⏳ Just one day until 
@fosdem !
The XWiki team is heading to Brussels from all across Europe. We’re excited to meet the open-source community, share ideas, and explore how XWiki supports flexible, open collaboration.
See you this weekend!

People who like growing things tend to be the least "zero sum" people I've ever met. I meet activists who act like sharing their time will inevitably lead to their death, but gardeners are always sharing.
We give each other seed, baby plants, cuttings, vegetables, greens, eggs - sometimes even before we know each other. If I say to someone "I wish I could grow tomatoes better" they'll jump in and offer last generation's regionally adapted seed without hesitation.
Because perhaps there's something to the experience of planting a bean and watching it turn into hundreds of beans, all from one bean. Or a single squash seed and seeing it produce dozens of squash and thousands of seeds. Or watching an enormous tree grow from a tiny seed and then a little sprout, and bring owls back where there weren't any before. And realizing that sharing only spreads the abundance, and never takes it away. If my tomatoes grow better, and hers fail, she knows I'll probably offer her that even better performing seed right back, and some extra tomatoes.
One of our friends on the border said he realized capitalism is bullshit the first time he grew tepary beans and watched a single bean turn into pounds of food and plenty of seed to save for next time. Why would anyone control your access to food when it's just that simple?
And the homesteading folks seem to like to make it seem really difficult, but they'll plant 10 acres to grain instead of oak trees and lament having to rent a harvester combine instead of having food literally fall out of the trees (and have a forest of other food and habitat for game, to boot), which is a failure of planning rather than the reality of what growing food is actually like.

If you're interested in learning how you can more deeply participate in or support our mission of building community sovereignty and stewarding abused land, you can find options for in-person or financial participation on our website:
https://rancholibertad.com/participate
We just opened our Supporter tier, and look forward to offering more opportunities to support locally and from afar in August. Those who subscribe at the Supporter tier receive a twice yearly gift basket of goodies from the Ranch (the first will be sent in December) as well as access to participate in quarterly Q&A posts.
You will also know (perhaps most importantly) that you are tangibly supporting projects that enable us to better serve residents (now and in the future), guests seeking sanctuary, and the land. Projects such as tree planting, renewable energy infrastructure, sustainable building, animal stewardship, sustainable and place-sensible food production, and more.
We are so grateful to you for your interest and collaboration ✨

Hello fediverse 👋
I’m trying to find Python meetups or Python folks in Iceland 🇮🇸
Is there a local Python community, a meetup, or just developers hacking on Python between glaciers and volcanoes? 🐍❄️🌋
If you know people, groups, or past events, I’d love a pointer. Thanks!
Headline: .NET과 픽셀 아트의 만남, Bad Apple!! 챌린지 🍎
"이 기기에서 Doom이 돌아가나요?"만큼이나 개발자들의 도전 정신을 자극하는 질문이 있죠. 바로 "Bad Apple!! 영상을 재생할 수 있는가?"입니다.
우리 .NET 커뮤니티의 든든한 운영진인 송영재 님과 이상준 님이 협력하여 아주 흥미로운 오픈소스 프로젝트를 공개했습니다!
🎨 MewUI: 닷넷에서 즐기는 픽셀 UI의 매력
먼저, 송영재님이 개발한 MewUI(@Aprillz)는 매우 가볍고 직관적인 픽셀 기반 UI 프레임워크입니다. 무거운 UI 라이브러리 대신, 픽셀 단위의 정밀한 제어와 독특한 감성을 원하는 개발자들에게 최고의 선택지죠.
🎬 Bad Apple!! 챌린지 정복
이 강력한 프레임워크를 증명하기 위해 이상준 님이 'MewUiBadApple' 프로젝트를 선보였습니다. 단순히 영상을 틀어주는 것이 아닙니다:
🤝 함께 성장하는 커뮤니티
운영진들이 직접 오픈소스 생태계에 기여하고, 기술적 한계를 즐겁게 깨나가는 모습이야말로 우리 커뮤니티가 지향하는 가치입니다. 이들의 열정적인 행보를 응원해 주세요!

Are there any "case studies" of whole communities moving to the fediverse, similar to the Forkiverse?
I'm thinking about writing a version of my article https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/fediverse-an-overview-for-government-agencies/ and aim it at community organizers.
"Covid Conscious Communities Survey"
"Hi, my name is Jamie and I am doing my master's thesis on Covid conscious communities. I am a social anthropology student at Stockholm University. I myself am Covid conscious and chronically ill/disabled, and with my thesis I hope to highlight the importance of Covid conscious communities and the many things that can be learned from them."
"Feel free to scroll through and just answer the questions that you have the energy to answer."

Via Jillian Ray (Music).
"Tomorrow, tens of thousands of workers in #Minneapolis are expected to take to the streets in a mass #GeneralStrike. The “Day of Truth and Freedom” has been endorsed by all the major #labor organizations in #Minnesota. Every major #school & cultural institution, as well as hundreds of restaurants & small businesses, are expected to close.
... Minneapolis shows other cities how to fight back when #ICE comes to occupy their cities."

"More than 50 #Minnesota labor unions, nonprofits, and other #community organizations have signed onto a January 23 Day of Action, which calls for a complete “economic blackout” in the state. “No work. No school. No shopping,” its posters declare.
... This would be the first #GeneralStrike in Minnesota since 1934, when the Teamsters set off a months-long work stoppage in the state."

FOSDEM 2026 (Brussels): Sun Feb 1, 09:35 CET, UB5.230 (my last talk)
Accessible Sovereignty: Why the Four Freedoms Depend on Inclusion (Community devroom)
Thesis: the Four Freedoms are not real if people with disabilities cannot use the tools, study them, share them, and improve them in practice. Accessibility is the operational layer that makes software freedom exercisable.
Event: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/ANGFQX-our_freedoms_depend_on_accessibility
"But, as Michèle Martin documents in her paper “The Rulers of the Wires”, middle-class women’s “‘delinquent’ telephone activities” took the Telegram Men by surprise. This delinquency included not just social telephone calls in the afternoon, but planned and impromptu meet-ups on party lines where isolated women could dial in and get an update from their community.
This was damned at the time by the Telegram Men as futile and frivolous, but that didn’t stop it from happening."

@gfscGeeks for Social Change will be hosting regular monthly drop-in peer support sessions for developers, artists, community organisers, writers, and researchers, focusing on developing and supporting people to use open source and community technology.
"We'll take it in turns to say what we are working on and see if we can give support or encouragement. These are designed to be used as accountability and check in sessions, as well as good places to get tech support and troubleshooting help."
A new forum has been created called "Userverge", a general-purpose forum is a community hub for creators, enthusiasts, and gamers.
The forum will expand as users join.

I’ve been in dark places recently. I didn’t know if I was gonna make it through the holidays. Lots of depression, anxiety, and drinking.
Man, did I need a lift. And I got it.

@dariusDarius Kazemi who I met for the first time at lunch. We have tons in common and I’m grateful she introduced us.
What a gift. This was a good day. ❤️

So, with the privacy suite now slowly growing on the self hosted infrastructure, any ides what to spin up that can be used by the wider community? Basically, talking an open public usage.
Right now it’s an IRC server, SearXNG and Privatebin.
What would you like to use that’s fully private and not corporate owned?
All ideas welcome! ☺️
Happy New Year from the FreeBSD Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, collaborated, and supported FreeBSD throughout 2025. Your work and generosity helped strengthen the Project and expand its reach across the community.
We look forward to another year of development, engagement, and continued progress in 2026.
Looking back on 9 yrs of intense commons janitoring, on unthankful chores of #community work to keep them healthy and safe, and all my weaving-in-public, outreach for #connecting #people. It gave me deeper insight.

Pizzas, tiramisu, stickers, and plenty of coffee. But above all, people.
My 2025 has been a journey from Canada to Croatia, reconnecting with old friends and launching new projects. In a difficult year for the world, I chose to focus on the light emitted by positive figures, who are often the quiet ones.
I’ve written a farewell post for this incredible year on my personal blog. See you in 2026, with the same Smile(TM).

transphobia, unfair moderation, platform issues
Reddit is officially on my hit list, and honestly, I’m just tired. I was banned for literally saying “I’m trans.” That’s it. No arguments, no insults, no rule breaking just existing as myself. What is actually going on with the internet right now?
On top of that, I also got banned from my favorite anime subreddit for sharing my thoughts about One Punch Man Season 3 specifically the episode with the Monster Garou encounter and saying it looked AI-generated. I wasn’t attacking anyone, I wasn’t being hostile, I was just trying to have a discussion.
Right now, Reddit feels really bad to be on. Moderation feels inconsistent and overly harsh, and it honestly feels like you can get punished just for speaking openly or having an opinion. I’m not even trying to fully drag Reddit anymore because I’m exhausted from constantly calling out platforms but this crossed a line.
I’m just frustrated. Being trans shouldn’t be controversial, and having a discussion about media shouldn’t get you kicked out of a community you enjoy. At this point, it feels like being honest online is treated like a problem, and I’m really over it.

What is the Mountain Mindset? For me its the idea of recognizing as we charge into this future online, we can still develop our own culture. As I have traveled, my observations between city culture & mountain culture was fairly consistent around the world. Mountain culture required living more in tune with nature, more aware of the seasons & surroundings. Community more shaped around connection and sharing. Looking in practice like how the Hawaiian’s live Pono, a lifestyle inspired by values to do the right thing; living in harmony with the land & people. In this present moment of globalization, we can collect ideas that will be needed for the future. Culture will outlive us. We can individually, in our own unique way, create this concept of culture here on Mastodon. Thank you for being here!

If you are curious, I collected all the material from my talk at DjangoCon US 2025 in a blog post.
It includes the abstract, slides, the recorded video, and a short overview of the topics I covered.
I also wrote a second post that puts together my whole DjangoCon US 2025 experience.
It is a timeline of the live posts I shared here during the conference, with photos and short notes from talks, hallway conversations, and community moments.
DjangoCon US 2025 · Chicago
Looking back at DjangoCon US, these photos bring back many great moments.
I was there as a speaker and as a member of the Django Software Foundation board. I gave my talk and spent some time on stage sharing updates about the work of the DSF, from governance to long-term sustainability.
In the end, conferences like this are about people, trust, and things built together over time.

DjangoCon US is also, and maybe mostly, about people.
Meeting in person folks you usually talk to online, having long conversations between talks, sharing meals, and spending time together without any agenda.
This human side is what keeps Open Source healthy and sustainable over time. It is one of the reasons why these moments matter so much to me.

LucKey Productions (LKP) is a free and open source game development cult aiming to create enchanting games using only FOSS tools. The source code and assets of all projects are made available through GitLab, along with pre-built binaries. Binaries are also available through itch.io. LKP accepts donations but strongly prefers contributions in the form of time. People can invest time by creating - or searching for - graphics and audio, making levels, writing code, web development, playtesting, packaging, promoting LKP and its projects or by learning the skills required to do the aforementioned in a way that meets the LKP quality standards.
Titles released so far include the twin-stick-shooter heXon, 3D platform games Tux! and Blip 'n Blup, a vehicular soccer game called Open Saucer and A-Mazing Urho. All can be played, but none can be called finished. Several of these projects rely on Edddy for the creation of levels; an in-house block-based level editor.
Most communication happens aboard the Colourship, an astral craft comprised of a chat and forum aspect with specialized subsections (decks) to focus on coding, graphics and audio creation as well as a common room for general and off-topic discussions.
Come aboard and join us in making awesome games for everyone! https://matrix.to/#/#luckeyproductions:matrix.org
