Principal Research Software Engineer at CIM piloting this #bonfire instance. Expect a mix of RT from my mastodon account with genuine posts about #bonfire and the #fediverse
@mayel simplified UI would be helpful. Replies do not automatically show up under a comment
@Piziomo @mayelcan you elaborate on what aspects do you feel complex or would want to see changed?
@mayel, Learning about the possible use cases.
What didn't work?
What got in the way: jargon, the tools, the format, time?
@mayel the signup process didn't work for some. There were several separate issues:
Replacing Tabula
What would happen if bonfire.cim replaced Tabula?
@Nerea 🥰 🤣
Testing Group
In case you want to test features in a group, you can do it this one bonfire.cim.warwick.ac.uk/pu...
Re Bonfire's groups
This post at @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe 's website about groups and other tools to organise and codesign may be of your interest bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
and with the latest beta versions, groups are now federated, meaning that they can be followed and interacted with from any app from the #Fediverse , such as Mastodon.

Amazing #scrollytelling about project dependencies based on the infamous XKCD stripe!
Only one week away! 🥳
What are you most looking forward to at #NOSF2026 ?
Interesting background reading about #bonfire 's values and vision.
@bjorn@fediscience.org @matherion@mastodon.nl happy to help! Do ask any questions! Actually, I have just set up a group that was intended to discuss OpenScience features and uses with fellow researchers/OpenScience proponents, even they are not using Bonfire. It is in alpha status, so may not yet work as intended, but maybe you can join from your mastodon accounts already?
@bjorn@fediscience.org @matherion@mastodon.nl Also, you are welcome to join our instance. You could try creating an account yourselves by using orcid -> bonfire.cim.warwick.ac.uk/ab... . If that doesn't work, I'm happy to provide an invite link privately.
@ccamara @matherion yea sorry, probably should have provided a little more context. We are currently setting up an instance for researchers in the Netherlands, so given that you are further along than us I think we''d be very interested to see how you implement this!

@bjorn@fediscience.org thanks for the ping. Sadliy, the wokrshop will be in person only. Is there anything particular you'd be interested in @matherion@mastodon.nl ?
Very excited to officially kickstart our @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe server at Warwick and to be able to codesign it with fellow researchers!
Highly specific request:
Are you autistic/adhd/dyspraxic?
Have you defended a thesis (PhD viva)?
Did you you ask for reasonable adjustments? What’s reasonable?
If you can answer yes to all three, and wouldn’t mind sharing your experience please let me know.
A useful resource to understand / explain what the Fediverse is: https://fediverse.info
This drives me crazy.
