          <h1>About onFOSS</h1>
          <p>
            onFOSS is an online, "Free (as Freedom) and Open Source" LAN-Party.
            The goal is to get people together, enjoying the
            art of computer games and having a great time in these days. The FOSS
            community is a place of being open minded and acceptance to all
            different kinds of people with the focus of fully transparent systems
            and protecting individuals. So it does not matter if you are on Windows,
            Mac or Linux and it is also NOT necessary to have a PC MASTERRACE setup
            to run those games.

          <h2>Social Media</h2>
          <p>Finally, we are also on various social media<p>
          <ul>
            <li>Mastodon on <a rel="me" target="_blank" href="https://fosstodon.org/@onfoss">Fosstodon</a></li>
            <li>PeerTube on <a rel="me" target="_blank" href="https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/@onfoss">LinuxRocks</a></li>
            <li>RSS on <a href="{{ site.url }}/feed.xml">here</a> (copy this link to your favourite RSS reader)</li>

          <h3>Unofficial</h3>
          <p>We understand that not everyone is ready to switch to FOSS communication yet, due to RSS we can allow automation though! If you want to put the effort in any proprietary service you can be listed here. The main communication channel is NOT bridged here, so don't be scared that any communication on the FOSS channels will be transmitted to a proprietary service!</p>
