We are working on figuring out the schedule for FediCon 2025.
Here is a draft schedule structure (in the attached image).
This isn't final. But (as I was doing before) FediCon is being organized publicly.
...
What is FediCon?
FediCon is where Fediverse folks are gathering IRL.

I love #Mastodon for so many reasons. But when it comes to race politics, whew boy. It's clear many still view yourselves as the default. It's like a stench. And POCs can smell it a mile away. That's why there aren't many here.
Mastodon is uniquely uniformed on race but is the most confident of the contrary. It's a dangerous mix. Race is our achilles heel. A small group of bad actors could tear this place apart in a weekend
This #federation will never survive unless we fix this

The Fediverse is opening, but there is a cost
With the #Fediverse gaining increasing #mainstreaming attention, we’re entering a familiar cycle, an influx of well-funded #NGO-branded projects trying to "fix" the #openweb by reshaping it in their own narrowing and to often blinded paths. Take this year’s #chatteringclass event, #FediForum. Alongside breathless praise, last year, for #Threads joining the #opensocialweb space, we’re seeing the launch of shiny new tools: #BonfireSocial, #Channelorg, #Bounce. That promise innovation […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-fediverse-is-opening-but-there-is-a-cost/

This is interesting.
This may say something about certain people's interests in general.
And thus that there may be an audience for these in general.
What if the Fediverse met... in real life?
Talks. Demos. Panels. Real humans.

What definitions are people using for "Open Social Web"?
@fediforum is about ""Moving the Open Social Web Forward" and @laurenshof is doing a session on the Open Social Web. And @ben you've had multiple posts about it. So maybe I've just missed it, but at least so far I haven't been able to find any definitions.
They may share a suffix (and a protocol), but Blacksky isn’t hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app or team. Founder and CEO @rudyfraser.com is creating a new, fiercely independent playbook for communities — one made possible because of the flexibility of the open web. We're excited for you to hear the latest episode of @mike's Dot Social podcast:

As always from Sean, lots of good thinking in this article about what a “dream” Open Social Web service could be.
