🕸glané sur le net🕸 Un hackathon pour "détruire le système" (alias la démocratie): Maria Damcheva et Jean-Marc Adolphe poursuivent une redoutable enquête sur la face cachée du trumpisme. Pour combattre ce qui vient, mieux vaut savoir...

Recap of CloudFest hackathon

When you hear ‘CloudFest’, many people associate it with a business-to-business event, which it is, but the hackathon in the run-up to it still has a certain degree of community character. On the initiative of Andreas Heigl (@heiglandreas@andreas.heigl.org) and the support of Matthias Pfefferle (@pfefferle), this year’s hackathon provided the resources and space for an exchange of ideas around ‘federated events’.

Our group was one of the largest and very diverse. We used the first day primarily to exchange ideas about our goals and the status quo. Afterwards, we reviewed and improved existing features and developed prototypes and concepts for new ones.

For me as a developer of the WordPress plugin Event Bridge For ActivityPub, the best thing about these days was to finally get to know the entire WordPress/Automattic team involved with ActivityPub in person (greetings to @mattwiebe and @obenland).

I would like to emphasise a few achievements in particular, without neglecting the achievements of all:

  • Matthias Heigl took the time to take an intensive look at the FEP-8a8e. His many years of experience with the development of calendar features and iCal provided important suggestions for making the specification even more far-sighted.
  • Laura (working-directory.com/) helped to reduce the barriers new developers face when experimenting with the interaction of Gancio/Mobilizon and WordPress and others.
  • Finally, many thanks to Cloudfest for the great organisation and hosting!

I don’t know if people are happy if other people have access to their IRS information;

“Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has plans to stage a “hackathon” next week in Washington, DC. The goal is to create a single “mega API”—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED. The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project. Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and Musk associate Peter Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.”

I'm off for a week of full-time volunteering with Three Rings at 3Camp, our annual volunteer hack week: bringing together our distributed team for some intensive in-person time, working to make life better for charities around the world.

And if there's one good thing to come out of me being suddenly and unexpectedly laid-off two days ago, it's that I've got a shiny new laptop to do my voluntary work on (Automattic have said that I can keep it).
