Hello fellow opensource gaming fanatics on lemmy! I follow this project since close at the beginning and finally made my account :D
I am glad to announce that onFOSS-LAN is going PUBLIC and thought you guys might be interested! But what is it? onFOSS-LAN is a online, FOSS-LAN-Party hosted by myself since 2021. The goal is to get people together, enjoying the art of computer games and having a great time in these days.
So if you are interested to play together with nice people, enjoying our well known opensource games and maybe want to get competitive in tournaments? Then you can call onFOSS a new home!
The upcoming onFOSS-LAN will take place on 17.04.2021 beginning at 11:30am CET and lasts until open-end. The tournaments are starting at 2:00pm CET and registration will take place at the beginning of each tournament. If you want a fix reserved slot, write me in advance ;-)
All info and the full time-plan can be found here: https://onfoss.hribhrib.at/
If you have any questions, write an email to onfoss@hribhrib.at or join our XMPP-channel “xmpp:onfoss@conference.hribhrib.at?join”.
well then it’s not LAN Party if it’s not made by getting together and connecting computers into Local Area Network.
I like the idea of this event, and I might even join, but do consider the changing the name of the event next time it is organised.
Nice to hear that you like the idea and looking forward to see you!
I totally get your point and the whole paradox “online LAN” started as a joke, however, I’ve tried things like “WAN-Party”, but nobody understood what it is. Also “Online multiplayer party” doesn’t differentiate between standard multiplayer and a closed play-together with self-hosted everything. So i think the idea of onFOSS is closer to a LAN-party than everything else!
If you have any idea how to call this event so that most people get what it is about, feel free to post it! I always appreciate feedback!
