Men and women become housewives on Sunday, especially if one is single. Men won't be as pretty though xD

## FOSDEM
I do know about the presence of this conference for many years, but I never attended it (and it's just around the corner for me coming from the south of The Netherlands). Attending FOSDEM with Nostr was quite a no-brainer to me. FOSDEM has the perfect tech-savy audience who will understand the protocol pretty quick. Our main goal would be to explain Nostr as a protocol and what new kind of applications can be build with it (and why we need it). During Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024 I proposed the idea for applying with a Nostr stand at FOSDEM '25 to @npub1l77twp5l02jadkcjn6eeulv2j7y5vmf9tf3hhtq7h7rp0vzhgpzqz0swft and @npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa.
Jurjen and I created the application on October 29 2024. Without any expectations as no one knew what kind of policy they have. As a result we were really excited when we heard that our submission was approved (16 November 2024). Two weeks later we also proposed a main talk about Nostr (1 december 2024) and again we very surpised it was accepted (10 January 2025)!
Now it was time for us to work out all of the plans we had:
* Design and print promotional items
* Flyers
* Stickers
* NIP-01 folder
* Banners
* Gather all the equipment we need to demo Nostr stuff at the stand
* Book accomodations
* Prepare a keynote
* Start a Geyser fundraiser to cover all the expenses as much as possible
On the 21th of January we launched our [Geyser project](https://geyser.fund/project/nostrfosdem2025?hero=geyser) and with one very generous donation we already achieved our funding goal within just ONE hour! Wow!!!
### Friday
In the evening Jurjen organized a Nostr fringe at the place of Commons Hub Brussels. Around 25 people joined, so that was a pleasant surpise so many showed up and shared their interest into Nostr.
### Saterday
We're arrived a bit too late as the venue was already packed with a lot of people! For the first hours we had no power, so we our computer screen with the slides was not. What we saw immediately was the huge interest in stickers. Not only our Nostr stickers, but in general you can grab stickers everywhere on each stand. People at FOSDEM like stickers a lot!
We were there with five and during the whole day all of use had conversations explaining Nostr or having related discussions around social media and centralisation.

### Sunday
This day was less crowded than the day before so we had a bit more room to breath, relax and explore other areas of the conference.
In the afternoon it was up to Constant to give his Nostr keynote at one of the two mainstages of FOSDEM.
The recording is available [here on fosdem.org](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6452-nostr-notes-and-other-stuff-transmitted-by-relays/) and on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbt3jL1Ms0w).
All the keynotes slides can be found [here](https://nostrver.se/sites/default/files/2025-02/Nostr_FOS_jW08Poa.odp).
### Learnings / insights
* We need to be there again next year !!!
* We had zero inconvenient moments or unreasonable debates.
* Some attendees are pretty hardcore as one of them visited the stand the second time after when he installed the Gossip client on his PostmarketOS powered phone asking how to proceed using Nostr. People at FOSDEM are not normal ;-)
* Many people do ask why Nostr is here as another social media protocol.
* Questions about the differences with other protocols are very common, mentioning ActivityPub and ATproto.
* Almost everyone knows what Mastodon and the fediverse is.
* Had some questions how private Nostr is, so this confirms that we really need the private stuff for Nostr.
* At many moments it was hard to understand each other due all the noise from other people. Especially when you're speaking not your native language.
* When talking about using a private key you get really good questions how convient it could be (or not as some really don't believe it can work for normies) used in the context of social media. As in how often you will need this key for the actions you take using a Nostr client. A topic also very well explained by Constant in the Nostr main talk.
* We had 500+ stickers, but we needed more as we ran out of them during the Sunday morning.
* We handed-out around 400-500 NIP-01 folders.
* We handed-out almost 1000 A5 flyers.
* We did almost no onboardings but that's fine. FOSDEM attendees are tech-savy and will find their own way using the Nostr with some client. We were not there telling people what they should do.
* We need more merchandise next year. There were some stands with outstanding merchandise and I'm sure Nostr can offer the same (even better!) with the many talented creatives we already have in the community.
* Having just one table with a size of 180x80 (just like any other stand) you really have to choice what to display and not. Being there with 5-6 people was just enough as we all were quite surprised with the amount of interest.
* The FOSDEM organisation asked us multiple times how things were going. Especially with the announced protests against Jack Dorsey they were curious we didn't have any inconvenient moments. We really appreciate that!
* Overall we had the feeling that we were very welcome and we had a great opportunity to introduce Nostr to a new audience.

## Debugging Nostr AUTH with PHP
The week after FOSDEM I spent some hours on debugging these issues:
* [Unclear nip-42 auth spec and/or behavior](https://github.com/nostrability/nostrability/issues/163#issuecomment-2639839500) and [this MR](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/82)
* [Uncaught error when writing to nostr.wine](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/77)
As a result and with some help of @npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c I submitted [this merge request](https://github.com/sirn-se/websocket-php/pull/100) for the \`sirn-se/websocket-php\` package used in the Nostr-PHP library to fix connection errors on relays (WebSocket servers) which don't response with a reason when the HTTP connection is upgraded to the WebSocket protocol.
## Nostr-PHP development
Next month (March) I will pick up my development on Nostr-PHP again.
* Finish up the NIP-19 integration
* Pick up the [work](https://nostr-php.dev/guides/asynchronous-and-concurrent-requests) on async and concurrent requests with websockets
* Create more [examples](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/tree/main/src/Examples)
* Create examples using the Symfony and Laravel framework
* Take care of incoming merge requests with new features (thanks Djuri)
As of that moment I also will be publishing my weekly reports here sharing the stuff I did around Nostr.
