PSA:  I will be at #RustWeek in Utrech on the 19th and 20th.

I likely won't have much time outside the conference, but I will have some. If anyone from fedi is around the area at the same time, and wants to meet, my DMs are open.

Hrm. Do I join the #RustWeek discord, or do I not? Discord might be easier to keep track of during conference than email, because I will only have K9 and webmail with me, not my usual notmuch + emacs setup.

I'm not great at email either way, but without notmuch, I'm screwed.

HAH! #RustWeek just sent me an email asking me to look over and suggest changes to the script they plan to use when announcing my talk on stage.

AWESOME!

Say hello to "many pronouns, handle it". Not exactly that text, of course, because that has no mention of the talk's topic (although iocaine is related, and will get a very brief mention), but something along those lines.

Love it.

"He's a serial drive-by contributor, they have patches in keyboard firmware, in Debian tooling, syslog-ng, and a whole lot of other things. Lately it's messing with crawlers with iocaine." Something along those lines.

Sadly, I can’t make it to @rustnl #RustWeek next week β€” but I have a ticket and a hotel! If anyone is interested, dm me!

I think I addresses most pain points, so will be updating docs & doing some testing before the release on Friday.

Now back to doing other things, like polishing my #RustWeek talk...

If anyone is up for a quick 5k run at *Rust Week on Tuesday evening* after the conference, ping me. :)

To nobody's surprise, I'll be at #rustweek next week!

I'll be running around as part of the organization, but you can still catch me to chat. Talk to me about the conference itself, Roto, @nlnetlabs and more.

See you there!

I hope I can do a stream next week, because on saturday I will be traveling to utrecht for #rustweek and it would be nice to have another stream before that.

Hmmhmm. What should I put down as my pronouns on my #Rustweek badge? Personally, I don't care - my mother tongue has no pronouns, whatever people use in English makes no difference to me.

I could use he/him, because I am a cishet male1. But I kind of want to help normalize pronouns, and he/him... doesn't really do that, not in the current state of our society. So... I'm thinking they/them, or leaning into the mouse persona2 and go with it/its. Or any/all? Or something else?

If I want to be a good ally, people and other entities for whom pronouns are important, what would you make you feel more comfortable when seen on the badge of a white dude?

    For those attending #RustWeek, I arrive in Utrecht early evening on the 20th. I'll be at the all-hands during the day Thu/Fri/Sat. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know! Feel free to pick my brain on anything :)
