Robert Kingett- Accessibility in the Fediverse

Welcome Fedi Friends to the episode 9 of Fireside Fedi! I’m your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you’re seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse. With me today is Robert Kingett! Robert is a writer of fiction and nonfiction as well as a technical writer and accessibility specialist. Robert has been helping with disability access improvements in the Fediverse. His biggest contributions have been to the open source and federated book review application Bookwyrm. Robert is blind and has a stutter. He has very deep thoughts on old people, taxes, and animals. And finds Santa Claus to be very rude that he never responds to children’s letters. So Robert I’m not disabled and haven’t really worked around anyone that’s been disabled, so if you have any suggestions for me going forward, please do not hesitate to help me learn. https://sightlessscribbles.com @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social https://spectra.video/c/robertkingett https://sightlessscribbles.com/support/ https://spectra.video/w/5UL2NPGP5a1uH8DiosreK9

Johannes - FediForum

Welcome Fedi Friends to the episode 5 of Fireside Fedi! I’m your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you’re seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse. With me today is Johannes! I met Johannes when I found out about the FediForum. FediForum is the “unconference for the people who move the open social web forward.” I want to read Johanne’s description on his j12t.org page as I just love it: “I believe the world is better if people are in control of their own destiny. In technology, that means we need to control our data, freely choose the software we use with our data and fairly negotiate the terms by which we interact with others, including which data is and isn’t shared. Not a fan of overlords, in politics and in technology. Very excited about the opportunities on the resurging open social web / the Fediverse. Also: Facts matter. Empathy, inclusion, opportunity.“ Johannes’ impressive current list of projects include Dazzle Labs, FediDevs, FediForum, FedTest and UBOS. As well as many other and previous projects. https://j12t.org/ https://fediforum.org/ https://dazzlelabs.net/ https://fedidevs.org/ https://feditest.org/ https://ubos.net/ BLOG: https://reb00ted.org/ Mastodon: @j12t@j12t.social Mother of All Demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY

ActivityPods are meant to bring Sir Tim Burnerss Lee’s, father of the modern internet, Solid Pod technology and combine it with ActivityPub the protocol that powers the Fediverse. That has to be some of the most technical things I’ve ever talked about.
