VCF Montreal

[LeoBinkowski]

DJ and I are going to VCF Montreal!


The event details are here: https://vcfed.org/vcf-montreal/ , but we don't yet know when we will be presenting. I'll update when we know for sure:
I will actually set up a table with my NABUs. I'd really like to meet everyone that will attend.

Are you and DJ going to be wearing those outfits?

You should have put the NABU logo on the front pocket of the overalls.

[LeoBinkowski]

Good Idea! I may put more logos on the next one, but I had already tweaked the prompt about 50 times, and was running out of tokens.

I dunno if we could find colorful overalls and red shoes, tho.

I’ve cross posted your posters to Mastodon, https://ruby.social/@AGMS00/115838920380748816
Hope they get some attention!

Hey thanks, AGMS

I was going to sign up on that mastodon to comment, but it's ruby based, and I feel bad about trying to sign up there. Maybe I should build a NABU mastodon.

Correct, that's a Ruby programmers instance / community on Mastodon. I signed up there when I was working more intensively on my less evil social media with forgiveness experiment in Ruby/Rails. But ended up talking about many other topics.

More appropriately for you would be a Canadian instance (https://mstdn.ca/ is the biggest, see list at https://mastodonserver.ca/ or the list at https://github.com/petersmithca/Canadia ... -Instances). Or perhaps join a retro computing instance (I don't know of any big ones). You could start your own; I see many instances with under 10 users. But that's a bit of work for long term - moderation chores and all that.
