FediForum: moving the Open Social Web forward
Do you wish people would talk more about some aspect of social media or the open social web that somehow doesn't get as much attention as it should? That's one reason why FediForum is an unconference. You can come, announce the topic, and run a session on it! No need to convince a conference organizer that your topic has merit. Join us Thursday to Saturday this week, online. Registration is still open:

If you are registered for FediForum Thu-Sat this week, you can also (optionally) join us for a "Meet & Greet", the day before at 10:00 pacific, to check your equipment, get a tour of the online venue, or say Hi! Here's the schedule:

 Invite e-mails coming soon.
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?

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
