I get the same impression from the message. They had a successful pilot but no means to convert it to something structural. I guess it is easier to rely on social media outside of your control then take ownership. As other organisations are doing similar pilots, I hope they now realise the importance of organizing a follow-up.

Sinds 2023 kun je snel opzoeken of een overheidswebsite of app – die voor jou belangrijk is – goed is. Dat doe je op het ‘Dashboard Digitale Toegankelijkheid’ dat sinds vorig jaar in de lucht is. In de gelinkte toolkit vind je materialen zoals een modelbrief aan de wethouder of een modelmotie voor de gemeenteraad. https://iederin.nl/nu-eenvoudig-te-checken-hoe-toegankelijk-is-een-website-of-app/

I've come to the realization that I'm never going to sit down and watch all the talks that I wanted to see, but missed, in Brussels. So, I went through my FOSDEM app, downloaded the video tracks for all the talks, and converted them to mp3. Now I have podcast content for my daily commute... 24 talks... should take about 4 weeks to get through them all. FOSDEM is amazing, but it really should be longer than 2 days.

"The Nordic states are letting go of values and infrastructure resources that are dear to the welfare state – from shared access to public resources to democratic values and universal access to communication and electricity – while intensifying digitalization and dependencies on Silicon Valley companies."

The public values of openness, affordability of connection and universal access to infrastructure are under threat by Big Tech.

Good opinion piece from the university of Helsinki. We have similar trend and discussion in the Netherlands. "Are we ready to lose local companies, businesses, and non-digital industries in favour of providing storage space and substantial parts of the available electricity to Big Tech giants?" https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/reimagining-public-values-in-algorithmic-futures/whats-new/dismantling-public-values-one-data-center-at-the-time

Is anyone going to by way of on Friday afternoon or Saturday? There will be thousands of stickers at the Stickerkoning.nl ready to go to FOSDEM. But they don't have a ride because most of us are already in Brussels. It's at least two big boxes so not a task for train people to take on.

Good morning, Mastodon!

It's my turn for a and adventure. I'm going from Parma to Brussels to speak at a project management conference.

My route is Parma - Milan - Brig - Basel - Strasbourg - Brussels. 5 trains, 4 countries, plenty of possibilities that the trip takes an unexpected turn :)

First one is on time at 6:10. Let's do this!

nicorikken,
@nicorikken@mastodon.nl avatar

@rafa_font
Good travels and enjoy the experience even when things take unexpected turns. It is a project indeed. One question is how much you want to account for risks: how much extra time and backup plans are needed?

nicorikken,
@nicorikken@mastodon.nl avatar

@rafa_font
I never considered looking at past performances, clever. Indeed sometimes it isn't possible or it cannot be easily booked online with more time inbetween. At one of my recent international train travels an incident caused my initial local train to be cancelled halfway and I had to take an alternative route. The 1 hour space for this short trip prevented a cascading effect of the whole trip having to be replanned. Your Parma train sounds of similar importance.
