Folks, we still need a few more volunteers to help us with #FOSSY next week - who wants to spend a little time hanging at the rego desk? Volunteer tickets are free (though of course anyone can also email us if the lowest level is too much...)
For some reason I'm proud of myself that I've started consistently shutting down the computer by clicking the shutdown icon instead of switching to the terminal and typing "sudo shutdown -h now".

One week until FOSSY! Be sure to register this week so we have an accurate head count for lunch and get your fancy printed badge (see blog post!). We're so thankful to our track organizers, speakers, sponsors, volunteers and community members who have helped us put this together ❤️

The main topic on social media today seems to be social media.
I'm learning too late that I could've stacked the Pacific Northwest Pen Show this weekend (https://pnwpenshow.com/) and #FOSSY (https://2023.fossy.us) afterward to make for a doubly awesome week in Portland. Only FOSSY this year, but next year, hopefully both!

When did Amazon break the ability to just buy MP3s? They seem to have now somehow wrapped it up with Amazon Music streaming, and if the stream doesn't work, you can't get to the menu to buy the MP3? I'm guessing the stream doesn't work because I don't have EME in my browser?
