@nuccitheboss Once when I went to India, for an #OpportunityOpenSource conference, I had a connection in Dubai, but from an Emirates flight in the main terminal to a FlyDubai flight from another terminal. So I had to take a bus.
Not knowing how long it would take and also having a rather tight connection time, the 30 min (this is really long for a terminal-to-terminal connection) were like hours for me and a feared to miss the flight.
In the end I arrived exactly in time ...

@[email protected] @[email protected] I did not attend aKademy 2024, so I cannot say how well organized it was, but I have seen the guide for the Call for Hosts for 2025 and it is really amazing. I would like to adopt at least parts of it for the #OpportunityOpenSource conferences which I am organizing in India, so having its source files would be great. This would be helpful for many conference organizers.

@popey Sorry for the late reply, I am still in India (#OpportunityOpenSource, #UbuConAsia).
Unfortunately there are no Sprints on London any more, as we have huge Engineering Sprints where all the engineers of Canonical meet at once, needs huge hotels. And after pandemic last office bastions of Canonical turned WFH and Canonical moved to smaller office.
So, @popey go to more conferences, submit more talks ...
-
A few days left! Next weekend (Aug 24-26) there will be the second #OpportunityOpenSource! In the IIT Kanpur in India!
More than 40 great talks, panels, and lightning talks are waiting for you!
