So, the Fediverse is going to be chock full of updates from Brussels for FOSDEM and EU Open Source Week this week.

I know that can lead to some FOMO if you wish you could be there too. There will be live streaming and lots of updates on the related hashtags.

We have a lot of other events throughout the year, around the world. Fediforum does a great job tracking Fediverse-related events:

I know there will be mean-spirited attacks from the usual suspects, trying to make Fediverse developers and enjoyers feel bad for getting together and talking about the things we love.

Every movement has its gatekeepers who don't want to do anything, but also want to keep the rest of us from doing anything, either. 馃し馃徑

But I hope for people who actually care about the Fediverse, you know that you're wanted in this movement, and we can find ways to connect.
