#FOSSY is organized around tracks submitted and run by community members. You can still get your proposal in at https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/community-tracks/ to help shape this year's event! Personally I'd love to see some around #mobile, #ai, and licensing. (Separately, or together!)

3 years ago today is when I caught up to the (then) present with the @penaddict podcast (episode 553), after starting from the beginning. Have listened every week since. I know this because of my Midori 5-year journal, which I'm pretty sure I learned about from said podcast.

I finished "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. A short sweet break. Back to the Bookers, started "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" by Shehan Karunatilaka which so far I find too confusing but we'll see. Also finished rereading "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Murakami which I had to reread after reading his "The City and Its Uncertain Walls" which is the same book, sort of. Immediate temptation is to now reread "The City and Its Uncertain Walls". #books.

Finished monthly #Debian keyring updates push.

Today, idly wondering why we stick with the "###" in #LibreOffice Calc as the indicator for "column too narrow". I know it's convention, but one of the least useful software messages I think I've ever seen.

Most recently, we were forced to cancel a performance by Les Ballets Africains after artists from the Republic of Guinea were unable to obtain visas. Habib Koité, from Mali—whom we have welcomed to Boston 17 times since his first appearance with us in 2000—was forced to cancel his tour due to visa denials. We had been working to bring back Tinariwen, Tuareg artists from the Sahara region of southern Algeria and northern Mali, but their upcoming tour was abruptly halted because of visa issues."
