A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining nearly 2000 of my open source colleagues at the Open Source Summit North America in Minneapolis.

There was a lot of AI, I got to geek out about architectures, and connect with a bunch of friends and colleagues who I hadn't seen in a few years. Great event.

I wrote about it here: https://princessleia.com/journal/2026/06/open-source-summit-2026/ #ossummit

The talks from #OpenSourceSummit NA 2026 are up on Youtube
Disappointed to see they don't have a PeerTube presence, oh well

Now to building my playlist from the Sched marked talks, wish I had a script to do it :)

The Great @landley is doing a talk on building the smallest possible Linux system and demonstrating using QEMU to run a build.

And guess what architecture he's using? 😁😁

You know.

The announcement of Azure Linux VM images from Microsoft yesterday during the keynotes was quite the surprise, but I was pleased to learn that @sjvn had done the legwork to get details and write up a whole article about it: https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-releases-its-first-server-linux-distribution-azure-linux-4-0/

And I was even more pleased to get to catch up with Stephen for a few minutes this morning 😄 #OSSummit
