Dave and I are considering submitting a Video, Graphics and Audion Devroom for #FOSDEM.

Would you be interested in helping us organise the Devroom, if it gets accepted? How can we get in touch with you?

A little message from our CEO and founder @andyhunter777.bsky.social ahead of Anti-Prime:
What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!
RSVPs are still open for the Postgres Women's Breakfast at @pgconfnyc.bsky.social on September 30!

Good people, nice food, and lots of tea and coffee—what more could you want to start your day?

And I heard something about a little gift for attendees . . . .

I look forward to seeing you there!

We should be able to hold that what happened to Charlie Kirk is horrible AND that Charlie Kirk was a horrible person. Both are true, and acknowledging one doesn’t negate the other.
