Glad to get a reminder that @gwil's Willow presentation from #FOSDEM is up! This was a talk I tried to go to with @hongminhee and @2chanhaeng but we made it there right at the last 2 minutes cause it took too soo to find it in the maze of the campus.
I have trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.
I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.
If you know someone who is presenting at #fosdem26 please send them my way. I will update this thread with the list of confirmed speakers.

There is a Call for Feedback by the European Commission for a 'European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy' For strategic approach to #foss in Europe, and a framework for using open source within the European Commission. You can respond until 3 February. It is useful to respond even if your point has already been submitted by someone else. The number and repetition of arguments is used as a weight. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en cc #fosdem

Anyone needs a European Sleeper night train ticket from Brussels to Berlin for tomorrow Wednesday the 4th of February? I cannot take the train, I can't cancel the ticket but it's transferable.
Did you travel to #FOSDEM by rail this Friday?
No you didn't. Stop lying.

I have seen a number of people at #FOSDEM with their laptops out. A small number of them have little covers on their cameras as a sort way of protecting privacy.
None so far have privacy shields on their laptop screens, and anyone sitting beside or behind them had pretty good views of what may have been happening on those screens.
Generic privacy shields are available for about 40€. If your laptop screen has magnets in it (eg MacBooks) then they will attach with those. If not, it’s fairly easy to apply, and they can be taken off at will.
If you travel, or regularly go to conferences or work in public, then please invest in one.
