2. FediForum April 1-2 is canceled, to be rescheduled at a future date.
In this environment, it is hard for me to see how a typical FediForum event could be successful tomorrow or the day after, we all need a time out. So I'm pulling the plug right now.
Registration is disabled as of now. Everybody who has a ticket can ask for a full refund. If you don't, we will credit the purchase price for a future FediForum. Use the e-mail on our contact page https://fediforum.org/contact/
@rysiek There's going to be a Birds of Feather session on Saturday about organising sponsor-free conferences, which deserves to get some attention as it's obviously very relevant:
At NixCon 2024, we took the bold step of going completely sponsor-free—and it turned out to be a great success, with 400 attendees, making it the largest NixCon to date.
In this BOF session, I’ll share my experiences as a core organizer, including the challenges, lessons learned, and tips for anyone looking to organize their own sponsor-free events without breaking the bank.

@onepict I think this is a very relevant and interesting session:
