It looks like the latest version of #PeerTube fixes some federation issues: following & commenting from Mastodon is working (again?) and that's pretty cool. See for example https://conf.tube/videos/watch/ec9d2504-62fc-4871-a4c3-035d5776c61e

#Announcement: check out #ConfTube, a #PeerTube instance dedicated to conference and community events videos.

In the most recent episode of our podcast, @cwebber and @emacsen take a walk down memory lane about 8 bit computers, DOS and Unix command lines and the way that the imagery and mystique of the terminal may be holding us back.

We've got a blog post that explains our views & reaction to #GItHub's new #Sponsors program & related initiatives. We're concerned that it (so far) ignores key governance issues for #FOSS projects related to funding. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/may/23/github-sponsors/ #Sustainability #FOSSSustainability

Is there any bot on the #Fediverse similar to the Link Archiver on Twitter (https://twitter.com/LinkArchiver)?

A little ForgeFed update 😀

@zplus is working on MCFI, which is a federation server component for use by forges, written in Python

I'm working on federation for Vervis (in Haskell). The C2S part of ticket comment federation works, and I'm fixing the S2S bugs.

We need to create roadmaps for adding federation to forges, especially #Gitea (Go) and #GitLab CE (Ruby), in collab with their teams. If you'd like to help or you know someone who can, talk to us :)
