It's a wrap for FediForum Day 2, and the entire October 2025 FediForum. We had a blast, and attendees have told us the same.

Next: meet in-person in South Tyrol in Northern Italy in about a month at sfscon.it.

And to be notified of the next online FediForum:

We will publish the meeting notes and the recordings of the keynote and demos as soon as we can. Follow this account and our PeerTube account to learn when: @fediforum@spectra.video

Now moving to unconference sessions. Yesterday we had 16 of them, all brought and run by FediForum attendees, covering a wide variety of technical and non-technical subjects on the open social web.

By the time you see this, it will be too late to put your own session on the agenda, but you can still join today, and there is always next time!

... and FediForum Day 2 is starting just about now.

First: software demos! Including some very cool ones that you likely have not seen before -- because they haven't been shown anywhere else before!

You can still join us: https://fediforum.org

FediForum Day 2 is going to start in about one hour!

We'll start with some very cool, fast, software demos, showing off open social web software you may not have seen, and then have three time slots for parallel unconference sessions. Bring your topics!

FediForum Day 1 News -- attendees already know, but here is it for the general public (middle of the page): https://fediforum.org/2025-10/

Some of this news is going to be demo'd at #FediForum, today, Day 2. You can still join us and see the demos and participate in discussions!

@narF done!

FediForum got a mention today in a piece on Mastodon Starter Packs in The Verge. Mastodon starter packs are coming, and were discussed at #FediForum today.

It's a wrap for FediForum Day 1. We had an amazing keynote, which we will publish to PeerTube and YouTube as soon as we can, and ~15 unconference sessions from the very technical to public policy, from the needs of communities to those of media and academia and more.

See you tomorrow for day 2!

The first set of unconference sessions at #FediForum is about to start.

You can still join us, today and/or tomorrow, and help us and the community figure out the future of social media and the open social web.

@dphiffer Hope this is resolved now.

@endorama The keynote today and the demos tomorrow are recorded and we will publish on PeerTube and YouTube. The unconference sessions aren't recorded, but we publish notes.

FediForum, the online event that brings together the people who move the Open Social Web forward, starts in one hour!

We expect a number of rather interesting announcements. If you are registered, you get a heads-up just about now by e-mail.

You can still join us, online! https://fediforum.org

Is #FediForum only for geeks?

Not at all! Users have come. Moderators. Artists. Public policy people. Media people. Creators. And many more, because the Open Social Web matters to all of them, and to all of us, around the world.

So join us online in just a bit! https://fediforum.org

Jim DeLaHunt (@jdlh) is coming to FediForum and says:

I want to talk about globally inclusive fediverse handles (i.e. non-ascii, e.g. @ตัวอย่าง@ตัวอย่าง.ไทย) . who is using them? what obstacles block using them? how do we clear those obstacles?

Any discussion of internationalisation, multilingual text, unicode, and fonts will attract my interest. i know a lot about these topics and can answer questions.

Join us! https://fediforum.org

Michael Karbacher (@sozialwelten) is coming to #FediForum and says:

We are in a very early process of developing a fediverse app called “testapp” for open bookcases to create a new form of (book-) library based on commons and self organization. App development, subsidies, sociology.

You can still join us, starting in a few hours! https://fediforum.org

Julian Fietkau (@julian) says:

I’ve been part of some constructive discussions around the nuances of groups, lists, and follow recommendations (“starter packs”) lately. Maybe there will be other people [at FediForum] interested in exchanging ideas and plans.

Besides that, i’m always willing to talk about my evergreen topic: what can the fediverse do for academics, and what can academics do for the fediverse.

James Smith (@floppy) is coming to FediForum and will demo Manyfold’s #fediscovery #fasp integration.

Demos are on Wednesday. FediForum starts tomorrow with a keynote. There is still time to register! Go to https://fediforum.org

@narF is coming to FediForum and wants to discuss:

How to organize workshops to encourage regular folks to try the fediverse and leave big tech platforms. how to organize “install parties” for folks to create an account and fill their timeline.

Starting tomorrow!

Daniel Gultsch (@daniel) is coming to FediForum and wants to talk about standardization, feps, client-to-server api. How can we improve participation (of major stakeholders) in the fep process? i’m not an activitypub dev but have standardization experience.
