I missed the 11ty Meetup today but to my defense, I did a lightning talk about 11ty/import that grew into a discussion about 11ty at #AurajokiOverflow afterwork.
Together with @turkufrontend and #AurajokiOverflow, we organised a meetup with a improvisation lightning talk extravaganza.
It was a lot of fun for both the speakers and the audience.

Our second session today was a wonderful 5-speaker improvised lightning talk extravaganza.
We invited 5 people from our community to craft a lightning talk in 30 minutes from topics crowdsourced from the meetup audience and then perform those 5 minute lightning talks to the audience in a lovely potpourri of tech and fun.
Our most ambitious anime crossover meetup with #AurajokiOverflow is in full speed at Solita.
We got Eyal Eshet sharing us information about the upcoming European Accessibility Act.
It’s meetup time!

"Since I left you, I have been constantly depressed. My happiness is to be near you." wrote Napoleon in his letter to Josephine some 200 years ago.
And yet, it's so accurate still when working with a backend that is not #Django.
I gave a talk confessing my love for Django this Wednesday at #AurajokiOverflow meetup.
I'm doing final preparations for my talk at Aurajoki Overflow tonight. I will be performing a public love letter for #Django and share my favourite parts of the framework.
As usual, I'm doing last minute changes to the structure and flow just hours before the talk.
Procrastination is about making sure I'm the oldest and wisest I've ever been by the time I make changes.
(the talk won't be recorded but my slides and notes are available at https://hamatti.org/love-letter )
This talk is a short love letter for Django. Abstract Python developers have many good web frameworks to choose from and Django is my favourite. In this public declaration of love, I talk about the best parts of Django and why in the sea full of fish, it’s a strong option to choose for projects of all sorts.
