Oliver Schwarz, developer, agile professional and software architect near Cologne, Germany

What a month. There was a lot to do. I travelled across Germany a few times, went to the Scrumtisch in Cologne, moved from mastodon.social to indieweb.social. I read a lot and at the middle of the month I got back into running again (at least 42km in February). My left foot still hurts, somewhen I need to see a doctor. I had two free days in Berlin this time, visiting friends and enjoying the beautiful city. And I missed finishing my article for Manu's IndieWeb Carnival. Buh!

Tomorrow I will travel to China. First time since 2017. I am looking forward to meet my colleagues there and spend some time in this beautiful country. But there were a lot of publications last month. Here you go:

The open web

POSSE means Publish Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. Manu explains the concept.
Guestbooks seem to become the thing, but I don't know why. There was a time, where comment functions spawned discussions. Then there was a time, where comment functions became spam. Now people only share their opinion. Where does dialogue happen? The fediverse?
