One of the best things last year in @elixir-lang.org was 2 community conferences popping up in EU:

@alchemyconf.com in Portugal and goatmire in Sweden!

Both were absolutely fantastic experiences.

Now goatmire is happening again, and you should absolutely go! It was an amazing experience!
I was thinking since Goatmire Elixir turned out pretty good I should maybe do another one. 30th of Sep - 2nd of Oct this year.

We have a list to notify you about the progress and when tickets drop, getting on that list also helps indicate interest.

Credo 1.7.15 is out now, with massive perf improvements for large #ElixirLang codebases.
Got a few PRs in flight for Credo which cumulatively dropped the runtime from ~33 seconds down to ~9 on our 3500 file #ElixirLang codebase at work. 😁

Don't miss the standing ovation at the end..
Saša Jurić brought "Tell me a story" to the Goatmire stage and people have been asking for the video ever since. Phenomenal contents, delightful presentation. A must.

A highly experienced beginner. Ellyse Cedeno took us through her journey with getting into hardware using Nerves after many years of Elixir development.

No reason to be afraid of NervesConf EU. Keep an eye out for more from Ellyse, she is awesome.

Hi Elixir friends,
After 3 years on Hologram full-time (transpiles Elixir to the browser), I'm at a crossroads.

60+ hr weeks balancing contracts & dev isn't sustainable.

Even sharing helps 💜

The mac will occasionally just kinda forget that it has an audio jack and that port won't be recognized. So, no music from my speakers. Can plug them into the audio port on my microphone and they work, so it's not the speakers.

Needs a reboot to fix.
