At the last FediForum in March, an attendee started using FediForum as a unit of time: "by the next FediForum, this will have happened" and it became a bit of a running meme for the rest of the unconference.
What are you all making happen before the next FediForum September 12-14?
Weekend #Fediverse people!
FediForum, the online unconference for the Fediverse, has its 3rd day on a Saturday this time. Join your peers to discuss the future of the fediverse and how we get there? Have unmet needs and wishes? Of even better: have solutions? Demos of interesting fedi software? Or just want to meet people who think like yourself?
Consider joining us on September 14. More info and registration: https://fediforum.org
Questions? Just reply here.
Did you know we have a PeerTube channel with the software demos from all #FediForum events?
Need to convince a friend that lots of cool projects thrive in the #Fediverse? Point them to a demo video!
... and the first registration for FediForum September has already come in! That was fast!!
For the next FediForum, we will try something new:
A three-day schedule that includes Saturday.
We've heard from many people that they'd really like to come, but can't during the work week. Others want to keep weekends for family time. Both very understandable.
Also, many people told us they want more time because there is so much to discuss as we build out the Fediverse together.
So Thursday, Friday and Saturday it is on September 12-14! We are very much looking forward to it!!
Mark your calendars!
The next FediForum, the unconference for the people who move the Fediverse forward, is coming up September 12-14, 2024.
The most recent Fediforum in March had the largest attendance ever of developers, users, moderators, and many other people interested in building a better social media environment. We will build on this in September, for the first time in a 3-day event. We'd love to see you join us and your peers.

In the words of an attendee at the last #FediForum :
"The Fediverse ... it's actually happening!"
Today's evidence: the president of the United States has entered the Fediverse.
Follow him at @potus.
Extra thanks to @deadsuperhero who volunteered to host the #FediForum demos on his #peertube instance and set it up.
The videos from the previous events are now on his instance as well. We also have updated the links on fediforum.org
For future FediForum demo videos, follow @fediforum_demos
The demo recordings from last week's #FediForum are now also on #peertube.
Check them out here: https://fediforum.org/2024-03/
If anybody ever asks you: why should anybody care about a decentralized Twitter? Point them to these videos, because there's so much innovation there that goes miles beyond just microblogging, and it's still early days.
Thanks to all the innovators out there, and thanks to the developers who came to FediForum to show off their creations in these demos.
The session notes from the March 2024 #FediForum, and (almost) all demo videos are now on-line.
Lots and lots of good stuff there. Whether you attended FediForum or not, happy reading!
(The PeerTube version of the demos is still stuck in a moderation queue. Will add links once available.)
@fediversereport Thanks for the coverage!!
@wjmaggos What would you want to happen at such a monthly main room?
@FediPact You would be more than welcome. We want FediForum to be a place where a variety of opinions can be (respectully) aired and discussed and mutually understood. Would make a great session.
@petri We just uploaded a higher-resolution video, linked from the comment on YT.
FediForum has made it into a bunch of publications this week. Most focus on the demo at FediForum where Meta's @pcottle showed off Threads' #Fediverse integration publicly for the first time, but there's lots of good stuff talking about FediForum itself, too.
@Xepher_X It was uploaded in a hurry because we knew that the press was going to write about the session. We'll upload higher-res videos of all of the demos, and the FediForum session notes over the coming days.
@deadsuperhero summarizes: "I came out #FediForum with a tremendous sense of optimism."
Did I quote this about right?
Engadget also has a piece about the #threads demo at #fediforum today, this one comes with a link to our website. Nice!

According to reporting by WeDistribute today, #fediforum is “the Fediverse's most popular unconference”
https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/fediforum-live/
Continuing for one more day tomorrow. You can still join us for sessions and demos!
The unconference for the people who move the Fediverse forward.Open to speed demos and presentations, as well as ad hoc working groups, with everyone from early adopters to new users. What kind of social media environment can we build together? Next FediForum: March 2024. Check the website for details and registration!
