The joy of discovering @NorthBayPython got a shout out in the @PeoplesCDC weekly COVID-19 weather report on account of our approach to #HealthAndSafety :ablobcatneon: https://peoplescdc.org/2023/08/15/peoples-cdc-covid-19-weather-report-55/

There are shining examples of events around the globe fully adapting to the COVID era.

I'm thrilled with what #FOSSY, #OpenInfraSummit, and #BSDCan did earlier this year, like what #SeaGL has planned, and applaud the #PyConAU organizers for their approach, too: https://2023.pycon.org.au/safety/covid/ 👏🏻

@SeaGL now has it's own #Nextcloud instance, thanks to @osuosl for setting up and hosting it for us!

I've been using my personal NC instance for #SeaGL committee work for several years. Now I'm moving those files to our group instance

Nextcloud #Federation makes it easy to share and move

Share it with $person@$instance_url, then when it gives you the option for email or "$person on $instance_url" choose the latter for Federated share

Then it's easy to move to a new dir on the new instance

Spending a few hours tonight updating @SeaGL 's internal sponsorship documentation

This is our first in person event since 2019. It will be hybrid as we're continuing with out remote options as well

Please let us know if you'd like to help us by sponsoring or volunteering

Our next all hands #jitsi call is at 16:00 Pacific Time

#SCaLE20x recap

https://www.spiralarray.com/blog/2023/03/26/SCaLE_20x_recap.html

was sick when I got back and am just now starting to catch up on things

It was the shortest, busiest SCaLE for me, but still a great experience

Next on my horizon is #SeaGL with maybe a side trip for #FLOSSY

SeaGL gloves coming in warm and handy tonight as I work outside tonight in a stadium
