Anyone else heading to @FediVariety@mastodon.social's "Nodes on a Web: The Fediverse in/for Public Institutions" in Amsterdam tomorrow?
I'll be joining on behalf of @Bibliothecaris@social.edu.nl and I'm really looking forward to learning how other public organizations are finding their place in the #Fediverse.

What does digital independence look like for a #university?
At the University of #Groningen, this conversation has been growing bottom-up: academic & professional support staff are driving a move away from #BigTech toward shared, #open alternatives.
With support from the Uni Board, this effort is shaping a community-driven 5-year roadmap towards #DigitalAutonomy by 2030.
Newspaper Ukrant covered the shift.
