😲…I just realized #FediCon is in the *same* venue as #FOSSY just *3* days before FOSSY starts!

I'm sad we weren't all in touch as maybe together we coulda gotten a better venue deal, but I hope #Fediverse folks going to event will be able stay in Vancouver for FOSSY!

Also, I suspect #SFC would welcome a Fediverse track at FOSSY…

…maybe as a B-sides event for overflow talks?

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org oh, FediCon has a venue already?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@julian @bkuhn Yeah, this is the first I've heard of it!

[julian@activitypub.space]

@evan@cosocial.ca @bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org ah, that's just the site from last year.

IIRC last I heard @reiver@mastodon.social was looking at venues at Simon Fraser University.

😳…sorry I missed that the year listed on that site was clearly 2025 & it wasn't obviously “archived”.
May I make lemonade out of my inability-to-tell-5-from-6 lemons & suggest that *maaaaybe*, depending in attendee count, perhaps #FediCon can be accommodated en-masse as a Community Track at #FOSSY? I hope you'll all just use the application form to suggest & then discussion can spark from there:

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org that's a good idea. It would maybe draw additional people who wouldn't normally travel to an AP only conference...

And it'd make planning much easier!
