Just stumbled over some #SFSCON pictures. It was so great how the NOI read "Ada & #Zangemann" and afterwards did a #Scratch workshop for the kids.

If you don't feel comfortable reading the book, on https://ada.fsfe.org/movie you can also download the movie of the story (currently in #English and #German soon in other languages as well).

We need to talk about #openwashing! This is one of the findings from our @fsfe community survey earlier this year.

I presented some results from the survey at this year's #SFSCON in Bolzano in November. The recording is now online:

You can still send us your thoughts on openwashing:

Thanks for your input! We are always interested in learning about new openwashing cases.

The official part of #SFScon is now over for our team at the @fsfe and allies . So proud of being part of this great team with @llas @pjitendra Ana, Henrik, myself, @johas , Francesca, Reinhard, Bradley, Dario, @tommi Henning, Alex, Marta, Florian, @lnceballos Thomas, @Tobias and Erika.

At #SFScon @tommi is currently hosting the "knitting our internet" workshop. An interactive journey through the #Internets history and a collective rethinking of its future. #fediverse #mastodon

About the format of the workshop have a look at https://ournet.rocks/sfscon/ . Use it, share it, modify it! Thank Tommi

This photo summarizes the incredible magic and resourcefulness of the #Fediverse.

I would have never met @filippodb and @melaniebartos if it wasn’t for it!

So many people from different backgrounds coming together at #SFSCON and finding points in common to do great things together!

Our quick chat with @kirschner opened up super interesting perspectives and conversations.

Despite everything, the future looks bright if there is empathy, enthusiasm, and understanding.

ALWAYS ROCK’n’ROLL!

This is the #networking I like when

Now in a meeting next to this at #SFSCon. First thought it is a bomb when passing but I guess it is a submarine, right?

Even if you do not understand Italian, it is worth having a look to get an impression from the reading
