- I must say the @rgsibg.bsky.social Collections team are EXCELLENT. The RGS has been on my bucket list since I was a youth, inspiring me in my travels through Chinese Turkestan, the Pamir Plateau, India and beyond, and their team are super warm and welcoming to non-professionals like me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Omg I slept 9 hours. Time to do some laundry then explore London.
- Okay so 3 hours of sleep oughta be enough before the ALL DAY PfP✨Stakeholder Forum, right? Right? 🥱
- Thank you for an excellent #PfP✨London Showcase @thebristolcable.bsky.social @aendra.com @jeremiahlee.bsky.social @mozdatacollective.bsky.social 👏👏👏
- Reposted by Chad Kohalyk in 🇬🇧 for #PfP✨LondonThe CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

- We had an amazing group at the @protocolsforpublishers.com #PfP✨London Showcase tonight. I met some of my old heroes, and made NEW heroes! Now it is 1:30 so I should get some shuteye before round 2 tomorrow. 🌙 Here’s me and @werd.io and @laurenshof.online at the end of the night ✌️

- Attended a talk by some g0v.tw and ocf.tw reps from Taiwan at Newspeak House. They covered the evolution of the #opensource community in Taiwan, the relation with the gov, and the “Bloody Truth” of OS economics :lolsob: We then had a wide-ranging conversation and 🍕💖
- If you need to DM me and Bsky DMs are too sketchy and you can’t get me on Signal HMU on Germ: ger.mx/api/card/fet...
- Signal is down and I have to fire up my VPN to see my Bsky DMs because of age verification laws here in the UK. Ugh! Bad day for digital communication!
- I was just there! Great Chinese New Year decorations everywhere.

- After having a massive fish & chips I stopped by a Sainsbury’s and picked up some Jaffa Cakes and Walker’s Salt & Vinegar before heading back to the hotel. 🇬🇧 Might have to put on some Doctor Who to round out the evening. 🙃
- There are a few things on here but I am gonna highlight the Reading Club for @shannonvallor.bsky.social's "The AI Mirror" which was one of my top books for 2025. Perfect book for discussion! If you are looking to join a reading club, this is a great book to start with

- Checked out the Newspeak House venue to prep for #PfP✨London, ended up staying for the Open Rights Group meetup, then got a massive fish&chips and hung out with faculty and fellows and even met some visitors from the Taiwan open source community passing through from FOSDEM. 💖
- After a 3 hour delay due to a water pump issue—which they couldn’t fix so just shut down the system resulting in no coffee, tea, or running water in the bathrooms for the 9hr flight—I finally took off to London 🇬🇧 Slept the whole way and checked into my hotel. Everything is so… British 😂
- About to get on this plane and fly to the UK 🇬🇧 for #PfP✨London First time in the UK. Looking forward to visiting a few spots, but also have a lot of people to catch up with. 🤝 Will send photos! 📸

- What a weekend. After seeing the sunset on the beach we had Indian-Chinese food for dinner, then the next day my wife baked roht at her Afghan cooking class, after which we popped over to the farmer’s market to shop for nuts at the Armenian dealer. Surrey is great!
