Josh Ourisman :apple_old_logo:<p>After the World Cup, my feed now has a lot of French <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rugby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rugby</span></a> content that my severely atrophied French skills are just not up to. I should probably work on that. (Great timing, now that my sister no longer lives in France, and is instead dating an Italian and spending time with his family in Florence…) <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RWC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RWC2023</span></a></p>
Graham Downs<p>So begins my last working week of 2023. </p><p>And it's a short week too, because our president declared Friday 15 December a public holiday to celebrate our <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/RWC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RWC2023</span></a> win. </p><p>Here's hoping it's not too hectic.</p><p>Have a wonderful Monday, everyone!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Leave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Leave</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Holidays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Holidays</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAfrica</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/PublicHoliday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHoliday</span></a></p>
Rugby<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://toot.wales/users/jaz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jaz</span></a></span> Hi jaz,<br></p> Spoiler | IntroJust stumbled over your post by chance, working on this server and it's forum pages.<br>We had to move to a new provider and VPS hosting setup and actually delayed that for the time being of the RWC to at least evolve this forum page as far as possible.<br>The old setup was a BETA testing for friendica servers that actually didn't worked out and the core funtionallity of friendica forums didn't work as expected.<br>It's still possible that we run into trouble over here, it's kinda adjusting and bug searching thing that comes with the tec itself, federation in particular, open source development and all that stuff. Point being is that if not already, we are now at least able to make this work as it should in terms of functinality.<br>I'll edit this very answer so you can see how for example "spoilers" look like over here and soon. If you browse this profile on our server you find that most RWC 2023 game reports are only half finished, and actually if time and inspiration shows up I might be able to finish them some day before the next <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=RWC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RWC</span></a>, one alone can only achieve "so much" you know ..<p><br>You wrote:<br>&gt; Find and follow <span class="h-card"><a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/rugby" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>rugby</span></a></span> - this is a group function that shares your posts with the rugby group. Simply add the rugby group user account to your post.</p><p>This friendica forum has not only also the same ability as the mastodon a.gup.pe service, which btw we are following, it's actually a profile with lot's of extras that can moderate, schedule post reminders for important game events like 6 and 4 nations games or <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=VXW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VXW</span></a> games, as you can see in this profile already.</p><p>While <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=RWC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RWC2023</span></a> was ongoing, the a.gup.pe functionality of resharing post's to followers didn't work but right now other profiles like <a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/permaculture" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the permaculture forum</a> or <a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/tutorial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the tutorial profile</a> do work already like that so this rugby forum page should too.</p><p>As you will find in this profile page:<br><a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/rugby" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tupambae.org/profile/rugby</a></p><p>.. we have <a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/rugby/photos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a sorted photo gallery for pictures published by this profile</a>, own post's are sorted into categories like <a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/rugby/conversations?category=Finals" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Finals</a> or <a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/rugby/conversations?category=RWC2023QuarterFinals" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Quarter Finals</a> and can be reorganized too.<br>There is a the chance to use a <a href="https://tupambae.org/calendar" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">calender</a> a <a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/rugby/media" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">media page</a> (not sure what that's about actually) and public <a href="https://tupambae.org/community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">local</a> and <a href="https://tupambae.org/community/global" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">global</a> community pages.</p><p></p> Spoiler | As this needs wo/menPower .. as an editor for some special occasion I might be able to cover that but in general I wont, so unless someone want's to take care of that, the basic offer is the a.gup.pe functionality of this <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=forumpage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>forumpage</span></a>. I will set notification for my self about posts directed to this forum so if I become aware of some upcoming important international event or games I might schedule some post but I can't promise anything.<br>Another neat functionality is the ability to save post's from others into categories,I haven't digged into that. The upcoming <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>friendica</span></a> release will add some kind of "channels" that people will be able to subscribe to created by a profile if I got that right, so staying tuned might become even more interesting.<p><br><a href="https://tupambae.org/display/596e30be-91a954bcc6b15c4e-7773af7e" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This is the link</a> to you very own post hosted over here, if you visit it you'll find how mastodon toot's are displayed over here and how our post's actually look like in our editing environment which is way more elaborated as the mastodon tooting, which is nice but more like a a telegraf microblogging for cell phones.</p><p>If people out there don't get direct response by this profile in case of questions for example you can than try to contact the mastodon profile <span class="h-card"><a href="https://troet.cafe/users/bitpickup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bitpickup</span></a></span> or the profile <span class="h-card"><a href="https://tupambae.org/profile/utopiarte" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>utopiarte</span></a></span> over here directly.</p><p>ave fun and</p><p>"give blood - play <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=rugby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rugby</span></a> !"</p>

Graham Downs<p>ICYMI, <a href="https://c.im/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAfrica</span></a>'s president Cyril Ramaphosa spoke to the nation last night, and amongst other things, declared Friday 15 December 2023 as a <a href="https://c.im/tags/PublicHoliday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHoliday</span></a>.</p><p>Ostensibly it's to celebrate the Springbok's victory over New Zealand in the <a href="https://c.im/tags/RWC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RWC2023</span></a>, and an anticipated South African victory in the <a href="https://c.im/tags/CWC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CWC2023</span></a> too. ;-)</p><p>The reason he's postponing it for so long is because he doesn't want to disrupt the Matric exams. Which is understandable, if you ask me. </p><p>But also, I think, it's because the 16th of December, which is a regular public holiday here, falls on a Saturday this year, and the unions have been grumbling that they basically miss out because there's no carry-over for Saturday public holidays (Sunday ones carry over to the following Monday, but Saturday ones do not).</p>
