Fediversity was represented in Bergen at the Nordunet Conference for 2024, with both the Internet Discourse Foundation and Nordunet themselves being present. This was a great opportunity for the different organisations in the consortium to meet with each other and exchange ideas.
One of those new ideas that came out of the conference is to think about offering [EduMEET](https://edumeet.org/) as a part of Fediversity. EduMEET is an open source video conferencing platform that is build for and by the Research and Education community. EduMEET allows for the possibility of recording conference calls, but does not offer an easy place to host these recordings. PeerTube is already mature fediverse software that offers video hosting. Combining these two pieces of software in the offering to onboard public organisations can make it easier to offer a complete package for the organisations. It can potentially help lower the barrier of entry, while at the same time making it more attractive for public education organisations to start using fediverse software.
Fediversity is now starting to explore if and how efforts with Nordunet to promote EduMEET can be combined with Fediversity's (and thus Nordunet!) project to promote the fediverse.
Another aspect that came out of the conference is the possibility to use [Argus](https://openargus.org/) as a real-time monitoring tool as part of our hosting stack that we're building. How to do real-time monitoring was so far still unclear in our plans for building a Nix panel, but Argus might just be the open source tool we're looking for.
It was exciting to meet so many people in the community that are all working towards building better digital systems for public organisations, and we're proud to contribute our small piece to a much larger puzzle. Hope to meet more of you all soon!
