#meetup

Tonight it's #NetMCR (https://www netmcr.uk/) in #Manchester at the Northern Monk pub (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/northern-monk-refectory-manchester) from 7pm!

"For our September meetup, we’ve a short talk and space for more if you’re keen to offer something on the night:

• Lightning talk: Tim Wilkes, ‘An intro to the NICC’s Open Forum’*

• Just a quick overview of the NICC’s Open Forum and why it might be of interest to attend, later this year."

Go and chat with some nice people, have some weird 🍻, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!

This Thursday (8th October) it's #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) in #Manchester from 7pm! At the moment there's no scheduled talk, so if you feel like giving one yourself, feel free to propose it 😀 Even if there's no talk, it will be nice to meet some like-minded individuals, try some interesting 🍺, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟! #Networking #MeetUp

Have you ever met someone from the Fediverse in person to do something together? I don't mean at a Fediverse-related event. If you have, I'd be curious to hear what kind of activity brought you together. I've seen people from other social media platforms organize offline activities and meetups, Facebook and Instagram (Meta), Orkut (Google), and Twitter (now X), and I'm curious whether this happens through the Fediverse too. Please, boost to find more activities, if any. #SocialMedia #Meetup #Fediverse

Did you know (few people do) that there is a Federated, decentralized, ethical alternative to #FacebookEvents and #Meetup for event-planning and group-management? Any alternative to Facebook is great, right?

It's called #Mobilizon. It's developed by the French non-profit organization Framasoft, which is the same group behind #Peertube.

Why Mobilizon stands out:

1. It's Federated and Decentralized: It's made up of a network of independent websites that communicate with each other via ActivityPub, just like Mastodon, Pixelfed, PieFed, Peertube, etc.

2. There are no Ads or trackers.

3. Each instance is volunteer run.

It federates will ActivityPub applications, like Mastodon!

1. You can follow Groups from mastodon via the group handle, like, @devon_football@my-group.events
2. Events show in your Mastodon timeline
3. If you reply to or comment in Mastodon, for example, about a Mobilizon event, your comment synchronizes back to the event page (and vice versa), bridging the conversation across both platforms.
4. You don't need a separate account on a Mobilizon server just to keep tabs on a community's schedule.

If interested in exploring Mobilizon, in addition to running this Mastodon server, and other decentralized applications, I run the Mobilizon server,

If there were a Fediverse meetup in your city or region, would you go? #EvanPoll #poll #fediverse #meetup #FediverseMeetup

Looking forward to this one: on August 6, I'll be at the @engkiosk@podcasts.social Rhine-Ruhr Meetup in Düsseldorf! 🎤 I'll be talking about "Turbo-Charging Your PHPUnit Suite", because slow tests destroy flow, and it doesn't have to be that way. If you're in the Rhine-Ruhr area, come by and say hi. I always enjoy meeting the community in person. https://phpunit.expert/events/engineering-kiosk-rhine-ruhr-meetup-august-2026.html #PHP #PHPUnit #Meetup

Went to my first #Rust #meetup ever. It was fun, but very dismaying how a lot of participants talk more about #LLM than about language features or code written in it #AIslop #GenAI #NoAI

It is that time again. The July meetup is next Wednesday the 15th at 7pm. I hope everyone had a fun and hospital free July 4th holiday! I would like to leave an article about TV ad snooping that I was recently reminded about. #security #meetup #denver https://www.pcmag.com/explainers/your-tv-is-spying-on-you-change-this-setting-to-stop-it @eff@mastodon.social talked about this back in 2015. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/02/big-brother-listening-users-need-ability-teach-smart-tvs-new-lessons

We ( @eugenpirogoff@chaos.social and I) are planing a new Meetup in Berlin. Somewhere around September. Topics all about Indie Development and all sorts of things around it. Anyone interested or got ideas about a format? Maybe some talks? (Just throwing in things for some ideas). #berlin #meetup #indiedev #buildinpublic

It's #NetMCR's (https://www.netmcr.uk/) 10th birthday this Thursday (11th) in #Manchester from 7pm!

There's 3(!) talks this time:

• Wren Wood, ‘Emergency Broadcast Connectivity’:

  Ever wondered how you can see a correspondent live from the middle of nowhere, or embedded deep in a warzone? Wren will be pulling back the curtain on what goes into making live news. With a wide range of scenarios, and having to prepare for the absolute unknowns, they will discuss how you plan, deploy and execute reporting from all kinds of scenarios. Including connectivity from mobile networks to microwave links and satellite to dark fibre - all of the challenging environments there are.

• Michael Young, ‘The Apprenticeship Gap’:

  We’re really excited to hear from Michael, who’s coming to us to speak about his employer’s apprenticeship scheme. His team’s intention was clear; to bring in new skills, and foster new ways of working that could help move the organisation forward. In practice, it wasn’t entirely straightforward to match new capabilities with how teams were already operating. We’ll hear the story of how Michael’s team identified the issues, talked about them openly, and started changing on both sides in order to meet in the middle.

• James Blessing, ‘Digital Infrastructure in the North’:

  There are things being built in the north that we may well all be interested in. James will tell us all about the recent DINA26 meeting, and what we should be aware locally to that end. Slightly cryptic? You’ll just have to come and see for yourself!

Go and chat with some nice people, have some weird 🍻, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!
