I want smaller tech companies that focus on a thing they care about, pay a bunch of people and everyone goes home on time.

Do I know anyone in Berlin with a Nikonos or comparable waterproof (analogue) camera which I could borrow for the weekend?

Boosts welcome, especially if you have followers in the area

UK Educamp (personal) reflection-o-rama | Notion

This week was our third iteration of Educamp, we’ve run 3 events in 13 months with events in Sheffield, Edinburgh and Cambridge. So, with it being in Cambridge I was really nervous. A lot of the organisation had happened while I was on parenting leave and one of my senior product managers, Karen, had taken the lead in getting the on-the-ground stuff done but then was off on holiday the day before (which is my baby-holding day) so we had to do a handover with lots of plastic wallets and my son trying hard to pull her hair/grab any hot drinks on the table.

Today I'm at #UKEduCamp (summer edition). Here we are with @blangry suggesting sessions. There was a huge round of applause for someone suggesting a session on "How can we make progress when no-one will make a decision?"

Today's working-for-Americans problem is that some of our data for Burkina Faso cites L'Autorité de Régulation du Secteur de l'Energie (ARSE) and so the internal email system won't let us exchange files mentioning it. Due to 'inappropriate language'.

The line to the depot at Sarajevo crosses a busy road. Put the barriers down? Nah. Just hoot like hell!
