My grandmother passed right before my ML talk at #FOSDEM. I had amazing support from my team to go home and back out of my talks at #SOOCon24 if I wanted to. But, I know what my grandmother would have said— the show must go on.
Back in London for day two of State of Open Con 2024. Yesterday, I was volunteering on the event crew all morning, so didn’t attend any talks, but spent a while as a “welcome bot” on the door, and room usher. That meant I had plenty of opportunities for quick chats with friends and familiar faces. In the afternoon I attended a few interesting talks, which I will probably talk about on an upcoming @linuxmatters soon.
Today, talks the morning then I am volunteering in the afternoon 🥰 #soocon24
