Thursday, April 24: AHOY! European Social Web Day 2025, in Hamburg and online. The website says "We're connecting early adopters across Europe to discuss the Bluesky & AT Protocol ecosystem, helping shape apps, tools, infrastructure, use-cases, and campaigns that earn trust from users, organizations, and policymakers." Last month's ATmosphereConf in Seattle and online was great, and I expect Ahoy will have the same sense of positive energy and range of topics.

A Black History of the Web and Archiving Our Existence (Virtual), with @sjjphd@dair-community.social Dr. Charlton McIlwain, Dr. Catherine Knight Steele, Dr. Tonia Sutherland
