Back from @fosdem 2020 ! A huge event again ! The free and open source software community is incredibly active building our future ! We were happy to co-organize the collaboration devroom and also to present XWiki and CryptPad ! Thanks to all organizers
Thank you @fosdem & everyone who made it an awesome, inspiring, future-thinking event! So many great projects that help protect privacy, give back data control, break through proprietary walls & make tech that actually benefits people. We're greatful to support all your work! 😍😍😍😍
Regaining control of your smartphone with postmarketOS and Maemo Leste now #FOSDEM important open source phone OS projects that @NGIZero is proud to support! Check out more anout Maemo Leste -> https://nlnet.nl/project/MaemoLeste/
#NextGenerationInternet
@Karlitschek explains at #FOSDEM why GPL is actually great for business (like it is for @nextcloud ), and why open source should not become closed/proprietary just to fight back against cloud competitors like Amazon, Google & Microsoft. #NextGenerationInternet
TG at #FOSDEM explaining why a two-pier peer-to-peer (among proxy servers) provides a scalable, autonomous and resilient infrastructure over federated servers/p2p-networks. With p2pcollab, ultimately users will be able to discover/disseminate content collaboratively & privately, while all the tech they use is completely transparent and composable. Important features for a #NextGenerationInternet !
SCION proposes a clean-slate #internet architecture at FOSDEM with route-control, failure isolation and private/secure path-awareness. Decentralized routing, you control where your data goes! Which is why @NGIZero funds this important project. #NextGenerationInternet
Brett Sheffield from Librecast kicking off the #FOSDEM Sunday with a plea: do you prefer unicast, or the more efficient, scalable and private multicast?
Wow, it's already #FOSDEM2020 day two! We've got a stand in the K building on Level 2. Stop by, say hi, get some stickers!
this laptop (MNT Reform) and this phone (Purism Librem 5) have the same SoC (CPU/GPU/...), i.MX8M. and both run free and open source drivers and software. #FOSDEM2020

Hey #FOSDEM, applications for our 8th @prototypefund@twitter.com funding round opened today and I’m here to answer your questions about our #FOSS fund! (And I have awesome stickers and pencils \o/) Ping me if you want to meet - my DMs are open! #FOSDEM2020
So I just ran into someone wearing a Rocketchat sweater and immediately fired all sorts of questions at him, about push notifications and what not.
The guy patiently answered all my questions, being super friendly, even gave me a free tshirt. I walk away happy and look at his business card.. turns out he's the founder and CEO of #Rocketchat 😅
Lol this is why I love #Fosdem. Thanks again, Gabriel!
IT-experts are sure: "There is NO #CLOUD, just other people's computers"
Spread the word with our shirts in black, red, green and blue and get one for yourself at our #FOSDEM booth in the second level of building K:

💫 Good news!
"Spot", the /e/'s default meta-search engine at https://spot.ecloud.global has been upgraded to latest Searx release, and is now using @torproject to mitigate possible blacklisting and for better privacy.
+New features next week...
Ready to join you all at #FOSDEM this weekend! Curious about our open calls for open source/hardware projects to improve online privacy & decentralized search? Meet us Sunday afternoon! -> https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/ngi_zero/ and https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/bof_ngi_meetup/. Looking forward to meeting you!
And now my books (book, for now) is live!
Recurring offer reminder: I'll help / mentor / teach / tutor / troubleshoot with anyone who wants to learn git for basic version control, collaboration, managing personal projects, or for a day job. I'll work to connect people with mentors other than me if they prefer - no need to explain why.
Same for bash, command line tools, and so on.
I want using & contributing to FS/OSS to be easier for way more people.
Boosts appreciated!!
Just putting it out there: if anyone ever wants help - debugging, problem-solving, tutoring, whatever - with the Linux CLI (bash/ksh93, GNU coreutils..., vi, emacs, sed, awk) and/or git, I'll help.
I won't make you feel bad for anything you don't already know. I promise. (Nobody ever should.)
I'll reiterate every once in a while. Boosts appreciated!
NGI Zero is an open R&D call for privacy and trust enhancing technology & open search and discovery | coordinated by the NLnet Foundation in collab with @fsfe, @APC, Radically Open Security, Translate House, ETH Zurich and more | delivers technology for the #NextGenerationInternet
