#BoilingTheOcean 9 is next weekend (Feb 13-15)! This time our main topic is identity in peer-to-peer systems. How can we prevent impersonation? What about large groups? What are defenses against physical attacks?

On Friday night we'll have a talk and discussion on these questions at @offline. Over the weekend we're at Cultivation Space to work through some of these questions (and hack on our other usual topics like mobile, GNOME UX, and more!)

Hello FOSDEM! The Modal team is in Brussels in full force this week.

Many of us are attending the GNOME OS hackfest, and @adz and @tbernard have a talk in the Local First room on Sunday: fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event

Let us know if you want to meet up :)

We just tried out our collaborative text-editor Reflection on a smartphone using @postmarketOS and are a bit blown away by how cool that was. All it took was to install it via the Flathub store.

The Reflection team is currently planning priorities for the next months, and we're interested in what developers would need to get started using the p2panda stack to add collaboration to their apps. For this, it'd be helpful to know how important GObject bindings are to you:

We're trying to gauge interest in developer events around local-first. If you're curious about adding local-first collaboration to your apps, which event format would you you prefer?

Calling all GTK app developers!

As part of the Reflection project we want to lay the groundwork for an ecosystem of native GTK apps with local-first sync/collaboration features. To do this in the most effective way possible we're asking for your input!
