Last weekend at #FOSDEM, @josvanschouten.bsky.social and I spoke in the Community Devroom about something most event organizers hope they’ll never need to deal with: what happens if someone breaks the Code of Conduct?

Alya Abbott in "Pull requests maintainers will love to review" talked a bit about AI-generated PRs and how those are not so lovely.
