As expected my #40C3 submission about "convivial software" was rejected.
"Open Source Software has succeeded. And that success created its biggest failure. Where can we go next? What’s a better future?"

@tante @w@discordian.social i like this vision. it would allow people to recognize that software rather is a social artifact, more than a technological artifact. this is often true now already, but this rational achiever culture around software seems to hide that truth. which causes damage and makes certain futures for communities and their work less likely.
@tante welcome to the club. Our submission was also rejected.
Title "Genossenschaftliche Rechenzentren - warum wir sie brauchen und wie wir sie bekommen"
But as you mentioned - they had a lot submissions.
@tante i wanna attend this talk... or maybe better workshop
@tante Try a FOSDEM main track talk?

We need to bring this topic to the forefront. Of course FOSDEM is a very “open-sourcey” venue, with everything it entails, but it’s also diverse enough that you would find an interested audience—and hopefully interested reviewers.
