the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!

this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)

⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠

Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours) July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)

Future events

I’m planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀

If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)

Supporting the project 💜💜💜

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 💜

https://sc07.shop

the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:

  • mastodon.world
  • lemmy.world
  • blahaj.zone
  • toot.community
  • toast.ooo
  • Canvas 2024

✨ 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

Special thanks

thank you to the moderators that helped me this year, even with how stressful it was 🔨

    This will forever be recorded as one of the most exciting events to participate in for my whole life. I’ve never been this happy and excited before. It is fun and intriguing just to be able to explore and draw a bunch of pixels into a public canvas just like grabbing squares (pixels) and putting it into a giant block of land (the canvas) to draw art with.

    Great job! 😃

      In addition, I’m quoting from what I wrote in the News & Updates section of my generator hub page:

      But, in the end, I was able to put all of them together, a piece of history of my entire generator-making journey, into a part of a large collaborative canvas event! It was also really fun and I was able to interact with people from across the entire Fediverse, and it was also the very first time I experienced such things like that.
