#monktoberfest flights expensed. Man, I missed this conference.

CFP to #Monktoberfest in Portland, Maine in October this year and I am crossing my fingers for an acceptance because I need to go back home and have me some lobster rolls and some dinner at Central Provisions and Highroller. 🦞🦞

As a reminder, many event organizers ARE addressing COVID risk, and can see how health and safety is an extension of Codes of Conduct and inclusion initiatives.

#OpenInfraSummit, #PyConUS, #FOSSY, #RubyConfUS, #Monktoberfest, #PyConAU, #KiwiPyCon, #NBPy, #PyConIT, #PyCascades, #DevWorld, and #XWorld are just a few examples.

It can be done, at events small and large.

Let's celebrate their work to make events safer and more inclusive by giving them some love and participating! 👏🏻

🎧 I think I shared this previously, but I listened to it again today and just have to share it again.

🤩 @bcantrill delivers this talk with such humour and vigour. It was inspirational as a parent for its content and as a #DevRel for its delivery :)

👉️ Give it a watch or a listen (it works just fine w/out slides and yt-dlp is your friend if you want to listen to it on the go): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzdVSMRu16g

@nova Sounds like a talk idea for #Monktoberfest. I've never been, but from the videos on line I get that impression.

Maybe pitch to @sogrady?

I missed this when he first posted it years ago, but this piece by @mikeolson from 2013 decrying the Thiel Fellowship is extraordinary:

For me, @mikeolson is one of the "older peers" that I was making reference to in my #monktoberfest talk: while I have never worked with (or for) Mike directly, I have sought his counsel at several critical junctures over the years -- and have always appreciated his wisdom and humor. His piece from 2013 reflects both; a must-read!

The video for my talk at #monktoberfest is now up, and I would like to make an unusual request: please watch it.

As @monkchips pointed out after the talk, it's not just a talk about how we think about youth, but me reflecting on my own transition into adulthood (and parenthood!) -- and the responsibilities we have to younger technologists.

I am grateful to @sogrady -- as I have been so many times before -- for the venue uniquely suited to this talk; thank you!

In 2019 I gave the last talk at #Monktoberfest and this year, @amcasari and I gave the opening talk! The video was just posted today.

Sing along with us as we chronicle some events in #OpenSource history...when we broke the internet!

Thanks to the Monktoberfest crew for having us and generally being wonderful 💜

Melanie Warrick’s talk at this year’s #Monktoberfest will be a must-watch once the videos are out. Online privacy and security for the previous generation: why more paranoia is healthy, especially considering the more vulnerable people in your life.
