We'd like to **invite you to propose technical talks covering the very latest progress across the whole space of Decentralised Communication** - whether that's messaging/VoIP projects built on Matrix, XMPP, DeltaChat, ActivityPub, ATProto, Automerge etc. This isn't just about open standards or realtime communication: this is ensuring that we as individuals have full sovereignty over our ability to communicate - and can do so safely across fully open networks, decentralised across the whole Internet, protected from propaganda and the whims and vicissitudes of today's tech giants and their stakeholders.

Technically messaging/voip is a bit narrow when including AP etc

do we have a nice photo from 2025 to add above the fold?

static/blog/img/fosdem-25-booth.webp or static/blog/img/fosdem-25-group-picture.webp could work, though ideally there would be one of the devroom to be on topic?
