<h1>Month of the Fediverse</h1>
<p class="tagline">A whole-month decentralized build-in-the-open. September 2026.</p>
<section>
<h2>What</h2>
<p>A whole month of building things for and on the fediverse, together, in
the open. Not a 48-hour hackathon sprint — a sustainable month with a
weekly rhythm, where anyone can join with a project of their own or by
contributing to an existing one.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>When</h2>
<p>All of <strong>September 2026</strong>. The month orbits the
<a href="https://berlinfedi.day/en/">3rd Berlin Fediverse Day</a>
(11–13 September, c-base Berlin): build toward Berlin, meet there,
and keep building on what it sparks.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>The weekly rhythm</h2>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Monday</th>
<td><strong>Kickoff.</strong> Post what you’re building this week
(and any asks / help wanted). A weekly theme gives lurkers a hook.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>All week</th>
<td><strong>Build in the open.</strong> Optionally stream while you dev
with <span class="hashtags"><code>#nowstreaming</code></span>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Friday</th>
<td><strong>Demo day.</strong> Show what moved — post a clip or
thread with <span class="hashtags"><code>#demoday</code></span>.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</section>
<section>
<h2>How to join</h2>
<ul>
<li>Follow <code>@fedimonth@fedimonth.softwaregardening.org</code> on the fediverse.</li>
<li>Post with <span class="hashtags"><code>#fedimonth</code></span> — say what you’re building, or just that you’re in.</li>
<li>No idea yet? You don’t need one — contribute to an existing
fediverse project (docs, testing, translation, bug fixes) or pick something
from the ideas board.</li>
<li>Share Friday demos with <span class="hashtags"><code>#fedimonth #demoday</code></span>.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Fediverse Direct</h2>
<p>Short, lightly-produced video drops in the style of a Nintendo Direct:
self-contained clips from participants, stitched back-to-back with minimal
connective tissue. Submit a clip, we assemble it. The more people build, the
more Directs happen.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>The finale</h2>
<p>The month ends with a showcase demo day and a finale Direct —
everyone shows what they made. Recognition through peer spotlights, no
ranking, no winners and losers.</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Hashtags</h2>
<ul class="hashtags">
<li><code>#fedimonth</code> — everything</li>
<li><code>#demoday</code> — Friday demos</li>
<li><code>#nowstreaming</code> — building live on Owncast</li>
</ul>
