PLUG tonight: The Fediverse @ Your Library

[der.hans]

moin moin,

tonight Alex Byrne will present "The Fediverse @ Your Library: A Proposal
for Collaboration" in BigBlueButton for us.

https://lufthans.bigbluemeeting.com/b/plu-yuk-7xx

We start at 19:00.

Description

Fediverse enthusiasts and public libraries have a shared interest
in preserving privacy, control, and a smaller, more intimate, and
non-commercial community for their users, but they're not collaborating
as much as they could on those shared values to provide easy ways for
potential Fediverse users to get started, either as a user or as an
instance host.

Librarians often lack the technical resources to implement and maintain
Fediverse instances on their own, but could work with enthusiasts to help
themselves and their users create and manage their own instances of /
accounts on the Fediverse.

This presentation will take a high-level look at how a collaboration
might work between a public library and Fediverse enthusiasts, including
benefits and possible pain points for both sides along the way.

Bio

I get paid to be silly in front of other people and put them at ease using
technology. I think that's extremely well suited to my skill set.

ciao,
