Rye bread salmon sandwich with a cup of cappuccino, next to my laptop, with the background airport view blurred, although you can see a sign for gates 29 to 60 in the distance.

Making connections at events is one of my favourite things, and I'm so honoured to meet these amazing folks at the #cfgmgmtcamp women's lunch! Brilliant, funny, insightful, from diverse backgrounds yet share relatable experiences- truly appreciate your stories & feedback ❤️ Cheers to our comradeship!

Regarding "Sovereign Cloud", maybe not building new hyperscalers with the full range of services is the way to go.

Rather an open source and linux approach:

Do one thing and do it well.

Weather app showing Tampere with high of -14C and low -21C today, and a "moderate low temperature warning". Tomorrow it'll range from -17 to -22, but at least it'll be sunny!

Loving this talk from @jzb.bsky.social

There's a way to talk about the uncomfortable aspects of OSS, AI usage and the world at large without being a doomer or preachy. It's an important topic and super well presented by Joe <3

Heists And Escapes

If you're at #CfgMgmtCamp, there's a Hacking room at B.1.037 if you'd like to hack in peace.

(not quite an escape room, which is my other favourite type of room xkcd.com/2145/ )

I don't think there's a stream for the Nix room, only the main auditorium (D.Aud) and B.Con

If you are attending Women's lunch at #Cfgmgmtcamp today, please get your voucher from me or some of the booths (Kangaroot, Foreman. Overlook InfraTech, Ansible) and look for the Cfgmgmtcamp signs in the cafeteria so we can be seated together, 13:00-14:00. Cheers!
