Yes, people lose Global Entry for (e.g.) showing up to protest ICE actions.
The #Palantir app (that ICE uses) accesses all federal photos. Hence,I don't let TSA photograph me at security.
Yes, CBP & FBI already have my photo, but if the photos are what is now allowing full information sharing between divisions of #Trump's corporation (er,I mean the federal government), I wanna thwart that.
FWIW, I give a hard time to #ICE & #TSA (but not #CBP & I've not had my Global Entry revoked — yet

@sri

Have you considered global entry? I mean, every USA government program could disappear soon, but Global Entry is still running & while you have to do an interview w/ CBP, once you have it, typically you do not even need to talk with an agent to enter. Even non-citizens can get it.

It does require your fingerprints & photo to go in federal database (I.e., Palantir gets them), but I was already in that database from 1990s when I taught high school, which requires a federal background check.

Soon, someone should make sure to submit a track proposal. I'm not on the track selection committee so I can't promise acceptance, but I suspect what's called for is a pro forma proposal — noting the success of your event last year & include the attendee count you had from that.

From there, if accepted, someone from #SFC will be in touch on next steps.

If you are familiar w/ FOSDEM DevRooms, #FOSSY tracks are loosely based on that.

…sorry I missed that the year listed on that site was clearly 2025 & it wasn't obviously “archived”.
May I make lemonade out of my inability-to-tell-5-from-6 lemons & suggest that *maaaaybe*, depending in attendee count, perhaps #FediCon can be accommodated en-masse as a Community Track at #FOSSY? I hope you'll all just use the application form to suggest & then discussion can spark from there:

…I just realized #FediCon is in the *same* venue as #FOSSY just *3* days before FOSSY starts!

I'm sad we weren't all in touch as maybe together we coulda gotten a better venue deal, but I hope #Fediverse folks going to event will be able stay in Vancouver for FOSSY!

Also, I suspect #SFC would welcome a Fediverse track at FOSSY…

…maybe as a B-sides event for overflow talks?
