Good bye #FOSSBack , see you next year!
I had a geeat time at #FOSSBack these past two days. Will def go again!
Even at an extraordinarily smart event as #FOSSBackstage , people keep asking "Yeah but couldn't we do this [task that requires care, understanding and commitment] with generative AI?" and I am f*ing sick of it. If the task could not have been automated before the advent of "AI", then it should not be automated now. Just be a decent person put in the human work already! 😡

FOSS Backstage serves as a valuable check-in point for us, helping understand which topics are currently important to FOSS contributors, where challenges are emerging, and where there is a growing need for support.
We’re excited to connect with the people and projects driving open source forward, and to take part in the discussions and insights this event brings.

"Inclusion is not charity. It's sustainability." Keeping this is one in mind given the facts that Seyi pointed about about how much of the future workforce will be coming from Africa and how little we've been doing in that regard

Is anyone at #FOSSBack who knows a thing or two about a DJO Osmo Pocket 3?
I hope you will enjoy the orange stickers I have brought to #FOSSBack sticker exchange.

The funky music between the talks at #FOSSBackstage is captivating. 🕺
