This is very bad news. Owncast has relied on this program the past couple of years, and has allowed us to have servers and services we wouldn't normally afford to be able to do otherwise, especially now with Gabe being unemployed.

Any other cloud hosting providers want to step in and help all the open source projects that are going to be in this position?

Additionally, this might be a good time to show your financial support for Owncast.

Owncast v0.3.0 has been released! Two major features included are:

- Featured streams. Show streams from your community, or streams you support on your page to share. Built on ActivityPub. https://owncast.online/docs/social/featured-streams/

- Plugins. Your own code that runs within Owncast. This will only be useful if **you** actually write plugins for the community to use. Read more: https://owncast.online/docs/configuration/plugins/

Plus a brand new Owncast web page with updated docs!

...and a lot more updates.

Contributing to #opensource is not just about being technical. Most people say "I'd love to help, but I don't know how to write code". Lucky for you, the software development part is only a piece of what makes a project successful.

Here’s a way you can help #Owncast by doing almost nothing.

If you have any plans to go to a FOSS-adjacent conference or event at any point, contact me beforehand and I’ll send you a pack of stickers, pins, etc to drop off at the event.

Share this with others who might be attending events in the future. This small favor would make a large difference! Thank you!

There's actually an iptv standard that's big in some countries. I've installed apps built for it, and the Owncast Directory natively supports it. https://owncast.online/docs/watching-on-tvs/

For as long as the project has existed, people have asked for a way to pick up stickers, a t-shirt, or other Owncast branded item as a way to support the project. We never had the infrastructure in place to pull that off.

Today, say hello to the Owncast Merch Store!

https://merch.owncast.online/

A portion of every purchase goes to support the project.

To celebrate, we have a limited 5 year anniversary shirt. It's cool.

Speaking of cool, there's some Owncat stuff there. Owncat is cool.

This month we celebrate 5 years of Owncast. To start things off, we have a new Fediverse account. It's currently migrating followers from the old account, so we'll see if that works.

There will be a few special things this month to mark the 5 year occasion, so stay tuned!
