I'll be at the last @osbridge today & am leaving Portland late tomorrow night. Looking forward to chatting and learning. Also: hope to verify safety numbers/keysign with a lot of people using PGP & Signal!

I'll be in Portland, Oregon for the final http://opensourcebridge.org/ (my firm Changeset Consulting is a sponsor) later this week. Happy to talk with you there about grantwriting, running better meetings, future availability for client engagements, Python packaging & more!

https://twitter.com/johnpaulspiro/status/1009400397490982912 I've been a fan of @johnpaulspiro's work for 10+ years -- looking forward to this event in NYC tonight (and already appreciated and learned from the Public Theater's summary of Coriolanus https://www.publictheater.org/PageFiles/27024/PSI_Coriolanus_Synopsis.pdf !)

Circa 1999, I got a Napster t-shirt (free? for ~$5?) at an https://www.eff.org/ event at Boalt Hall at UC Berkeley. The double-take dividends for wearing it to 90s nostalgia events are now rolling in. https://twitter.com/jessiepeterson/status/1004153736883789825
