Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse

Hooray! It is now official: We have been granted funding by NLnet to support the realisation the vision we outlined in our last post.

Events are at the heart of social life and deserve to be treated accordingly in the Fediverse. […]

In addition, we will also investigate the Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider Specifications (FASPs) for discoverability and filtering of public events.

The Work Continues: What’s Next

Details will follow soon — but the work on events in the #Fediverse is far from complete. Key upcoming milestones include:

• Improvements and new features for the Event Bridge for [b]ActivityPub[/b] plugin for WordPress
  Continued development to maintain, fix issues, enhance, and expand functionality.
• Work on Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEPs)
  Ensuring a robust final status of FEP-8a8e and focus on recurring and irregularly scheduled events.
• Support for event interoperability in other Fediverse applications
  Contribute to other Fediverse applications and help them to explore and improve support for Event objects. For example, @linos@graz.social has outlined a potential roadmap for Mastodon.
• Contribution to GatherPress
  Active involvement in the GatherPress project — a modern and truly FLOSS community oriented WordPress event plugin — to ensure full ActivityPub compatibility, including RSVP support and advanced federation features.
• Community engagement and outreach
  Participation in conferences, public talks, and direct conversations to foster knowledge exchange, gather feedback, and grow the ecosystem around federated events.

Additional updates and technical details will be shared soon. Input, testing, and collaboration from interested parties are always welcome. Or if you know any conferences we should attend, let us know.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

#TheFutureIsFederated

Publicacion scheduled for monday 2025-02-03 18:00
Dear studi0 community

We decided to add an #element #matrix #privateSpace #chatRoom to our setup and called it: tupambaeORGstudi0
Please be patient in any case as this is complete #Neuland for the admin in charge.

At least he managed to onboard a filmmaker, photographer and writer as the first step to understand how invites work!

So, hi there!
.. self-hosting based in Paris, France newbie @ elena@aseachange.com, director of The Illusionists documentary and #FOSDEM2025 traveler for your new proyect:
💌 #TheFutureIsFederated
The one who host's here 📷 photos apparently at @ ele@photos.elenarossini.com.

To begin with we created 3 rooms:

• studi0 community
• APP tutorials

  
  and as the first officialy approved project
  @jesuiSatire …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ managed to trigger:

• Projekt wahlKarnavalKrampf #foFritzMertz

In the @EDIT | don't follow! profile we creatd already a postString for that Projekt with a very limited time horizon.

Next step will probably be creating a activityPub #podcast handle on cast.tupambae.com by @utopiArte, the admin over there, as content colection and conversation about the idea itself in the EDITing post is already up and running.
Part of the details concerning the cast domain is to figure out how to organize the tools #castopod gives us at hand as it looks like it has quite interesting options to organize cooperation, as stated briefly in a tutorial page created on that site, result of the #learningBYdoing process while installing it: brief Castopod tutorial

Last but not least, we are still trying to drag @lizzischmidt the creator and promotor of the #sundayGimp community experience that is alive and running for over a decade on #diaspora* on to our shores, but federation with diaspora, from a technical point of view, definitely has seen better times in the past. Maybe this very cross community chat option, added right here and now, can help to improve the communication for all of us.

This inicial publication will federate quite well out into the vast space of the #fediVerse, but to see comments from the diaspora bubble and the #activityPub sphear, youll have to visit this original page on this friendica server.
Unless of course you are friendican yourself.

So, with no more further introduction, let's jam the #fediFolks!

Linux communities beware of #PewDiePie fans

Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.

Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.

Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.

A few things to be wary of:

• People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
• People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
• Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

Immer wieder nett. Wählt euch ein 😀

Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!

Hauptthema: #Lemmy mit @Ranslite .
Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein.
Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.

Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.

Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.

Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: dus.webinar-welt.de/rooms/il6-…

Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋‍♀️

Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.

Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

Am 22. & 23. März 2025 finden die Chemnitzer Linux-Tage in der Reichenhainer Straße 90, 09126 Chemnitz statt! 🎉

Die Chemnitzer Linux-Tage @Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (CLT) sind eine der größten und bekanntesten Open-Source- und Linux-Veranstaltungen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie finden jährlich in Chemnitz statt, normalerweise im Frühjahr, und richten sich an Einsteiger, Fortgeschrittene und Profis aus der Open-Source-Community.

Die CLT bieten Vorträge, Workshops, Stände von Projekten und Unternehmen sowie ein Rahmenprogramm mit Install-Party, LPI-Zertifizierungen und Aktivitäten für Kinder (CLT-Junior). Die Veranstaltung ist bekannt für ihre freundliche Atmosphäre und den intensiven Austausch zwischen Entwicklern, Anwendern und Interessierten.

Über das Fediverse wird auch gesprochen. Zum Beispiel:
💡 Fediverse & Podcasting – Spannende Vorträge am Samstag (Raum 5):
🕜 13:30 Uhr – Stephanie Henkel @Ückück :ueckueck:​😛d:​:af: : "Castopod – Podcasting im Fediverse"
🕔 15:00 Uhr – Tobias Diekershoff @Tobias : "Fediverse: Abseits von Text im Stream"

Eigentlich hatte ich geplant, selbst dabei zu sein, aber leider kann ich aus familiären Gründen doch nicht teilnehmen. 😞 Umso mehr hoffe ich, dass viele von euch die Gelegenheit nutzen, sich mit der Open-Source-Community zu vernetzen und spannende Vorträge mitzunehmen! 💻🚀
