Iโ€™m going to make it my mission to get to next year! Itโ€™ll require international travel with camping equipment and nerdy toys but Iโ€™m sure a year is long enough to plan ahead.

@andy_warb next is 2026! So you should have time to plan. It is so much fun.

It would be so cool if there was an official mastodontext library so projects don't have to copy that slightly modified twittertext into their source.

@andypiper@macaw.social avatar

@ConnyDuck I saw @evanprodromou mention something similar related to markup recently. It might be a good idea for libraries in this space.

Collecting colors at

I have seen green, but not orange. If you find it, let me know.

Hand with colorful nails on top of a sign. Finger with yellow nail on top of a yellow dot that looks like it was sprayed on the sign.
Hand with colorful nails on top of a wooden pink heart. Pink nail at the border of the heart to make it match. The heart looks like it is melting.

@luca make sure to collect a purple sticker from @zeitschlag ...

Last time I brought a Raspberry Pi to and I couldnโ€™t get it to connect to the site WiFi, ending my project before it had even begun.
I hope to get one step further this time ๐Ÿคž

(And if anyone fancies telling me what I should be putting in wpa_supplicant.conf, please do)
