Some photos were taken during my #mainframe talk at #AllThingsOpen, here's my narrated tour of exactly* what I was saying when each of the trio of photos taken.
Thanks to everyone who attended my talks on Monday at #AllThingsOpen.
As promised, here are our slides w/ speaker notes for "Open Source Forests — The Case for Evolution vs Engineered Design" AKA "The Hidden Life of #OpenSource"
The reason I don't call X "Twitter" is because it's pretty clear to me that it's not Twitter.
Elon Musk might own the intellectual property known as Twitter. He might own assets that used to be called Twitter. Some of the folks who used to work at Twitter may now be working at X.
But X ain't Twitter because Twitter is dead. I'm not spreading false info; it's the plain truth. And you know how I know? Because Elon Musk himself admits it.
What we used to know as Twitter had an API that third-party developers could mess with. It had that account verification thing, even if it kinda sucked. Twitter was the spot where you could find cool new ideas and news.
That ain't X, and calling X Twitter is just disrespecting what Twitter once was.
@atomicpoet@jwz completely correct, X is not Twitter, it never was. The rebranding is not a shame, it is a relief, it is exactly what caused me to delete all of my content. I kept hearing people at #AllThingsOpen this week continue to refer to Twitter "follow me on Twitter" etc - nope - Twitter is gone. It's gone. The company and platform I worked at. Done. Butchered. Not coming back.
I did not sign up for X, the culture, terms of service, any of it.
Congratulations to the #AllThingsOpen team for a great couple of days in Raleigh.
The conference was a good size - enough for steady booth traffic, a bunch of people to meet and to get back in touch with, and sized well for the venue.
It felt like a pragmatic view on open source and development patterns around it ("this is a good way") rather than an ideological view ("This Is The Only Way").
If someone had signed up to be the Major Coffee Sponsor they could have made some friends.
Nice session from @discombobulateme about how to improve contribution accessibility for #OpenSource projects #AllThingsOpen - super helpful to have the guidelines broken down.
Excellent hallway track at #AllThingsOpen completely validates my decision to come, on my own dime, for myself. It was an investment in my own community relationships. Feeling pretty happy to have had the chance to meet so many great folks here.
@taylor_atx SAME!! i'm following the #allthingsopen tag here, wishing i was at the sessions. i'm in raleigh too, wondering if i can just drop by a session or two
Well, if my partner who works in hardware has taught me anything, the best practice is clear:
You punch holes in it, file it in an unlabeled 3-inch, 3 ring binder, and then put it on a shelf until you move. When someone asks you if you still need that binder, many many years later, you still insist it's important to keep.
Excellent summary of the legislative and policy challenges to #OpenSource from the EU CRA and US CISA rules from @suehle 👏🏻 complex stuff, but pleasing to see a decent number of people in the room for this panel #AllThingsOpen
Jono Bacon on stage at #allthingsopen saying out loud what I've heard a lot this week -- many people in tech are not happy with their jobs right now. Now for a "Feeling Stuck...now what?" keynote by James Quick.
