Well, this is gross. Last year I presented at #foss4gna. Today I learned that the recording which was posted online (1) doesn't mention my co-presenter Maggie Cawley anywhere in the title or description, and (2) features this cringe AI-generated cartoon likeness of me that was made without my consent.

@foss4gna care to explain? The YouTube channel belongs to "Project Geospatial" whose website appears to be a firehose of AI slop. Does not make me want to participate in future FOSS4GNA events.

Got an email announcing #FOSS4GNA for 2025, or maybe 2026? Did not see the location in the *text* and clicked on the link to find it's on the left coast.

Then I noticed the city and state in the *image*, all curled up and hiding at the bottom of the circle.

I came back somewhat refreshed from Foss4gna and a bit frustrated. Overall - it was pretty decent. I don't get that excited about Reston. It was "meh". Flying isn't currently fun - not that it was much for me but it was less so this time. #foss4gna

Partly a recap of #FOSS4GNA, partly a reflection on 2025 and life.
