@pwaring that’s very kind, thanks!

@andrew_shadura I didn’t realise you were at Fosdem, I would have loved to say hello!

@sxa yeah the review process was very quick. Impressive

@richardfontana I'd somehow missed that you'd moved into IBM (as have I, with the Middleware crew). "Welcome" might not be temporally accurate but "welcome" anyway!

@jzb Welp I failed to meet you. On the very off chance you’re near À La Becasse in the next hour and would like a beer. Find me!

@xavier sorry I missed this! I’m going to be in À La Becasse for the next hour (lovely pub near grand place) and you’d be welcome to join me (and small group of friendly Debian people)

@xavier I *loved* your PAW talk, thank you for sharing. I have more to write but you-know, FOSDEM, so maybe later!

Spoiler: I got in #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2026 #debian

The queue for the Debian project leader’s talk is enormous. And quite frankly I’m surprised. I doubt I’ll get in. But this much interest can only be good?

@neil fair enough… decompress! If you hit the bars tonight let fedi know

@neil (I’m now enconsed in a room for an hour or so, will ping later)

@neil are you still about? I’ll try to come and say hello if so

@neil “the coin culture”, coffee shop on one corner of “U” building, on the main strip, is *slightly* calmer than elsewhere. I’ve just secured a comfy sofa seat to recharge myself a little

@neil fwiw it’s generally quieter on Sunday. Especially in the morning. Good time for stalls

@kkremitzki thank you!

@kkremitzki which building are you folks in?

just restrained myself from clapping a #FOSDEM talk I was watching remotely

@webmink did you bring that sensors with you? Apropos, I've been looking for one for home, is that one worth the RRP? TIA!
