#eo2025 — Public Fediverse posts

In just a few days I will travel to Tarntanya/Adelaide - fulfilling a desire to take the Overland across north-Western Victoria and into South Australia - to present my talk on the #TokenWars at @everythingopen #EO2025 #EverythingOpen.

The future of many open source, volunteer-run conferences is precarious.

Rising costs of hosting, dwindling sponsorship, and reluctance to fund employees to attend, as well as the increasing burn-out of the dedicated folks who pitch in thousands of hours a year to make them happen - on top of the erosion caused by the pandemic - means that this may be the last year in many I get to catch up with the community I've come to call "my people" over the last 15 years.

So, let's make it a blast.

Three stellar #keynotes lead the proceedings - maker, technologist and Skill Seeker, @sjpiper145, critical technologist and FOI expert, @daedalus, alongside passionate advocate for the power of libraries, @Trishh.

On top of that, I'm also anticipating great talks from Andy Gelme, @Unixbigot, @saera, @nnye, @dtbell91, @emmadavidson, @kattekrab @[email protected] Aleisha Amohia and Sara King, just to name a few - people I have admired and respected for a long time.

See you there, perhaps for the last time in a long while?
