Organizing #fluConf2026 was a little hectic due to some personal constraints, and it's quite clear we'll need more people involved in order to make #fluConf2027 a reality.
If you're interested in helping to make that happen, please get in touch by joining the IRC channel (
#flu-confon Libera Chat). -

A presentation about air quality measurements was a very fitting way to wrap up #fluConf2026!
A very big thank you to all of our contributors and everyone who joined in or boosted discussions during this weekend!
As with last year, we'll double-check the program on our website to ensure that all contributors' content is easy to find. You can also expect some kind of retrospective blog post, but first we're going to take a nap 😴

Hello world!
Today is the second and final day #fluConf2026
As mentioned in the previous post, today's program will feature two contributions, and the first is available now.
@c0debabe has already shared a presentation about their project to build a Personal Digital Assistant (the palm-pilot type, not an LLM emulating a secretary).

Closing out day one of #fluConf2026 we have a submission from an alumnus of the inaugural #fluConf (you may remember his "Neo-Luddism in a developing country can be odd").
o is not on the Fediverse, but is active in promoting #FOSS in the Philippines. His contribution this year is the full text of an unfunded proposal named Project Sinsinan, involving what he terms "constructive vandalism" and mutual aid:

Our next contribution is from @deejoe
"Git season: A deeply personal approach to version tracking" is available in multiple formats, but if you choose to watch the version hosted on TILvids then all of our browsers should help the server distribute the video by replicating its content over webtorrent.

Let's get things started!
@onepict did a lot to promote both the inaugural #fluConf and #fluConf2026, so we're going to begin with her contribution:
("Digital Poppets - How the Modern Fae Hold Power Over You") an article about the magic of the modern world and how it can be used against us if we aren't wary.

Got in a last minute proposal for @fluconf and also finally created a new blog article
Check the contribution list to see what was accepted this year:
https://2026.fluconf.online/contributions/
Here's the blog article I proposed for FluConf
Use containerization for improved web privacy and security. Containers isolate processes in the browser, making it more difficult for one web site to spy on your activities with another web site.

That ought to cover most of the relevant details for the event.
There is something of a backlog of messages for us to catch up on and some late submissions to review, so we'll be back shortly to introduce some of the contributions to #fluConf2026.
In the meantime, feel free to take time to make coffee, rehydrate, gather snacks, or otherwise take care of yourself.

While we're discussing terms for participating in #fluConf2026, it's also worthwhile to read our policy on AI use.
In short, if you need to include the output of an LLM or a related type of generative model in order to comment on its harms then we might allow that, but in most cases we'll consider the inclusion of such content as a form of plagiarism.
The point of this event is to make space for people to share with each other, and its rude to expect anyone to read something which you couldn't be bothered to write, so please don't.

All of our posts will include the #fluConf and #fluConf2026 hashtags, so feel free to follow or mute those according to your preferences.
Due to the fact that much of this event will take place on the Fediverse, we are somewhat limited in our ability to moderate others participation besides blocking accounts or instances. That said, we do have a Code of Conduct which will inform whether we choose to boost comments from other accounts:
https://fluconf.online/code-of-conduct/
We also have an IRC channel governed by that same code (
#flu-confon Libera Chat). -

Submissions for #fluConf2026 are open until midnight of January 30th (anywhere-on-Earth).
That means that there's still slightly less than three hours left to have your contribution added to the program even though many of us are already well into the next day (online events can be somewhat weird, in that way).
The form to submit your contribution is here:
https://fluconf.online/apply/fluconf-2026/
Don't worry too much if it closes before you get there. Nobody is going to stop you from posting if you have something to share. Unlike a physical conference we are unconstrained by the number of available rooms, and we have no interest in emulating that sense of scarcity.

Hello world!
Today is day one of #fluConf2026, an online event for those of us involved with Free/Open-Source Software (#FOSS) who continue to take precautions to protect our health and that of our communities.
Throughout the weekend we'll share links to content submitted as part of this year's program, and boost discussion/commentary related to those contributions.

Aurel Wünsch (he/him) and Sam Herniman (@[email protected]. he/they) will give a live talk about IndoorCO2map, an open source community science project to monitor indoor CO2 levels in non-residential buildings and transit systems around the world:
https://samherniman.github.io/Fluconf2026-indoorco2map/abstract.html
They are still determining what platform to use to stream their session, so if any of our community members can volunteer to share access to their BigBlueButton instance, please respond below.

If you have something you would have shared at #FOSDEM if not for the crowds and the risk of contracting the FOSDEM-flu, consider making it a part of #fluConf instead.
We'll continue accepting submissions until the end of Friday, January 30th:

There is now less than one week left until #FOSDEM, which means less than a week until #fluConf: an online alternative for those that still care about the health of their communities.
