Today, the Bonfire team is excited to announce our beta release 🔥🎉

We’re aware that Bonfire still needs a lot of work - like ensuring it federates as expected and improving configurability, accessibility and user experience - but that’s the point: we decided to launch at this stage with the intention of building the 1.0 release as a community.

New blog post on the upcoming #bonfire beta release: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/beta_what_to_expect/

"In a few days' time we'd like to invite you to experiment with a 'playground' instance of Bonfire, the federated social networking toolkit for communities. Lots of what you'll see in the Bonfire beta will be recognisable from other social and/or federated apps. There is some functionality that may be a little different with Bonfire as well."

Check out our new blogpost
and stay tuned for more updates 😃

"We're now days away from the beta release of Bonfire, a federated app toolkit. When beta users get their hands on it, however, they might be confused: wait, this looks like just another microblogging app! haven't we already got enough of those?"

Awesome. Just spoke with @bernini and @mayel about #Zappa, "a custom @bonfire extension to empower communities with a dedicated tool to deal with the coronavirus "infodemic" and online misinformation in general."

I'm being tasked with creating user stories based on interviews and workshops.

If this sounds like something you (or someone you know) might be interested in contributing to, let us know!

Boosts appreciated for reach 🚀

📣 We're happy to share w/ the fediverse our new website:
https://bonfirenetworks.org

We tried hard to communicate the vision and the motivations that nurture bonfire ecosystem. We also included new technical guides to setup and configure a new instance, to play with it or contribute to the development.
Any feedback is welcome :)

We've just published a new blog post "Why are we building yet another (federated) todo list app?"

#valueflows #nlnet #project-coordination #forgefed

"Working towards a future where communities can assemble their own social networks like lego blocks, to cultivate safe and private spaces while being interconnected with the rest of the "fediverse" and the internet at wide on their own terms."

New blog post: "Let a thousand bonfires bloom

Dopamine and attention manipulation are not inherent properties of a social network. They can be replaced by healthier behaviours and other ways of connecting humans and exploring collective intelligence..."

@tcit

We should talk at some point about the ActivityPub lib that @karen has been working for @bonfire starting with whether you're interested in using and collaborating on shared code like that, and what your requirements would be...

@mike_hales @bhaugen it looks like the domain expired and was taken over by spammers :(

We have decided to retire #CommonsPub as a project name and to focus in on @bonfire instead. Please follow us there or visit http://bonfire.cafe to learn more

@dajbelshaw @freedombone @bonfire @karen @bernini

Thanks Doug! I was actually wanting to reach out.

Bob, let's chat if you're up for it...

@mayel Yes! Thanks! I have been having trouble connecting with @forgefed or @bill_auger or @fr33domlover recently though, to make sure work is coordinated. As some things are still missing from ForgeFed that are needed.

@TheMainOne

@cj @TheMainOne @fr33domlover @bill_auger @forgefed

Also I wonder if the likes of @codeberg and #NotABug would be able to participate and/or support the effort, as they seem to be maintaining their own forks.

@cj @TheMainOne @fr33domlover @bill_auger @forgefed

OK, hope coordination can happen! It seems the spec is still WIP so there should be space for a Gitea integration to happen in parallel and participate in that process.
