Loving this talk from @jzb.bsky.social

There's a way to talk about the uncomfortable aspects of OSS, AI usage and the world at large without being a doomer or preachy. It's an important topic and super well presented by Joe <3

If you're at #CfgMgmtCamp, there's a Hacking room at B.1.037 if you'd like to hack in peace.

(not quite an escape room, which is my other favourite type of room xkcd.com/2145/ )

If you are attending Women's lunch at #Cfgmgmtcamp today, please get your voucher from me or some of the booths (Kangaroot, Foreman. Overlook InfraTech, Ansible) and look for the Cfgmgmtcamp signs in the cafeteria so we can be seated together, 13:00-14:00. Cheers!

Coming to #CfgMgmtCamp tomorrow? Stop by and pick up some stickers and a social battery pin!
Some stickers -- a company logo, cutting the strings, and community fork -- and a handful of social battery pins.

Going from -20°C to this today. Actually it'll be +6°C when I land. Am I packing for summer?! 😂
Weather forecast for Brussels showing current temperature of plus 3 degrees Celsius, going up to plus 6 around the time my flight lands in the evening. Future forecasts show high of +9 and +8 respectively for the next 2 days. Current temperature in Tampere is minus 20 degree Celsius.

Updated my 2 laptops F42->F43 and Sequoia->Tahoe. Not sure why I decided one day before a major trip is a good time for that, but at least they went fine. (Well I did mess something up in Fedora but got it sorted. Should have gone atomic. Trying out cosmic desktop.)

Played #KingofMonsterIsland as #Cthulhu with medbots as my allies. A ninja Iron Rook and a healing Cthulhu took down Lithosaur after a long fight, but we managed to prevent the construction of the portal that destroys earth! I prefer this cooperative version of #KingofTokyo.

10 yrs in #RedHat today. Feel like I need to write something profound. I love my job not just because it involves #opensource and #community, but mostly because of the wonderful colleagues I work with & amazing managers I work for. I'm thankful for #LifeatRedHat. That's all I have to say about that.
My virtual puck with the Red Hat logo and "10 years. Carol Chen. 2026" on it.
