Hi Sam, At 2021-01-10Sun22:29:59+01, Sam Tuke sent: > In the email space Google has been causing havok for some time, using their dominant position to undermine email standards and autonomy.

That's very interesting. > No doubt they do both considerable harm and good, neither of which is new however, and neither is their sponsorship of FOSDEM. I didn't say that their considerable harm was new, but it has continued to progress in recent years and has become so bad that despite having tried very hard to flee Google for many years, I just can't get away from their impact.

Cancellation - Graph Systems and Algorithms Devroom
by Max Kiessling 08 Jan '21

Dear FOSDEM community! First of all, thanks to all those who are organising year after year and have managed to turn it into an online event.However, we are sorry to say that we will have to cancel this year's Graph Systems and Algorithms devroom. Probably due to the fact that this year's FOSDEM will be an online event, combined with very tight deadlines, we were not able to gather enough interest and received a significantly smaller amount of proposals. We thus decided to not go through with the devroom. Again, thanks for your amazing work! We hope to be back next year, hopefully in Brussels.Cheers, Max and Martin
