Cover image for FOSDEM and me: OSM, Translation, decentralization and art

Well, FOSDEM is over and I am sad. This year, for the first time, I had four talks in four different rooms.

Geospatial room

🎥 Lessons from teaching 100+ beginners to use the OpenStreetMap
Main message: When you map your world, you change it.

Decentralization room

🎥 We d‑build it, but they didn’t come
Main message: No users, No decentralization.

Translations room

🎥 What translating Thunderbird taught me
Main message: Free software only becomes truly free when people can use it in their own language.

Videos and slides are available for each talk.
