Great start into the week with #FOSSBack today! Looking forward to these two days in my old neighborhood :3
Ich wäre heute wirklich, wirklich gerne auf der #fossbackstage - muss aber dringend selber #FOSS Konzepte schreiben.
Hier aber zumindest eine #Mastowall

und welchen Leuten […]
I’m already enjoying #fossbackstage in Berlin so far! I have a bunch of CHAOSS stickers and a few pairs of CHAOSS earrings, so find me if you want some! 😁 I’ll be around all day today and tomorrow. #fossback
What's behind Æva's head?
We just kicked off #FOSSBack with a wonderful keynote by @aeva.online on Open Source, Security and the Cyber Resilience Act.
Now the program is on! Find the conference schedule here: 26.foss-backstage.de/schedule/
Selfie with glasses, orange ffp2 mask, light grey tshirt, pink lanyard
Find me at #FOSSBack o/
Talk to me about:
- whatever fun thing that occupies you right now
- the sovereign tech agency and contributing to free and open source software
- offline capable apps
My talk is today at 12:10 :)
In his talk in digital sovereignty, @mirkoboehm puts into clear words some vague thoughts I've having about why the freedoms granted by FOSS licenses are not enough to give people control over their computing. #FossBack

Photo from the intro at FOSS Backstage thanking the sponsors, including aws, Google, eon, pwc
While I appreciate the sponsorships, I think it's worthwhile to also appreciate the irony that the company is focused on addressing the problems some of these very large sponsors have helped create in the first place

Up very early to watch the #FossBack live stream. If only it had been at the end of the week, I might have been able to attend in person before going to KubeCon. I'd love to make it to Berlin someday so that I can be in the room.

"Let's resist the rise of nationalism" is the perfect message to kick off #FOSSBack, or any other day really
