7 years ago while in #Edinburgh for #OSSEU I walked past this building after dinner thinking it looks cool and reminds me of #Gringotts.

This year while checking out hotels for our August trip there I'm like hey this looks familiar! And booked it. And got upgraded to the suite right under the dome.

A benefit of having a partner working in the same field. Paul is browsing LWN and sees the title of an article that I’d probably be interested in reading about rug pulls and forks. It’s a summary of the talk I just gave at #OSSEU in Amsterdam. 🤣 It’s a lovely overview of the talk if you’re a subscriber!

#osseu 2025 has been my first international trip using the app @kde itinerary to manage the transportation, accommodation... Planned my trip in my laptop and exported it to my phone. It worked.

Wasn't allowed to buy 5 IKEA octopi with the Linux foundation gift card thing from the trivia game. Mean.

A tale of two t-shirts: the fitted ("for women") XXL is still smaller than the regular size S. From the same brand. 🤔

(Thanks to #OSSummit #OSSEU for the lovely swag! The event has been great, I just think the t-shirt sizing is absurd...)

@tonk yeah it's been amazing, and I already want to go back. Been to Scotland 3x, first time in 2011 (after being laid off by Nokia), second time in 2018 for #OSSEU (but fell sick). So this time I finally could properly enjoy the trip, and it didn't disappoint 😊

Had a great 3 days at Open Source Summit EU learning what's happening in various #opensource and open hardware projects. Continuing the experience with AI_Dev for 2 more days! Feel free to say hi and chat if you see me 👋 #OSSummit #OSSEU #AIDev

Well, #OpenSourceSummit #OSSEU was good fun.

Had the chance to properly chat to @hazelweakly after many times just existing around each other at events. Plus I met some colleagues in person finally.

As usual I have a long list of things to research from the talks and hallway track, but more importantly for positive brain feels I now have more karaoke songs in my repertoire!
