Ce que j'adore à Paris Web, c'est accessibilité et l'inclusivité de la conférence. Voir les orateurices traduites en LSF et vice versa, c'est génial!

On peut voir en fond une démonstration de l'utilisation de PassKey sur GitHub. On the left side of the stage, Daniel Garnier-Moiroux talks about PassKeys, and on the right side of the stage, Sandrine translates into French Sign Language for the audience. In the background, we can see a demonstration of how to use PassKey on GitHub.

Panel on the future of Open Source in Africa, very important and informative topic.

We need more support, volunteer and help people who create and volunteer for those initiatives. Community is not nothing without the community.

I didn't get my luggage when I arrived in Tanzania. It was still in Amsterdam. It was a mission to get my luggage, so many people helped me, I finally got my luggage today 🥳🥳
Thank you to everyone who helped me to get it back, Asante Sana! 💚
