I have a talk looking for a home.

HMU if you have CFPs still open and want to hear a nerd question their entire professional data + software reality.

"Yeah, yeah, we already knew that, Lindsey. Who's on the agenda this year? Spill the beans already!"

OK!

The !!Con 2024 organizers are EXTREMELY excited to announce our amazing keynote speakers for this year.

drumroll, please... 🥁

Our first keynote speaker is ✨ Dawn Walker ✨ (@dcwalk)!

Dawn is a researcher and designer who works to create lasting alternatives to existing ways of building technology. She has started a tech worker co-op, participated in community-led archiving of environmental and climate data, and schemed about mesh networking (to name just a few things). Since 2017 she has co-organized https://ournetworks.ca, a conference about the past, present, and future of building our own network infrastructures!

Our second keynote speaker is ✨ Bruce Waggoner ✨ , Mission Assurance Manager at the Jet Propulsion Lab/Caltech and a member of the Voyager team. The Voyager 1 spacecraft is the human-made object most distant from Earth.

Bruce has worked at JPL for 39 years supporting dozens of Earth orbiting and deep space missions. Bruce’s talk at !!Con will tell the story of how the Voyager 1 flight team created a plan to patch its flight software -- from over 15 billion miles away!

We are incredibly excited about the juxtaposition of these two keynote talks! Dawn's work draws on practices of local-first computing, while the Voyager mission is...well...as non-local as it is possible for computing to be.

Yet, we see a common thread: an emphasis on longevity, sustainability, and doing our best with the resources we’ve got.

We can't wait to hear from Dawn and Bruce at !!Con 2024!

So have you come up with any !!Con ideas yet? Don't reply with them here (since we anonymize carefully through our submission process) but you should TOTALLY submit them! You can submit more than one! Tell your friends, too!!

I am writing this because we are having our biweekly !!Con organizational meeting and I needed a reminder so maybe you do too. Do it! --joshua (who has never used Mastodon before and hopes he has gotten the culture right?)
