What machine readable wishes could do for your social death?

Late last year me and Sam’s talk for FOSDEM 2026 was accepted. We shared the slides here but now you can watch the whole video.

Death is inevitable, yet most of us are woefully unprepared. Fear and lack of time often prevent us from putting our affairs in any order, leaving our loved ones to pick up the pieces of a difficult period compounded by uncertainty. While a legal will can address the distribution of assets, it often falls short in capturing the nuanced personal wishes that truly matter.

Its short but fear not we will be back with a longer talk and much more detail at Oggcamp Manchester 2026.
