Are you finding it hard to keep track with all the things that are happening on the Open Social Web, or you would like to get involved, but don't quite know where to start?

At the next FediForum, June 5-7, we are partnering with Laurens Hof from the Fediverse Report to help you get oriented in a session on the first day...

More info and registration: https://fediforum.org

Previous attendees:

If you were registered for the canceled April 2025 FediForum, and have not asked for a refund, you are automatically registered for the June event. You do not need to re-register.

Hi @nextgraph, we get that question occasionally, so we have an FAQ entry for it here in case you haven't seen it: https://fediforum.org/faq/

@andypiper @ben @thisismissem @evan @haubles @cubicgarden @melaniebartos @skarnio @tommi @j12t

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

Mark your calendars: the next FediForum will take place Thu-Sat, June 5-7, 2025, online.

While we aren't quite ready yet to provide details, we thought you should know about the dates as soon as possible. We are planning to update the format and organizing team based on your feedback, but the unconference and demos that you all love will remain at the core of the event.

The townhall notes have been augmented with what was discussed in the second townhall. https://fediforum.org/2025-04/

There are some Fediverse events coming up in Germany in May and in October. They have been added to https://fediforum.org/events

Do you know of other Open Social Web events, anywhere on the planet? We'd be happy to add them to our list. Just reach out.

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/

@scott the demo track for next week’s FediForum is full, and we even have a waiting list. There is so much cool software but only so much time on the schedule! Maybe next time?

You like the #Fediverse and would like to contribute, but don't quite know where and how to get involved?

Consider coming to #FediForum, where people from lots of interesting projects come together every six month to talk about current challenges and the way forward. A great way to meet people, projects and get involved!

You don't need to be a developer, many challenges have nothing to do with code!

The next FediForum is coming up April 1-2, online. Check it out! https://fediforum.org

The "Proposed Topics" page for the next FediForum is up.

When people register for FediForum, we ask them what topics they want to discuss. Not everybody fills out the form, and not everybody lets us publish what they said. But some do!

Check it out at http://fediforum.org/2025-04/

Anything sound interesting? Then please join them and us April 1 and 2.

Any glaring omissions? Then propose the missing topics when you register yourself! You don't need to be an expert. https://fediforum.org
