OpenStack Epoxy is out; this is the 23rd OpenStack release that I've contributed to; many in small ways but others in bigger ways.
GR-OSS also broke our record for total independent contributors at 5; our contributions were over 18% of the total commits in Ironic projects this cycle.

Like, listen, do you think I am *not* a wobbly ball of horror whenever I let myself think about anything but the immediate task in front of me? But that feeling accomplishes nothing by itself, so I post about birds and the dog and coveting weird little cactus.

I <3 this: if good people can find each other across a gulf of data and pixels, I have to think we will overcome.
Ok, possibly more than a little drunk. The boss decided we should experience GOOD Spanish wine, and then there was Limoncello, and anyway, I love you all and I swear to god, if good people can find each other across a gulf of data and pixels, I have to think we will overcome.

Maybe there's so many people with imposter syndrome because it's easier to assume people know what's going on than to accept the truth that most other humans are just trying to figure it out just like you are and somehow society exists anyway.

Reporting that being prepared for a meeting with someone as important as the Vice President is stressful because Harris is competent is a problem that really sums up the wholly deserved imposter syndrome fears of Big Journalism.

A good guy and his brother were killed last night -- the night before his sister's wedding. It's always doubly painful to hear news like this about someone so young and so talented. RIP Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. The NHL will not be the same without you.
