@russss If only there was a conference for conference organizers; we could call it #confconf! ;)

But in all seriousness, more conferences are starting to steal our #FOSDEM devroom concept and it's working really well for them; e.g. #IndiaFOSS did so quite successfully last year. Never been at #emf #emfcamp so I don't know the programme and space availability, of course.

IndiaFOSS, the annual homecoming of the Indian FOSS and digital commons communities, is calling for your proposals!

Host your very own Devroom at #IndiaFOSS 2026!

Think a room of requirement, appears for those who really need it (and have filled out the CfP)!!

Call for Devrooms:

@rahulporuri @fossunited

Gonna be niche, but I'd like to see more FOSS services self hosted and make it use by broader community together.

(just like discourse and jitsi we've)

But more I think about it I just feel it becomes another hard thing to cling on in practice.

- Big picture is, make other Orgs or community to self host services on their own.

After more thoughts I just feel like we don't have that many audience to implement or make use of it :(

Last year, we brought together #CCC, #COSCUP, #eventinfra, #FOSDEM, #FOSS4All Korea, #FOSSASIA, #FOSSNorth, #IndiaFOSS and I am certainly forgetting several.

If in doubt, poke me if you'd fit.

And please help us: like a conference? Make their organizers aware of this.

And, as always, #retoot appreciated!

@Gustodon the 6th edition of #IndiaFOSS is happening in Bangalore, Sep 2026.

for those who missed the Inaugural #MangaloreFOSS 2026 last week, among other things (like 2 days of incredible talks, the beautiful sea breeze and the banger ghee roasts),

fyi :) #IndiaFOSS 2026

@Pandya there is only one Free Software UPI app, which is still in development by https://github.com/librefin-in They did a demo of making UPI payment at #IndiaFOSS early this year, but the app is not ready to use yet.

Would you volunteer to organize a national #FreeSoftware conference in India?

Many of us in #FSCI who attended #IndiaFOSS or looked at the accepted vs rejected talks felt the focus is more on Open Source / products rather than philosophy or communities. So we want to organize something that is explicitly focused on Free Software and communities.

I still appreciate @fossunited for organizing it as I think booths are still a great opportunity for projects like @prav

Weekly Notes 39/2025

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://thejeshgn.com/2025/09/26/weekly-notes-39-2025/

@daemon_nova @liliputing_ they did mention something about it being possible to connect a 5G-capable antenna. Not sure if it's only theoretical or someone's actually done it (the demo device I saw at #IndiaFOSS didn't have it)

Generally, #IndiaFOSS impressed me. It was the right mix of chaos and organization; the crowd was very engaged.

I gave a talk about #FOSDEM and I had uncounted conversations about FOSDEM, OSS, and how to apply its principles afterwards.

I do start feeling like an old these days. I mentioned to someone that I was first in #India in 2006 and someone commented were like "yeah, he wasn't alive then". Brutal.

But good crowd.

Landing in #bangalore / # begaluru a few days ago for #IndiaFOSS, I saw a toilet attendant who had "NO TIPS PLEASE" stitched onto his uniform in huge letters.

I'd love to understand the reasoning process behind this. I'd have given him a tip out of principle if I had any cash on me at that time.

Me and the gang at #IndiaFOSS 2025! (Post wrap-up pic)

Even though it's been atleast 3 years since I started going out(I'm practically a normie by compulsion now), I never, ever thought I'd have this much fun outside the comfort of my home!

@fossunited thank you guys so much for organizing this!

We had a great time at #IndiaFOSS 2025 this weekend. Thanks @fossunited
