We're doing another special event later this year in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony! Thanks to @razze and the local hackspace crew for organizing 💚

We'll probably have a focus on Flathub, Bazaar, GNOME OS, and related stuff, but any other of the usual topics including mobile, local-first, UX, etc. are of course welcome.

November 28-29
AStA of University Osnabrück, Alte Münze 12

“This is getting out of hand; now there are TWO of them!”

Trying out Era. It feels very nice and GNOME-y with some improvements over the core Calendar app. I have some concerns about dividing development effort, but I also get that sometimes it’s easier to start your own project from scratch without any of the legacy, conventions, or promises of a large, long-developed codebase.

If you’re on Linux, give it a try and report some bugs! :)
