Happy hackfest day! - kmlussier

I seem to have overextended myself with pre-conference activities that involved baking cookies, practicing karaoke, and preparing my Friday morning keynote talk. As a result, I am delaying the post with my final fun fact about tuits until this weekend. But I can’t delay posting the results of my 2023 Evergreen Conference Tuit Challenge since today is hackfest day! Many thanks to the 17 people who signed up for my Tuit Challenge and committed to…

Two batches of Tuit Cookies are done. I know nearly all of the lyrics to American Pie. Now I just need to focus on getting my #evgils23 conference presentation ready. My priorities may be a little backwards.

With 17 signups,
@roganhamby gets to pick my song. Being the nice guy that he is, he allowed me to pick my own. In the spirit of the challenge, I went with the song I knew he was considering - American Pie. #evgils23 #EvergreenILS #evgils #takerisks #doscarythings

Out of all the pre-COVID activities we’ve been resuming over the past year, the one that has made me happiest is the return of in-person library conferences. There are so many benefits to online conferences, including their wide availability to people who otherwise could not travel to a conference, but there is nothing like getting together in the same space with professional colleagues to learn, problem solve, and catch up with one another. This time…

Purposeful Abandonment in Open-Source Projects - kmlussier

With less than a week until the deadline to submit hackfests commitments for the 2023 Evergreen International Conference Tuit Challenge, Rogan is just three commitments shy of getting the opportunity to pick my karaoke song. If somebody commits to working on the next OpenSRF release, he just needs two more people to step up. I am beginning to think I’ll be able to pick my own song. It’s a good thing too, because the song…

Thread: 1 week to sign up for the #evgils23 tuit challenge. 3 more signups needed for
@roganhamby to pick my karaoke song. Just 2 are needed if someone commits to working on an OpenSRF release. Can Rogan get enough people to step up? https://kmlussier.com/cookies-karaoke-and-the-quest-for-tuits/ #evergreenils #evgils

With a little prodding from Rogan, several Evergreen community members stepped up over the past week to commit to working on a project during the hackfest day, pushing us over the threshold where I am required to sing karaoke sometime during the 2023 Evergreen International Conference. I am now researching sites where the karaoke will happen. If you know of any good karaoke bars in the downtown Worcester area that can accommodate a large group…
