Today is midsummer eve. In Sweden, this is probably slightly larger than Christmas. Everyone goes someplace to meet someone and enjoy a day of food, dance and entertainment. And you’re supposed to have flowers on your head as shown below! This year, midsummer is on June 21, which marks four months from the first foss-north […]
So, foss-north 2019 happened. 260 visitors. 33 speakers. Four days of madness. During my opening of the second day I mentioned some social media statistics. Only 7 of our speakers had mastodon accounts, but 30 had twitter accounts.

We gathered ten speakers and started something that continues to this day. Back then we, the three organizers: Jeremiah, […]

Editing videos for foss-gbg and foss-north has turned into something that I do on almost a montly basis. I’ve tried a few workflows, but landed in using kdenlive and, when needed, Audacity.
