Christiano Anderson: FOSDEM 2024

It was fun to attend FOSDEM for the first time. The event is of immense magnitude, as multiple talks are occurring simultaneously, and approximately 8000 individuals from all over the globe attended the event. It’s a chance to meet new people, learn about new technology, get stickers (I’m trying to find more space on my laptop to put more stickers) and help out at the event. My first FOSDEM and my first time volunteering to heralding the lightning talks, what a great way to get immersed in the event!

Heather J Meeker ☛ From Project to Profit–Audiobook [Ed: The voice of Microsoft is pushing DRM (Audible)]

I’m happy to announce that my audiobook is available on Audible. I narrated the book myself, and there are references to charts and tables that require looking at my website here, so the audiobook is at a substantial discount from the paperback.
