providers
The illustration is so applicable in so many domains today but hey there's more hope in #FOSS than in politics at least!

If you're at #fossy, my talk about power dynamics, relicensing, and forks starts at 11:45 in the Science of Community room (333), and even if you aren't here, you can still have a look at the slides: fastwonderblog.com/wp-content/u... #fossy2025
if anyone of you happens to be at #fossy could you please ask karen to check her email? she can search for the subject line with "URGENT" in it. i can't seem to get her by text.

The queerness of #fossy is a delight.
hearing @vyruss.org's #fossy talk "RAGtime with Postgres" and noting the hesitation to use the term "hallucination" for #AI. Suggesting the proposal @annamillsoer.bsky.social and I make to use #AImirage instead: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I really enjoyed the #fossy keynote this am where they talked about defining governance as like a prenup where you need to specify what happens if things go wrong. This analogy aligns really well with how I talked about governance in a recent blog post: fastwonderblog.com/2025/07/29/g... #fossy2025

2 CHAOSS circle logo earrings. CHAOSS logo and CHAOTIC stickers
I’m here at #fossy and have a few CHAOSS earrings and stickers. Find me if you’d like some. With my bright purple hair, I’m not hard to find 😂 #fossy2025
I’m speaking about what we've learned while spinning up a network of #AcademicOSPOs for the #ScienceOfCommunity track at #FOSSY on Friday! I can’t wait to meet more people working in this space and hear what they're up to. 😊
