@johnonolan@mastodon.xyz it sure did alright! Can't argue with success on the fediverse.

@douginamug@mastodon.xyz thank you for the kind words! I wasn't sure how technical I should get, but the crowd was enthusiastic and followed along amazingly well considering the late hour. I enjoy talking about the developer experience on the open social web, and I'd love to continue to do so.

There's nothing of value between where @dansup@mastodon.social lives and I live I jest, but while I am throwing out ideas I have a lead on a space in Toronto that could easily hold 200 standing room. Depends how big you want to think. @reiver@mastodon.social did we already discuss that you were from Canada? In all that went on it might've just slipped my mind. @liaizon@social.wake.st @andypiper@macaw.social @evan@cosocial.ca

@j12t@j12t.social hey, there you are asking questions!

@evan@cosocial.ca might I suggest this picture be saved for posterity (I selfishly ask, because I'm in it)? The pic of the other federated social web meetup from way back, that @liaizon@social.wake.st said seemed like the spiritual precursor to this year's FOSDEM, was so cool! Wild to see, I wondered if someone could do a "where are they now" thing

@reiver@mastodon.social that would be me! I was poking fun a bit at @dave@upp2.com because Fediscovery is an ambitious solution to one of the fediverse's "hard problems". Why not feature creep some more while I'm there? hah! The full gist of the question was... "the broad use-case of fediscovery would be to try to achieve some sort of global search, where anything can be found, but could there be a use-case where someone could use the Fediscovery FASP to build a domain-specific search provider, e.g. science-based, meme-based, etc.?" I'll be speaking more about those "hard problems" tonight at the Social Web After-Hours event at HSBXL. Will you be there? I'd love to say hello!

@nhl.pl je ne pas parlez francais

@esk@hachyderm.io awesome! Looking forward to all of these presentations... Where do I sign up for a time turner
