Managed to win a prize at the #FOSDEM2024 github afterparty.
And due to my bad handwriting it seems I am now also known as Pele 🤷♂️
Had a great evening at the GitHub social event. I had the opportunity to meet some inspiring folks 👍😉 thanks #github #fosdem2024 #fosdem
An idea for next #FOSDEM: instead of printing our cool logos on stickers, we print them on masks. Hopefully they'll go just as fast and people will proudly wear them. I bet they would even change them faster than recommended to show support for all the projects they like.
#FOSDEM finished, #CfgMgmtCamp to come - time for a short wrap-up.
My unscientific, high level, impression from (virtual) attendance of #fosdem2024 is that we are entering a third period of the "movement".
The lone hacker #foss years are fading away, the #bigtech #opensource embrace is currently very dominant but we are slowly getting into yet another era where the public sector is involved.
We might call it the #publiccode or #digitalpublicgood era.
In the end code, being a form of cultural expression, will reflect more or less the structure of society
Almost 1,000 speakers at #FOSDEM this weekend (this slide only shows like 20% of them).
We may be able to actually exceed 1,000 speakers next year, for the 25th edition of @fosdem…
Thanks everyone for making FOSDEM great! I'll see you again next year, maybe I'll even speak 👀 #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2024
