@hugo Floobits pretend to do something like this, but I never tried it... https://github.com/Floobits/floobits-emacs

Dezentrale Strukturen sind ein entscheidender Faktor um die Sicherheit zu erhöhen. Dank Konzepten wie #CloudFederation kann das völlig transparent für die Anwender geschehen. https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Kommentar-zum-Bundeshack-Schluss-mit-Schlangenoel-und-Monokultur-3985144.html #Nextcloud #Bundeshack https://mastodon.social/media/8KZSvRQfnDCX2i3E_A0

Laura Meschede hat für die FAZ recherchiert wie Überwachung funktioniert. Und sagt: "Jetzt bin ich paranoid. Hochgradig.". Sehr lesenswert: http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/dass-wir-ueberwacht-werden-ist-klar-aber-von-wem-und-wie-eine-spurensuche-15445555.html

Great talk by #TecKids about kids in Free Software and the legal challenges https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/too_young_to_rock_n_roll/ #FreeSoftware #education #fosdem

@mhall119
How do you want to make sure that mastodon.rocks knows all instances and all users out there? Everybody can set up a instance at any time and/or register a user on any instance.

@mhall119
You could also have a drop down with the most common used instances. But that's the downside of decentralization, there is no central server for everyone. If you find a better solution I'm happy to hear about it but I fear there is none. :(

@mhall119 Nothing ready to use. But you can call https://mastodon.cloud/share?text=message_you_want_to_add. To make it generic you need to have two input fields to add the Mastodon instance and the message someone want to send. I use it for share buttons on my blog, you can see it here if you scroll down: https://www.schiessle.org/articles/2017/11/14/software-freedom-in-the-cloud/ Code is here: https://gitlab.com/BeS/hugo-sustain-ng/blob/master/static/share.php

Are you living in #Spain near to #Madrid? Are you interested in Free Software? Then don't miss the first meeting of the #FSFE local group Madrid! https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/2018/0222-encuentro-local-madrid #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS

@cwebber
I'm afraid this would only lead to https://xkcd.com/927/ ...We already have enough competing terms and Free Software is perfect as you can easily translate it in all language like "Logical Libre", " Libre Software", "Freie Software", etc. and it always conveys the core message.
@technomancy

@rysiek Don't worry, there are good reasons to be excited! 😃

I just updated my #Nextcloud successfully to Nextcloud 13 and you should too 😃 https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-13-brings-secure-file-sync-and-collaboration-to-the-next-level/

@boneidol
Btw, you also have to keep in mind that the first version of the Cathedral and the Bazaar says "Free Software", which was replaced by "Open Source" later. As said, the book is mainly about a development methodology which you can apply to Free Software (no matter how you call it) and proprietary software as well.

@DPoeltl
It was recorded and should be released the next few days together with the other fosdem recordings

@aral
I like to explain it this way https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/basics/comparison
