To change that, I have decided to revamp my portfolio website to use the Tailwind NextJS starter blog template. With the skills I picked up from contributing to the AsyncAPI conference website, I managed to navigate TypeScript, and I think the website turned out better.

It's been a long while since I last wrote an article.

Okay, maybe that's a lie because I write the @AsyncAPI Initiative's Community Updates Newsletter and Blogs every month, but really, it's been a very long time since I last published an article sharing my thoughts and lessons.

I'm back home with new perspectives on how to improve, new ideas, and great connections I look forward to collaborating with in the future.

It was amazing to meet everyone, and let's build a more inclusive, sustainable, and open source ecosystem together.

Until next year!
Where maintainers discussed various aspects of open source projects, from creating a project to sustainability, funding, and finding the right governance model. Also, seeing the impact Africans are bringing to the open source ecosystem through skills training and equipping others with knowledge.
