I’m not sure I got everyone’s name around the table in the lightning round of introductions but the hackathon included Douglas Kelly UnusualTechnologies, Simon Wilkinson @brightblack-arts.bsky.social Dan Tucker East City Films, @cjceglio.bsky.social Alexander Dohr #LastSeen, Kate Marrison and more!

I won a competition @ldml.bsky.social for the Connective Holocaust Commemoration Expo.

It means I get a session with creative & tech professionals towards my dream project - a VR model of Kitchener refugee camp.

Absolutely stunned - I never win anything!
