BSD Cafe AnnouncementsDear friends of the BSD Cafe,This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right - for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.So I’m happy to announce a new service: The BSD Cafe Journal - <a href="https://journal.bsd.cafe" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://journal.bsd.cafe</a>At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles - a place to inform and connect. Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafes to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed - all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.What it’s not: It’s not here to replace personal blogs, or excellent newsletters like <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@vermaden" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@vermaden</a> ’s. And it’s not an aggregator.What it is: A place where authors can write original content, share links to posts on their own blogs or elsewhere, publish guides, offer insights, or dive into technical explanations. The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general. No hype (sharing a cool new service is fine, posting non-stop about the latest trend is not), no drama, no politics. The goal is to bring people together, not divide them. To inform, not inflame. Respect, tolerance, and inclusivity are key. Everyone should feel welcome reading the BSD Cafe Journal - never judged, offended, or excluded.The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons: it’s portable (runs well on all BSDs), has great built-in role management (contributors, authors, etc.), and - last but not least - supports ActivityPub. This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse (like: <a href="https://journal.bsd.cafe/author/stefano/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@stefano</a> ) and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy - all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell. So here’s my call for action: Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge - the Journal is waiting for you.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafeServices</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafeUpdates</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeAnnouncements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafeAnnouncements</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BCJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BCJournal</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafeJournal</a>

Stefano MarinelliDear friends of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafe</a> and the entire <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>, tomorrow I'll be announcing a new idea/service from BSD Cafe. In my opinion, it's something that can be extremely useful to the entire BSD and Open Source community in general - even to pique curiosity and attract new users.I'm still finalizing a few details, mainly in the guidelines, which I'll lay out in the presentation post. As with all services, I'll need your collaboration and help (I'm just the Barista, but the Cafe is interesting thanks to all of you!), this time more than ever. Stay tuned! <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafeUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafeUpdates</a>

BSD Cafe AnnouncementsHello <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafe</a> friends! After some thorough testing, I've decided to introduce <a href="https://nileane.fr/@nileane" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@nileane</a> 's TangerineUI ( <a href="https://nileane.fr/@TangerineUI" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@TangerineUI</a> ) as an optional interface for our <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> instance. In my opinion, its lovely colors bring a cheerful and calm vibe to the interface, and I truly hope you'll enjoy it. Rest assured, all other current interfaces - the Mastodon Bird UI (by <a href="https://mementomori.social/@rolle" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@rolle</a> ( and the default - remain unchanged.
