Finally home after #fosdem, and it feels wrong thinking I've only been away for a weekend (it felt so much longer!).

I've loved hanging around the @thunderbird stand and talking to people about what Thunderbird means to them and what we could do to make things even better for them.

Also meeting a bunch of old friends, and making new ones. Everyone I've talked to over the weekend has been absolutely amazing.

I also want to acknowledge the issues of #fosdem. I tried to do my part to keep the people I talked to safe, by getting booster COVID and flu vaccines ahead of the event (with enough time for them to be effective) and by masking when I was inside, but this kind of things should be the result of event rules and guidelines, not personal initiatives.

That said, I want to end this short thread on a positive note. I've met a lot of very interesting and lovely people this weekend, and heard a lot of them make very good points on very important topics (I highly recommend checking out @mrchrisadams's talk when it's out fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…). And it was great to get to spend some time with my lovely coworkers from @thunderbird, which I don't get to do often enough.
