I signed up for this and am glad it is happening! September is getting to be a busy month, with Global Gathering, Berlin Fediday, Nextcloud Community Conference, RightsCon Continues and then the Fabriders Session Design Lab. :sweat_smile:

But all very exciting and positive for those working in or curious about federation and digital sovereignty!

@tobias@digitallysovereign.org The last time I went to RightsCon was in 2011! Feels like an eon ago, but looking through all my old emails many of the same themes came up then too.

(so glad I moved off gmail and consolidated all my email accounts going back 25+ years on my self-hosted #mailcow server! thank you @doncow for providing this incredible product!)
