I had an opportunity to talk about Power Dynamics, Rug Pulls, and Other Corporate Impacts on OSS Sustainability at SCALE 2026 in Pasadena last weekend! As always, I had a lovely time at SCALE!

What better way to close SCaLE 23x than with a Drum and Bass night at Old Towne Pub Pasadena? #SCaLE23x

Curtains drawn on another scale - #scale23x. Thanks again to all the awesome volunteers and speakers who make this happen every year. Y’all are awesome.

Another great year for #Fedora and #CentOS at #Scale23x! I love events like this that reinforce the "Friends" in Fedora!

I didn't make the best if it this year, but it was wonderful to see everyone this year at #scale23x. Hopefully, I'll be able to make more time to connect next year. 🥰

The computer history podcast I mentioned during a Q&A at #SCALE23x earlier was @adventofcomputing

Episode 60 is where he digs into the early days of COBOL development

C'était cool #scale23x mais comme d'hab j'ai vu personne de Bordeaux. Tjs pareil, quand il s'agit de se bouger le popotin, il y a plus personne
