#taslug — Public Fediverse posts

Tonight I hosted a #TasLUG meetup in #Hobart, which is the first meeting we’ve have in over 5 years ( yes pre covid times ). 18 amazing people headed out to enjoy some networking with like minded people, to listen to myself and @kgoetz give some talk summaries from #EO2025, and share some pizza and drinks. It was great to see some younger people (high schoolers) coming along and joining in too. My cup is feeling full tonight.

I'm making progress on #Matrix spaces!

I found this list: https://joinmatrix.org/guide/popular-rooms/

Also the following spaces:
- #RetroComputing: https://matrix.to/#/#retro:nil.im
- #OSDevelopment: https://matrix.to/#/#osdev:matrix.org
- #OpenStreetMap: https://matrix.to/#/#osm-space:matrix.org
- #Ubuntu: https://matrix.to/#/#community:ubuntu.com

And some rooms:
- #SelfHosted: https://matrix.to/#/#selfhosted:matrix.org
- #HomeAssistant https://matrix.to/#/#Home-Assistant:matrix.org
- #TasLUG: https://matrix.to/#/#taslug:matrix.org

I am convinced I used to be part of a big Australia Matrix space when I first joined years ago, but can't find it any more. One day it will appear...
