Hello from FOSDEM 2026!
This article is published during my live demo / talk 'POSSE content with Drupal using Nostr' in the Collaboration and content management devroom. Thank you for this opportunity!
NoNoNostr at FOSDEM, Noderunners, BTC Amsterdam, Nuxtstack and starting a foundation

A very, very late after summer holidays update
Time has flown by during the summer holidays. August gave me a welcome break from the digital world, and there were moments when I felt truly unplugged.

Week 12 + 13 updates: NIP-19 in Nostr-PHP
I don't have much to share, because I'm basicly working on the NIP-19 integration in the Nostr-PHP library. You can read why it's taking quite some time to finish it up as I started to work on this back in October '24.

Back at it, trying to find some flow on the things that are waiting to be implemented.

What started as an idea during Bitcoin 2024 Amsterdam, we accomplished it on February 1 & 2: be there with Nostr at FOSDEM! FOSDEM is one of the worlds biggest conferences for free and open-source minded people & communities held since 2000 in Brussels (Belgium).
Week 48 + 49 updates
2025 already started and I'm behind sharing weekly updates around the Nostr stuff.
