the best part of the #OpenSourceAwards was @rude1.blacksky.team talk about BlackSky!!

What an absolute legend, he even gave praise to the fedi and how ATP was influenced by it.

Really love everything he's doing, and makes me proud to be involved with forward thinking people in the open social web.

It wouldn't be possible to have our 2026 Awards recognising UK leadership in open technology without the generosity of our sponsors. 🙏

Nominations close at midnight BST on 6 September. Get nominating now: openuk.uk/awards/ 🚀
