This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people’s fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.
Yup! There will be one in 2026 in Canada!
Also 2 Fediforums coming up in 2026. It’s an online UnConference.
Sick! I’ve heard of worse excuses to visit Vancouver.

It was small last year, but hopefully we can help it grow! I’m hoping to go next year and bring the family as well. :-)
