And even more #FOSDEM main track, another VCS that still has a warm place in my heart: "Mercurial, 20 years and counting", by Raphaël Gomès and Pierre-Yves David.

After that a @calyxos related #FOSDEM talk by Aysha and @grote about "HSM based signing for AOSP projects".

Fast paced, info dense... hope my doodles are correct (enough) 😅

Next at #FOSDEM I got to take it easy as I'd done my sketches beforehand (per one of the speaker's request). So had time to fully listen to Fabio Giovanazzi and @flypig talk about "NewPipe and SailPipe".

@jeroenheijmans Do you make these on request for recorded talks too?

@boegel Hah 😊 appreciate the perceived implicit compliment 😅

This started as (and mostly still is) a way to better absorb presented content for me personally. But feel free to suggest a recording link 😉 - no promises though, this is certainly not my day job 😁

@jeroenheijmans Thanks so much again, your art really made the talk! And it was lovely to meet you in person afterwards.

My task now is to go through all of the sketches you made of other talks to decide which ones I want to watch in full!

@flypig cheers, and likewise! 😁
