- A big shoutout to @mrbobbytabl.es for muleing this Seiko GMT for me from Japan. The white dial is a Japanese market exclusive so acquiring one was more complicated than most. Looks great on wrist!
- It does look quite good. :D
- @castrojo.bsky.social kicking off the end user stories at #kubecon
- I was away for Halloween, but my pet sitter decided to get a costume for Ripley so she could celebrate.🤣
- Snippet from a recent convo of ours
- Happy to help in the publication of this guide. Sooo many projects and organizations have difficulty conveying the real value of their contributions; and its hard to justify continued contribution when you can't actually communicate its value.
- We just launched a CHAOSS Practitioner Guide about Demonstrating Organizational Value. A huge thank you to @mrbobbytabl.es, since his presentations were the inspiration for the guide and they were the starting point for the content in the guide. fastwonderblog.com/2025/07/22/d...

- Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it :)
- Love the callout regarding Archived projects and that it’s okay for some projects to not move forward if. Archive also isn’t a “dead end”. Projects can come back from archive - OpenEBS recently did this with a reboot of their community :)
- Full room of people coming up with ideas for new TAG initiatives! All sorts of things to help the projects.
- The CNCF EU Maintainer Summit is kicking off with more than 350 maintainers!

- RE: maintainer summit CFP "waves" Wave 1 is the deadline if you NEED a scholarship to attend! Scholarship opportunities close BEFORE the deadline for wave 2. Details here: bit.ly/cncf-mseu25-...
- Kubernetes apparently made it into an NCIS episode - DURING KubeCon. I guess theres any clear indicator that K8s has hit peek adoption, its that it gets used as techno-jargon to explain things in TV 🤣 Thanks @thisisnotapril.bsky.social for the find. youtu.be/AzrHurE_PSI

- I'm just waiting for the next "hacker" scene in a movie to use kubectl to get a secret and "decode it" to get some sort of secret key or passphrase or something :p

- Give it another few years, I'm sure they'll do the same :p

- The updated count came in and we actually broke 2900 O_o ...I wish the program committee the best of luck to get through the workload. It's not easy.

- With KubeCon and LFMS I didn't get a chance to watch as they came out. I watched Act 1 and 2 yesterday, then 3 this morning.

- it was definitely a hellofa emotional rollercoaster.
- The session unfortunately wasn't recorded, but here are the slides from my talk at LFMS on quantifying the ROI of contributing to OSS speakerdeck.com/mrbobbytable...
- [Not loaded yet]
- I did cover that :) but less so in the slides directly. It's sort of in there towards the end where its about classifying features and mapping those things back to value
- Always choose desktop backgrounds as interesting as @mrbobbytabl.es does 😂
- at GitHub Universe it brought more people to the booth than the k8s slide I had up XD
- Giving my talk on a framework to quantify contributing to OSS ROI will start in 7ish min at LFMS in the Sebastian and Berigner Room!

- Well...I guess its time I come back to paying attention to this now.
- Question for folk: How do you manage the multiple social media platforms? I find I will bias towards one for a bit (twitter, bluesky etc) but neglect the others until there's a thread or reason for me to use it and then I switch and neglect the other >_>

- I'm still on there because it has the largest reach outside of core oss folk. Like if I'm boosting K8s announcements, or PSA'ish type things I will always default to there.
- 🚨🚨 REMINDER 🚨🚨 KubeCon EU CFP closes in less than TWO weeks! (26th) For those in the US, with Thanksgiving around the corner, this is likely the last week to get a submission in! events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...
- Halloween Tool concert was everything I hoped it would be \o/
- 🚨🚨🚨🚨 If you have been impacted by layoffs or corp budget freezes and wish to attend KubeCon - the CNCF has 200 free in person all access passes available. They are first come, first serve, so definitely reach out soon 👇 events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...
- PSA for those that want to switch back to the old Slack UI (at least until they disable this method...), the steps in this reddit thread DO work: old.reddit.com/r/Slack/comm...

- I haven't been into it seriously in like 13 years, but one does not simply stop being a weeb :p Like... yesterday I was listening to the original Hellsing soundtrack.
