You asked, we listened. FediForum June 5-7 will have keynotes from amazing people: Christine Lemmer-Webber, co-author of the ActivityPub standard and long-term innovator on the federated social web, Ian Forrester, who helped with bringing Mastodon to the BBC and advocates for a public service internet, and Cory Doctorow, long-term digital rights activist, journalist and sci-fi author. (Read some of his novels to see what happens if we don't get this right!) Join us?

At the next FediForum, June 5-7, we are partnering with Laurens Hof from the Fediverse Report to help you get oriented in a session on the first day... More info and registration:

FediForum: moving the Open Social Web forward
There are some Fediverse events coming up in Germany in May and in October. They have been added to
FediForum
FediForum | Upcoming FediForum and Social Web Community Events
 Do you know of other Open Social Web events, anywhere on the planet? We'd be happy to add them to our list. Just reach out.
2. FediForum April 1-2 is canceled, to be rescheduled at a future date. In this environment, it is hard for me to see how a typical FediForum event could be successful tomorrow or the day after, we all need a time out. So I'm pulling the plug right now. Registration is disabled as of now. Everybody who has a ticket can ask for a full refund. If you don't, we will credit the purchase price for a future FediForum. Use the e-mail on our contact page

FediForum: moving the Open Social Web forward
We've scheduled #FediForum so that people from anywhere between central Europe to the American West Coast can participate. We start at 8am local time at the West Coast, and end at 22:00 central European time. It makes for great, multi-national conversations. And there are usually some brave people that join in the middle of their night, like from Japan, Korea, or New Zealand. One of these days we will schedule something more appropriate for you folks! The Open Social Web is truly international!
Timnit Gebru (@npub1z40l...s3fq) is coming to FediForum and wants to talk about: Accessibility on the fediverse, genocide prevention in multiple languages, using the fediverse for activism. Excellent topics! Join us, April 1-2, online. More info:

The "Proposed Topics" page for the next FediForum is up. When people register for FediForum, we ask them what topics they want to discuss. Not everybody fills out the form, and not everybody lets us publish what they said. But some do! Check it out at
