#FOSDEM2026 has no NOSTR stage this year, we are still early but it feels like the organisers failed to recognise the potential.
Have we not pitched them enough with the ideas, what needs to be done better to make it happen for the 2027? #asknostr
There is however one NOSTR talk by @Sebastix and many presenters have their NOSTR profiles, just click on hashtags above

FOSDEM & Nostr-PHP updates from week 5 and 6
