We experienced some setbacks while processing recordings of the live sessions from #fluConf2025, but we've finally updated our program to include links to the videos:

I rarely use this account to promote things that are not directly related to the Interpeer Project, but this #FluConf article by @librecast's @dentangle is so much aligned with our own Values, I should have written it.

It's also why our projects are in close contact, and we're working on ways to collaborate as much as possible.

It is now 21:00 UTC, which means we have officially reached the end of our scheduled program.
Thanks so much to everyone who helped, contributed, or participated in #fluConf2025 !
We're going to take a bit of time to rest, but beyond that we'll gather up recordings from our sessions and any supplemental materials (slides, linked resources, and so on). We want to ensure that those who weren't able to participate in the live event can catch up when they get the chance.
We're coming up on the final session of #fluConf2025, an essay by @anna titled "Daring to dream: Reclaiming our connections and building our resilience"

...and that's a wrap on our last video session. A recording will be made available some time after the event, and we'll have some supplementary links to add to the session's notes for those who want to follow up on @simplymath's research.
Coming up next we have a presentation from @simplymath on his PhD work on safety-critical machine learning, titled "Safety Critical Machine Learning Does Not Exist"

Starting in about seven minutes, see you there!

This next session will *not* be recorded, though there are older recordings with similar subject matter available and the content will be made available as a blog post.
You'll need to attend to catch this particular session, which will start in about five minutes:
AgaricScaling Community Conversations and Decisions presentation @ FluConfHow can a group of thousands of people talk about and decide anything? How's this 'community' concept supposed to work at scale, even in theory? Any Free/Libre Open Source Software project will have elements of do-ocracy (rule of those who do the work), but not all decisions should devolve to implementors. A better ideal is that decisions should be made by the people who are most affected. Particularly when a decision strongly impacts more than those who carry it out, we need better ways of making decisions that give everyone their say. This starts by letting people by heard by everyone else. Fortunately, we can scale conversations and decisions in a fair and truly democratic way.
Hopefully you had a chance to grab snacks and refill your water in this brief break.
Up next we have a presentation from @mlncn titled "Scaling Community Conversations and Decisions", this time hosted on his coop's BigBlueButton instance.
Details about the session are available here:

Ooh I am so knackered. But it's definitely worth it to see folks enjoying #fluconf2025 .
It's great to have an online event and we can experiment and present our ideas in safety.
We're not so isolated now.
Already @dentangle, @anna and @wim_v12e have published their contributions.
I'm looking forward to experiencing the rest of the programme.

#fluConf2025 just started :
.
It took me a moment to settle into a distributed online conference that isn't "just" following a live stream but rater reading along a blog post or watching a video (or whatever the authors preference is) and following the discussions that spin around that in the #fediverse but I think I already like that approach. Thanks for making that possible @fluconf

Our program is available online and is made up of a mix of pre-recorded videos, live sessions, and articles.
Some of these are already available to be enjoyed, and you're of course under no obligation to view them in order or at all.
Nevertheless, we'll be following a schedule to highlight them one at a time, to introduce their topics, and to give some dedicated time for those who contributed them to answer questions and engage in discussion.

The aim of #fluConf is to provide an on alternative for the many people who are already disabled by #covid, or are immune-compromised, or living with those who are vulnerable, or just hold the reasonable position of not wanting to be infected with a potentially deadly or debilitating illness.
So, if you're reading this, welcome to #fluConf2025 !
