@diffrentcolours @onepict @neil Sometimes I wonder if we’re growing out of talk-based conferences. My MozFest 2018 experience was special because it involved so many different activities (and opportunities to hang out with people). CryptoRave has a similarly packed schedule and I was so exhausted by the end of it; I barely watched anything I wanted and running my security workshop consumed so much of my energy. #fluConf accepting so many different formats reminds me of that old MozFest spirit.

Lots of us on here believe in the Human Right of Free Speech. But what about the Human Right of Freedom to assemble in Safety.

I believe in Codes of Conduct and Robust Health Policies because I think that you cannot meaningfully have that Freedom of Speech with out Freedom of Assembly.

It's why mask mandates at conferences are important and making accessibility affordances available.

It's also why I'm thankful for @fluconf and everyone who contributes to it.

@fluconf The last FOSDEM I attended was 6 years ago. Just as we'd started to hear more about this thing called #Covid

I can honestly say that #FOSS attitudes to accessibility, politics and Public Health are a major factor in the existence of the cobbles blog.

I wrote this in 2023 about my experience of #LongCovid which I still have. I've just had to learn to work around it.

Meanwhile the rest of the world seems to move on.

It's why I am so thankful for #FluConf.

> We need to turn to ancestral memory, to the time of sympathetic magic. When folks knew something was wrong, but it was hard to understand what was going on […] the Fae in this realm are our modern corporations. They grew their power by gathering all your virtual footprints. They created more digital pieces of you. They took the virtual dust of where you wandered online. They created your digital poppet and sold duplicates of your virtual dust with others. They traded what they gathered about you to each other. At first to influence you, they wanted to sell you their wares in their markets — but the Fae in this realm also gave you poisonous fruit to eat. The more you ate of the fruit, the more you gave them.

What's FluConf?

FluConf is intended as an online alternative to FOSDEM for those who remain conscious of the continued spread of COVID-19 and various other airborne pathogens that are frequently contracted by attendees.

The talk I gave at #FluConf, "A tale of two compilers", is now on archive.org:

https://archive.org/details/wim-vanderbauwhede-a-tale-of-two-compilers

It's about #Fortran, #Perl, #Uxntal and Fractran with the odd mention of Haskell as well. And of course my own Funktal language.

@autkin

Even better, I just saw that he will be speaking at #FluConf
