Offline with no CRDTs?!

At #FOSDEM earlier this month our colleague Alex Feyerke got to introduce local-first pioneers @couchdb.bsky.social and @pouchdb.bsky.social in the @localfirst.bsky.social devroom, a space dedicated to all things sync, P2P and conflict resolution.

While rumours of a possible owner change of #suse make rounds, check out the #EU_OS #fosdem talk slides at eu-os.eu/assets/slide...

#FediForum2026 is coming up in April, 28th - 30th. If you don't know what #FediForum is, it's an online #unconference where we all get together, talk about what projects folks are working on, meet each other, etc. I've been to two of them last year and I've met so many fantastic folks there […]

Well... what where the #FOSDEM "sponsors" just a few weeks ago ?

Should FOSDEM also deprive itself of corporate sponsors to abide to purism ?

Actually, there were two presentations at #FOSDEM. In the first, I focused on the strategic aspects and context of the Potato Resilience Act (#CRA).

At #FOSDEM I promised people that if you attend the talk by @nicorikken and myself you will feel better afterwards. From the feedback we received I think we accomplished this.
