Alt text from ChatGPT: This is a photo of a presentation slide projected on a screen in front of an audience. The slide has a dark blue background and features a large yellow Pac-Man figure on the left. Text inside the "mouth" of Pac-Man reads: "LEAVE SOME SPACE HERE." On the right side of the slide, the heading says: "Remember the Pac-Man Rule" with "Pac-Man Rule" in yellow. Below it, white text reads: "Invite new people into your groups, make new friends, and build a community full of people who feel included."

One of my favorite #PositConf things, from @hadley.nz : the Pac-Man inclusiveness "rule"

Waves to those going to #PositConf2025 this year. Especially to any other Scots/UK or #Disabled folk 👋. This is realistically the only way someone like me can attend conferences. Highly recommend joining the conference Discord server for realtime discussion around the sessions and finding your clan.
