(okay, I looked it up on the Online Etymology Dictionary. Apparently, it comes from French and means that they can be steered, or directed).

It's been pointed out that the FediForum front page isn't super clear that the next FediForum is online.

Yes, it is! You can join us from anywhere between central Europe to the American west coast during reasonably hours, and from the rest of the time zones from less reasonable hours, but online!
