5 cool whip containers full of chicken soup.
We picked up a cold rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, celery & carrots.
Add salt, pepper, thyme & an onion from the pantry.
End result? 5.5 meals worth of chicken soup.

RBQ Conf CFP is open now!

If people are interested and want to help drive the program for their next conference the opportunity exists.
I'm also interested in any steps they take to operate from public input.
I've spoken to both RubyCentral and removed maintainers over the last few weeks. Both state a desire for amicable resolution but that's outside my control.
We're stronger with more people involved & I wish I could snap my fingers and see it resolved.
I'm doing what I can to bring people together.
Hope to see you involved in the community in other ways. 👍
