Eventbrite is definitely not doing what it used to do
it's not making life easy for event organisers!
so, we're sending out smaller batches of emails to newsletter subscribers (today and tomorrow - sorry Zebedee, you're in the final batch for Sunday evening)
looking for some feedback as we start planning for 2025
Eventbrite is proving to be more flaky than a big flaky thing plus 10 bonus flaky points
If you would like to give us some feedback on #bclxiii please add something to this Google form
Thanks
Thank you for participating in BCLXIII. We hope you had as much fun attending as we did organizing it. We want to hear your feedback so we can keep improving our logistics and content. Please fill this quick survey and let us know your thoughts. The form is designed to be anonymous - only add your email address if you want to discuss volunteering for the next one.
the typeface "barcamp thirteen" is now usable :]

download the TTF and install it on your computer! use it in Notepad! use it on a website! use it in your document editor!
go forth and enjoy
(I probably won't be editing it much more - I have not done much kerning or matched bearings very well, just enough that it works)

At #bclxiii one person asked me what tech events are still going on in #London?
The combination of the COVID pandemic and WFH has kinda done a number on tech meetups/user groups/etc. Plus RIP Skills Matter, and Meetup and Eventbrite are, well, not exactly optimal for finding things.
Off the top of my head, the London Ruby User Group is pretty active, as are Python London, Rust London, the London Java Community, Codebar etc. What else?
we may have missed some #bclxiii tagged posts
our instance mastodon.org.uk appears to not catch them all using the hashtag follow and the search tools
happy to boost any that we might have missed although you may need to @ us
