XOXO: Launching XOXO Explore. “Named after what we thought would be a throwaway title for a short-lived GitHub repo, allow us to introduce XOXO Explore. Each festival year now has its own index, featuring the complete lineup of every speaker, performer, artist, and project from that year, along with a detailed (and accurate!) schedule with descriptions, dates, times, and venues meticulously […]

Holy moly, @shinypb absolutely made my day with this XOXO-related news. I must make a pilgrimage to the big DELICIOUS BURGER with my mini version!

(Miss you terribly, #xoxofest.)

Heya, I’m at #btconf today, find me for hugs & stickers. I brought a @molly0xfff collection plus some surprise #JSConfEU & @couchdb items.

One of the reasons I’m going is that I simply miss my people. This is only my second event after #XOXOFest this summer since the covid era started and this week, more than any other, I need to re-find my community.

Please come and say hi <3

I just published a post to my blog, no tags, no images (I'm horrible about matching my content to tags people actually use)

But I would like feedback on my more than slight crazy idea for a conference format (it isn't specific to one field or topic) and it is influenced in part by #xoxofest which I attended earlier this year.

While I didn't say this in my post (may edit it to add) please feel free to copy this idea (I'd love to help)

I'm two minutes into Dan Olson's XOXO talk and I've never felt more seen

the idea of putting off watching something because I know it's going to ensnare me in a mind-spiral of "why am I not doing this I could do this I'm going to spend a month seething and proving it to myself" I mean my goodness

the hazard zone?! the gulch?! me too! I know there's nothing new under the sun, but it's so reassuring to know I'm not alone

I don't know #xoxofest , I'm nowhere near that business, and I only know @cabel as an amusing person here on #mastodon .

But this is a really fun talk. Kudos. (and watch till the end)

The talks from the final XOXO festival are... glorious. The web (still) has loads of wonderful people doing wonderful work. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
