If you've ever wondered how Open Source projects hang together, then you'll enjoy this session at @OggCamp@twitter.com from returning speaker @JeroenBaten@twitter.com "Runnning an open source project with (almost) no community".

I like searching for random things on ebay and then wait for the emails to start rolling in for the next two weeks: "Are you still interested in 8 Track cassettes?"

For the love of Melusine. Please don't let kids within organisations see my fliers.

I'm tired of kids getting hold of one of my refurb fliers and thinking they can get a top end gaming machine for £2.50 and a pat on the head.

"No, I will NEVER see an Alienware machine from any of my suppliers!" #ShakesFist

Well that's just stupid!

Dear LinkedIN
I would suggest that in today's climate of keeping your users safe you might consider covering yourselves by offering them the ability to question individuals as to why they want to link up instead of just offering two choices of "Accept" and "Ignore"

Things just get better and better. FOSDEM will babysit your partner if FOSS doesn't interest them and now GUADEC will babysit your kids. #Result

Did you know that child care services are being offered at #GUADEC through the @univofmacedonia@twitter.com! Bring your kids. Bring all the kids! They can get a jump start on learning Greek. 😋

This is the price we pay for using "Shame" and "accusations" to get people and organisations to do things. The moment a question or comment is made on what is deemed to be a sensitive subject EVERYONE immediately gets defensive. #LeSigh

When a disabled person asks if your event is accessible we are not trying to be hostile or asking just to “prove a point” or “make you look bad” 🙄 - we just want to know if we can enter the space, or what we will have to navigate once we are there. #Accessibility
