Good day all. I sadly have to reschedule Episode with @dansup . I had multiple issues.

I was in the wrong Jitsi room on my own Jitsi server. Then my internet went out. It's back now. But I haven't been able to reach dansup. I know he's a very busy person and has so many things going on and he's shown interest, so I'm hopeful I can catch him in the future.

I will of course have other interviews with other folks coming up. Follow here, the shared calendar or the Mobilizon to track upcoming interviews!

Good day all! We have another #episode of #FiresideFedi tomorrow, Saturday April 5th at 1300 Eastern UTC-4.

Fireside Fedi - Episode 5 - Johannes - FediForum

Welcome Fedi Friends to the episode 5 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Johannes! I met Johannes when I found out about the FediForum. FediForum is the "unconference for the people who move the open social web forward." I want to read Johanne's description on his j12t.org page as I just love it:

"I believe the world is better if people are in control of their own destiny. In technology, that means we need to control our data, freely choose the software we use with our data and fairly negotiate the terms by which we interact with others, including which data is and isn't shared. Not a fan of overlords, in politics and in technology.

Very excited about the opportunities on the resurging open social web / the Fediverse. Also: Facts matter. Empathy, inclusion, opportunity."

Johannes' impressive current list of projects include Dazzle Labs, FediDevs, FediForum, FedTest and UBOS. As well as many other and previous projects.
