First IRL meeting of the Belgian ATmosphere Enthusiasts! No agenda, we want to hang out and drink tasty pints... Because TGIF ! Whether you’re deep into the ATmosphere, just Bluesky‑curious, or you only come for the beers, you’re very welcome. Drop by, say hi, put faces on handles, and help us shape what ATproto meetups in Belgium could look like. Come as you are, stay as long (or short) as you like, and feel free to bring a friend who might enjoy the ATmosphere. 🍻 **About the venue** Bla Bla Pub Bistro is a 1‑minute walk from Brussels Central Station, so it’s easy for Atmofans from both Flanders and Wallonia to join us.
Join us for an inspiring day of discussion, demos, and workshops about open source tools and open protocols. Enshittified platforms and proprietary tools are not only making the world worse, but they make it harder for game creators to connect with an audience. But as tech-savvy systems thinkers, game creators are uniquely positioned to push back in a number of ways. Tired of feeling powerless when your game dev tools change their terms of service or increase their monthly fees? Matt Hammill (Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime) was, so he took the plunge into open source alternatives: Godot, Krita, Blender, and more. He'll give a tour of his workspace and share the pain points and keyboard shortcuts he learned along the way. Have you bounced off the indie social media alternative, or never even tried it? Rob Gehl, author of Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media (Oxford Press), will give us an insider tour and teach us hands-on tips and tricks to make the non-algorithmic and non-extractive option work for you and your game creation practice. What if your D&D character could login to a video game? What if they could login to many games, and carry your escapades through many worlds? Join the notorious Cousin Vagabond on a quest that transforms your Bluesky account into a passport for adventure! Along the way you'll learn how the AT Protocol is expanding our capacities as game designers, liberating our data as players, and unlocking new ways to craft collaborative worlds beyond the social web. Christine Lemmer-Webber and David Thompson have a long history of developing open source technology and decentralized (social) networking protocols such as ActivityPub. But how to explain such tech, how to make sure it actually works, and how to keep it all fun? Spritely's team talks about their use of game jam demo-driven-development to build an internet for social good! Disgusted by Google's complicity with Trump, TGW co-organizer Jim Munroe kicked his 15 year habit in a month. He will be sharing the self-hosted alternatives for collaborative docs, safer email and calendar hosting options, and even an open source Android OS for his phone! Learn about community-run technocritical projects like Yunohost that makes DIY self-hosting much easier for the moderately technically able, and the power of asking for help in welcoming forums. Part of https://torontogamesweek.com 2026!
Join us for a picnic in the park to celebrate the summer with friends in the atmosphere! **WHEN**: We'll meet up around 10am and go til lunchtime or whenever :) **WHERE**: The Picnic House at Prospect Park, ideally at a picnic table if we snag one, otherwise on the field nearby. *Find us here!* https://maps.app.goo.gl/MgJqp6Eutde4bMg56?g_st=ac Bring food and drinks if you like, this will be casual potluck style. Blankets / portable chairs / games / miscellaneous accessories to fun if you like! Families welcome! You're very welcome — encouraged, even! — to bring friends to onboard to the atmosphere. We'd like to do a future meetup with a more structured "welcome to the atmosphere" theme as well).

Use atproto to update your website by midnight on June 15 to earn rewards. Learn something new with the CodeTV community! If we’re being honest — like, really honest — we all just kinda want to ignore all our work and redesign our personal sites for the hundredth time. So… let’s do that. These days, it’s hard to know where we belong online. Platforms that used to feel open are locking down, and we can’t assume that everyone we meet has an account on every platform. We need a home online that’s actually ours: a personal website. The only downside to a personal website has historically been that they’re hard to keep up to date, especially with all the social media giants restricting their APIs. But now, with the AT Protocol, we have a chance to actually own our data again, and use our activity across the whole “atmosphere” anywhere we want — including on our personal websites.
Join us for a social get together after the Public Spaces unconference. Atproto and ActivityPub enthusiasts welcome! 📍Brons Terrace On the waterfront of the Postjesweg, you will find BRONS. Located at the iconic Het Sieraad, this is the ultimate low-key all-day hotspot where you can walk in at any time of the day. Postjesweg 1, 1057 DT Amsterdam 🍸Sponsor free This event is sponsor free, please pay for your own tab/food when making an order. More details to follow.
The sixth edition of the PublicSpaces conference focuses on the impact of technology on our democracy https://conference.publicspaces.net/en Tickets are now available: https://tickets.publicspaces.net/publicspaces/pubconf2026/ Also includes Open Social Awards https://newpublic.org/OSA # This year's theme: 'Technology for Democracy' Whereas in its early days the internet was seen as a great promise for our democracy – giving everyone a voice and providing unlimited access to information – today it is seen above all as a threat. The digital space is dominated by big tech companies whose primary goal is to maximize profits. The internet increasingly serves as an arena for geopolitical strategies. Non-transparent algorithms and the unrestrained spread of AI-generated fake news cause disinformation and polarization. As a result, a shared reality – with room for democratic values such as freedom of expression, the prohibition of discrimination, and the right to privacy – is no longer a given, and public debate and free elections are under threat. ## Healthy public debate A digital public space is essential for a healthy democratic society. During the sixth edition of the PublicSpaces Conference on Thursday, June 4, Friday, June 5, and Saturday, June 6, in Amsterdam, PublicSpaces and Waag Futurelab will explore how this digital public space can be shaped based on democratic values. This will be done through keynotes by international speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and, of course, the art program. This year, you can follow the program through three different tracks: Digital Autonomy, Public AI, and TheNextSocials (in collaboration with New_ Public). On Thursday June 4th, there will be a pre-conference programme. On Friday June 5th, the conference will take place at Pakhuis de Zwijger https://dezwijger.nl/, and on Saturday June 6th, Waag Futurelab will open its doors for a new edition of Hyperlink.

Thanks! **Q**: Can I speak at a future event? **A**: Sure, please reach out if you're interested! Both technical and non-technical topics very welcome.
