The new Social Web Foundation is launching today. https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/09/24/launch/

@evan held early community feedback sessions at FediForum e.g. here: https://fediforum.org/2024-03/session/3-a/ and it's good for the #fediverse and the #socialweb that the organization is now live!

What's a good way format to use as a banner for #PeerTube accounts, which also looks reasonable when accessed from #Mastodon?

Our banner looks nice here: https://spectra.video/c/fediforum_demos but left and right are cut off here: https://mastodon.social/@fediforum_demos@spectra.video

The FediForum September 2024 speed demo videos are now also available on YouTube.

Still encourage you to follow and like in the Fediverse instead, where the same videos are on PeerTube -- and have a nice playlist cover.

The demo videos from #FediForum September 2024 are now on-line.

Fourteen demos of cool #Fediverse software, as shown off by the developers themselves! Innovation is alive and kicking in the Fediverse!

Given this is the Fediverse, get them from PeerTube here: https://spectra.video/w/p/q1BXeNF5PWFipFy5f44v9h

(They are on YouTube, too, but we will post the link to there later.)

@darnell FediForum is an unconference, so if you are expecting a lot of people speaking while the rest are listening, we need to disappoint you. The sessions tend to end up very interactive and collaborative and full of mutual learning. But you probably prefer that anyway :-)

12 hours to FediForum, and I think we are ready ...!!

We will keep registration open throughout the three days of FediForum. In previous events, quite a few people only registered and joined after FediForum had already started. You can, too, and there will be great demos and interesting sessions throughout all three days.

Two days to #FediForum!

If you are registered, you’ll get email later today with info on how to access our electronic venue. And how to join us for an (entirely optional) one-hour “meet and greet” tomorrow where you can try out connectivity, get a tour of the venue, and just hang out.

If you aren’t registered yet? There is still time! Go to https://fediforum.org

Three days to #FediForum!

Join us online for three half-days discussing the #Fediverse and the open social web with your peers and many of the people who are building it. What are the most critical issues that need resolving, and how can we resolve them, together?

If you can't make it on Thursday or Friday, join us on Saturday, or vice versa. 8am to 1pm pacific time (ie 17:00 to 22:00 central European time) again makes this an event with global participation.

Join us? https://fediforum.org

Last call for Fediverse software demos for next week's #FediForum

Have cool Fediverse software you'd like to show off to Fediforum attendees? Reach out!

We have a rather interesting demo lineup already, but because this FediForum goes over 3 days, not just 2, we have a bit more room.

More info and recordings of past demos: https://fediforum.org

Richard MacManus @ricmac is coming to #FediForum next week and wants to talk about:

Fediverse development

Join us to discuss this and many other subjects related to the open social web and the Fediverse? https://fediforum.org

@tchambers, who has been very helpful as always, is coming to #FediForum and wants to talk about:

Emerging fediverse software platforms, evolving fediverse standards more quickly, and enabling new funding models for fediverse development

All very important topics. Join us next week to discuss these and more? http://fediforum.org

FediForum is in one week from today!

At this time (about 8:30am pacific), we will be watching demos of cool Fediverse software you may not have used yet, followed shortly by making the agenda for the day together.

Join us to discuss how we move the fediverse forward? https://fediforum.org

@bonfire is coming to FediForum and wants to talk about:

Open science network ( https://openscience.network )

We'll get a demo, too! Interested in #openscience and the #fediverse? Join us next week! https://fediforum.org

@tchambers @legoktm @wikipedia @wikiresearch @wikifunctions @wikidata @wikimediauk That would make a great session!

Sending out confirmation e-mails to the people who will be demo'ing their cool Fediverse apps next week at FediForum. We will have demos in the morning of all three days!

Some updates, and lots of new stuff. It's so exciting to see so much new innovation!!

Who would have thought that if you remove barriers to innovation -- like walled-off social graphs -- innovation flourishes! (Just kidding... obviously!)

Join us online Thursday, Friday or Saturday? Or all 3 days? https://fediforum.org

@dangillmor is coming to #FediForum and wants to talk about:

"How to persuade journalists and public officials to migrate away from centralized platforms."

Many people in the Fediverse care about this. Come to his session? Perhaps we can collectively come up with an action plan -- woulnd't be the first initiative hatched at FediForum!
