I cannot wait to also have one of the Czech Ada & #Zangemann books in my hands 🤗 🥰 Big thank you to Tomáš Starý, @mirek , Radek Vokál, and others whom I first met at #devconf who made that possible! 👏

Sad to miss #devconf this year. If you are there do not miss to talk to my amazing co-workers @floriansnow and @annabonnie about the @fsfe and #softwarefreedom .

Windy weather in Berlin does not prevent @isabela (@torproject 's executive director), and @fsfe 's @llas plus myself to meet at the FSFE's balcony to discuss about #softwarefreedom and #privacy .

Glad that Isabela and Pavel from @torproject recommended me to head back to the speaker backstage area at #neocypherpunk summit in Funkhaus Berlin to view this artwork.

Great to see that @maltman23 is attending #dwebcamp as well and will join with a presentation. Never met in person, but his work with TV-B-Gone enabled me to have conversations in restaurants which usually have TVs disturbing you. Already big thank you for your work and looking forward to thank you in person at the camp👏
