FOSDEM 2026 Social Web Speakers

mapache@hachyderm.io

I have been trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.

I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.

If you know someone who is presenting at #fosdem26 please send them my way. I will update this thread with the list of confirmed speakers.

Thanks for the list, it’s missing me (Filippo Della Bianca): @filippodb.
Also, @iusondemand (Valentino Spataro) will be replaced by @magostinelli (Michele Agostinelli) due to health reasons.

@mapache please drop my two accounts from the list if it is a speaker list - I will help with the hosting but I'm not a speaker 😊 and this is my primary account if you still want to include me!

@dneary there's that bar up on a side street, kind of Art Nouveau/Parisian? We couldn't find a table and had drinks in a more modern place across the street with Ruth and Brian. Ring a bell? We should meet there.

@RuiSeabra it's the bar we had a Fediverse meetup at so long ago.

UPDATE: it's À La Mort Subite

@evan @mapache @RuiSeabra Unfortunately, FOSDEM is ruined this year because I won't be there. The old bar down an alley (looked like a church inside - Au Bon Vieux Temps) that was my favorite place in the city closed a couple of years ago.
