If you attended the 2026 Social Web Developers Room or watched online, how would you rate it?

@reiver Or it might be in Taiwan? Not sure though!

Shot in the dark, but does anyone have any recommendations for good #Korean #LanguageLearning resources?

@bart Oh, I'm also at K level 1!

#Fedidev people at #FOSDEM 2026, where are you today?

@rio @Yohei_Zuho 昨日Social Web dev roomで発表がありました。

@evan @reiver Ah, it was Cuckoo.

@reiver @evan It was an in-person event. They gave us a link that provided real-time translations of what the speaker was saying, so we each pulled it up on our phones to read the translated subtitles.

@pfefferle Here's the `ap` cli for the ActivityPub API. It's one of the example apps from my book.

There are only a few hours left to submit a proposal to the NLNet Open Social Fund. It's an easy proposal process!

@bookstardust Haha, yeah, but we also pronounce words roughly sometimes!

By the way, it should be called FediKaigi if it's held in Japan, shouldn't it?

@esurio1673 本当によかったですね。来年はぜひ…‼️

@liaizon We are late, probably can't attend! 🥲

It wasn't just me…!? 😂

Welcome to Febarray

#February #Comic #falseknees

@andypiper oh I wish I was able to come and talk about the history of VKontakte and how that led to me starting Smithereen. Russia is one of the few countries where Meta genuinely failed to take over the majority of social media usage, and VK took a lot longer to become terminally enshittified.

That and I'd also talk about how I'm extending ActivityPub too much. And that I have some ideas about decentralized global search.

Maybe next year...

@reiver @evan Yeah, that's actually the issue I'm very considering… and I think we probably should speak multiple languages and offer some real-time AI translators (which unexpectedly worked well at @fossforall last year)?

And, there are also many other issues which are very East Asian!

@hongminhee@hollo.social What should be the official language?
Not all developers are proficient in English. How will we support those who struggle with presentations or question sessions in languages other than their native tongue?

Since many developers—particularly Japanese speakers—prefer not to use their real names or appear in public, should we allow remote participation, voice-only contributions, or presentations using avatars like VRChat or VTubers?
There's also a risk of faceless participants appearing in photos or videos during developer interactions, potentially leading to privacy issues.

@yas Yeah, these are all very East Asian problems and indeed real issues! At @fossforall last year in Korea, we'd spoken Korean or English and some real-time AI translators (which unexpectedly worked well) were offered too.

Presentations using virtual avatars sound really interesting. Definitely should be allowed for much broader speakers (especially who're common in Misskey)!

@reiver Yeah, indeed I'm slowly getting at speaking English now!

I had thought about this, but I am not sure how to handle paid RSVP. Monetization matters. We can consider attaching external link, but, I think it is not complete solution

These are ideal and fit into my mental model.

https://event-us.kr/ (korean), https://connpass.com/ (japanese)

But I don't know how to complete implement paid RSVP for fediverse. That's bottleneck

We have to go back #activitypub #c2s

@evan I'm not sure; I've never organized such big event, so I need some help!

Thanks all for listening to my talk about #Fedify at #FOSDEM 2026 today! Here's my deck for the talk: Fedify: Building ActivityPub servers without the pain.

@janro Thank you so much for listening my talk!

So one of my dreams is to organize an ActivityPub/fediverse conference for East Asia, as I told about it multiple times before…

@julian @reiver Yeah, if FediCon will be held this year too, I definitely will attend there!

It's definitely worth taking a 20-hour flight! 🥰

So… the first day of #FOSDEM 2026 was so inspiring, and it really motivated to build more things for #ActivityPub and the #fediverse! Also it was a lot of fun to meet hundreds of kind and smart people!
