Future events
I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned π
If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)
Supporting the project πππ
I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events
poster sales
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to hello@sc07.company
π
the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:
- mastodon.world
- lemmy.world
- blahaj.zone
- toot.community
- toast.ooo
- Canvas 2024
β¨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately
EDIT: Shop is now live!
direct donations
Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly
contributing to the code
canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas
at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits
Timelapses
i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)
Data
Database dump: (48mb) https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt
Contains pixel placements, canvas moderation actions, and palette colors no IP addresses
chat.fediverse.events
This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well
tools (like a canvas atlas)
if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events
just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt
) or an email hello@sc07.company

The only thing that was removed after the canvas freeze was the map flag
For the unaware, some people use "map" as an acronym for "minor-attracted person". Which is an extremely weird thing to build your identity upon imho. Just get therapy or whatever, I won't judge you if you don't abuse another person, but why would anyone grow attached to a personal leaning that will only bring pain upon themselves or others?
Good call
All the pride flags I knew about are still up? Oh except for the one that was covering the Palestine flag.
