Main thread: https://toast.ooo/post/15168448

Canvas 2026 has concluded!

Thank you all for participating, it’s been a blast as always! 💜

Canvas 2026 ran from July 18th @ 4am UTC - July 20th @ 4am UTC

Feedback & Future Events

Hope you enjoyed the event as much as I and the moderators did! If you have any feedback, feature requests, or really anything, drop it in this thread (include any fun event ideas you have as well!)

Canvas Prints ✨

Bringing the Canvas prints back this year, but only for like 2 weeks. Once August 1st rolls around, the shop will close again. (You’ll also be able to buy any previous year’s prints)

https://sc07.shop/

International shipping is a pain, so this year the shop will only let you checkout with an address in the United States. But! if you are wanting to get a print, but are not in the US, fill out this form and I’ll see what I can do :)

Source

Just as always, Canvas is an open source project! If you want to take a peek at the code, report and issue directly to the tracker, or even contribute yourself, the source is available on sc07.dev

You can register either with your Fediverse account, or with an email and password. Unfortunately due to a lot of casino bots, registration is behind an approval queue. Send an email to hello@sc07.com if you’d like to ensure I see it

Direct Donations

(i wasn’t clear on the stripe page that the fediverse handles would be public, so this is a placeholder until i get confirmation they all want it public or not)

Support

If you are having issues with the website, send an email to hello@sc07.company

Database Dump

the old system for pixel placement logs was flawed, and someone suggested the brilliant idea of just publishing the database dump, it already has all the information anyway

no ip addresses, or ban logs only pixel placements (with username), pixel moderation logs and palette settings

https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt

Canvas Repo - Canvas Timelapse Repo

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 🔨
