#FOSSY sticker exchange pile in the ballroom: Grab some classics or some local Portland rarities!
RIP Milan Kundera -- Unbearable Lightness of Being and The Joke were very important books for me at the time: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/12/1151021446/milan-kundera-dies-unbearable-lightness-of-being

This week feels like summer is in full swing.
We have been reviewing your talk submissions.

ATL wifi blocks imaps and vpn and forces me to enter my email address (you can reach me at info@example.com, friends). Good work.
Finally found the intersection of motivation, no meeting, < 35C, and no rain, to go for a run. First in 10 days. :(
Spent a good part of the day fixing issues with my #PinePhone proximity sensor. Sorry but I just don't think "sensor:modalias:of:Nlight-sensorT*Csensortek,stk3311:*" is a reasonable syntax. Anyway, it works now.

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!
