    emus, so good to have you back!! Hope you had a great time on your vaccations in South America!!

  6. gnemmi

    You guys .. shouldn't we already be tooting something in re FOSDEM?

  7. gnemmi

    And, specially, in re Summit 27?

  8. gnemmi

    Will somebody be making sure that we'll get pictures of the booth, swag, goodies, etc .. so we'll have some graphic material to include on the February Newsletter?

  9. gnemmi

    We could already be tooting some pics of the goodies that will be available for free at the booth .. and where the booth will be located and such .. (I'm always talking about Mastodon, and maybe Pixelfed that seems to be in an all time high right now)

  10. arne

    Some bad news (at least for me), unfortunately I won't be able to come to Brussels this year for different reasons. I'm a bit sad because it was pretty nice the last time but I will try to follow it remotely and wish you a great summit and good dinner!

    > We could already be tooting some pics of the goodies that will be available for free at the booth .. and where the booth will be located and such .. (I'm always talking about Mastodon, and maybe Pixelfed that seems to be in an all time high right now) Do we have a pixelfed account?

  12. gnemmi

    arne, yes sir, I do πŸ˜€

  13. arne

    I thought about an official XSF account on a pixelfed instance?

  14. arne

    I thought about an official XSF account on a pixelfed instance

  15. gnemmi

    Oh .. no .. I have my own personal account on @pixelfed.sdf.org

  16. gnemmi

    I think this would be the official account: @xmpp@fosstodon.org but I can't confirm that

  17. gnemmi

    It's not even listed in the Newsletter

  18. arne

    Maybe we should add it then. I think emus is handling the mastodon account?

  19. gnemmi

    Most likely, yes ..

  20. gnemmi

    Anyways .. here's a list of toots from foundations and other assorted project that will be on FOSDEM and have already properly tooted about it

  24. emus

    Yes, I will try to post something later

  25. gnemmi

    πŸ€—β€οΈπŸ€—

  26. emus

    Yes, we can create an account there, but let me follow up with all the backlog

  27. singpolyma

    emus: you asked me the other day about how to enable the ATprotocol bridge. I just looked it up the address to follow is @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy it will follow back which you may have to approve depending on how the account is set up. Should just work after that

  28. emus

    singpolyma: I saw this. Can we postpone this discussion? I have some other stuff to take care of first

  29. emus

    We have almost 4000 follower on Mastodon

  30. gnemmi

    In spite of all the heated debate about XMPP/Matrix/Signal and what not .. and the fact that Mastodon is a lot more about interaction than making announcements ..

  31. gnemmi

    That's a good sign πŸ‘

  32. lorenzo

    > We have almost 4000 follower on Mastodon ❀️

  33. emus

    Yeah, but I dont interact a lot I think

  34. gnemmi

    And we still have almost 4k followers 😎

  35. gnemmi

    That was why I was saying that it is a good sign πŸ‘

  36. gnemmi

    emus: in re backlog, I did my best to put out the Newsletter in time, with the most up to date information and links to everything that I found.

  37. gnemmi

    I want to publicly acknowledge that *everyone* in this MUC has been nothing but *super nice* to me.

  38. gnemmi

    Everyone has always been available to give a helping hand an pitched in with the Newsletter

  39. singpolyma

    > We have almost 4000 follower on Mastodon ❀️

  40. gnemmi

    edhelas, singpolyma, Kris: goffi: everyone has been super kind and extremely helpful and I'm super grateful for the way they've always treated me.

  41. gnemmi

    And, of course .. the most especial *thank you* goes out to cal0pteryx .. greatest of the greatest. It would have been impossible without his hard work and patience to me πŸ€—

  42. cal0pteryx

    gnemmi, you're welcome! Your work on the newsletter is helping a lot

  47. gnemmi

    Thank you!! I'm super happy to hear that!. I always do it in the hope that, with a little luck, this may aliviante emus and your burden so you guys can spend more time focusing in some other areas that may need more technical skills than the ones I can help with!

    gnemmi: the backlog statement was not about or anyone :-) it was just about me

  49. emus

  52. gnemmi

    > gnemmi: the backlog statement was not about or anyone :-) it was just about me Understandable!. Still. Now that you are back, I had to let you know and acknowledge everyone in public to get that off my chest!. This is probably one of the greatest team of people that I've had the privilege to work with in any open source, community driven project. And no. I'm not exaggerating. At all .. ❀️

  53. emus

    gnemmi: I'm very happy to hear this and that you feel welcome. This is how it should be! And I try to make it better very time :-)
