In 2025, I had the pleasure of sharing the open-source project Docsify-This at the ETUG Fall Workshop and Reclaim Open, demonstrating zero-infrastructure open publishing.
Any #openeducation or #openpublishing conferences I should apply for 2026? Know of any groups (including your own!) interested in low-barrier #Markdown publishing?
Interactive online sessions with live demos. In-person possible in #YVR
Suggestions welcome, DM or paul@hibbittsdesign.org
