After doing the Nostr stand and talk at FOSDEM 2025, we’ve now applied for a devroom for FOSDEM 2026. Your note was really inspiring for the proposal, especially since FOSDEM is going for more cross-domain devrooms this time. I totally agree, Nostr isn’t just a solution, it’s one of the most flexible protocols for a bigger movement. Hope to collaborate if the proposal gets approved. Thanks @rabble Proposal "Trustless Protocols for Cross-Domain Interoperability" The Trustless Protocols for Cross-Domain Interoperability devroom focuses on how open-source systems can work together through cryptographic identity and verifiable event exchange. It looks at what happens when trust is built through signatures and reproducibility instead of accounts, APIs, or centralized services. In most open ecosystems, interoperability still depends on federation or external identity providers. A new generation of protocols shows that collaboration can happen in a simpler and more direct way. By using lightweight, key-based architectures, applications can share information, verify each other’s actions, and stay independent at the same time. This devroom will bring together developers who want to explore how existing FOSS tools can connect through such trustless protocols. Examples include integrating key-based authentication into operating systems authentication, signing and verifying commits in Git workflows, or adding verifiable event exchange between local and self-hosted applications. The focus is on hands-on experimentation and collaboration between different communities. We want to highlight projects that push beyond their own domain, connecting systems for communication, identity, and coordination. The goal is to learn from each other and see what a shared, verifiable foundation could look like for future FOSS development. We expect a full-day schedule with around eight sessions, including talks and short demos. The program will be streamed and recorded under the CC-BY license. A small team of volunteers will manage the room and technical setup throughout the day. https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2026-call-for-devrooms/talk/review/UYQ9V89CVKTM8A98W7NPVAKHYUW739UC
