#SFC's polymath North American #FOSS conference — #FOSSY — occurs in Vancouver, BC, Canada in mid-August.
https://2026.fossy.ca/pages/tracks/
The #CfP closes SOON! There are many tracks, but I particularly urge you to submit to the #AI, Toolchain, & the Licensing/Legal tracks (as I'm on those committees).
I can't promise talk acceptance, but track organizers prefer “hard decisions” — by receiving more excellent submissions than fit. Thanks!

I started migrating from #NextCloud to #Radicale, but iOS threw a spanner in the works (turns out accountsd only checks for A and not AAAA DNS records!) I decided to go into a "half-migrated" state: pointing myself to the new instance to continue testing while leaving my partner pointing to the old one.
That caused a problem: any events we created in the meantime wouldn't be synced to the other's devices.
vdirsyncer came in super handy and enabled a three-way sync between NextCloud, Radicale and my laptop! So, despite being on two completely different #CalDAV servers, we both see exactly the same state and all updates flow through seamlessly. And, when they switch instance, it will be like nothing ever happened, despite being on different servers for a few weeks.
Thank you #openStandards and #freeSoftware!
