Still thinking about our time at #FOSSBackstage 💭

A huge thank you @FOSSBackstage for the warm welcome. It was a pleasure to hear from so many great minds, espacially @aeva @nilhb @mirkoboehm @elioqoshi , Anxhela Nicole Weber, Daniel Gerber, Drew DeVault and Zainab Daodu.

Thanks for sharing your perspectives with the community! Until next year! 🚀#LunaLMS #FOSSback

As usual the production at FOSS Backstage was high, and they were quick publishing the videos this year. Here's my talk "FOSS behind the scenes - the center stage is not enough":
