Who's done a bathroom reno lately and can share the costs x work done with me in DM so I can estimate how many months I'll be surviving on tostis?

Security Slam 2026 Whether you're a maintainer, active contributor, interested in making contributions, or simply an end user cheering on the projects you depend on, getting up to speed with the Security Slam is a quick process.

We participate in the #SecuritySlam, concluding March 20, just in time for #KubeCon: securityslam.com/slam26/parti...

This is not a traditional hackathon. "The Slam" has 5 key objectives that center around the #OpenSSF Open Source Project Security Baseline: securityslam.com/slam26/

Join us?

People with projectors instead of TV (plus-bonus: projecting on a a wall instead of a screen, in a normal sized house), what projector did you get?

At #FOSDEM PGDay last week, Jonathan Gonzalez and I presented a lightning talk about how the CloudNativePG project has been flooded with #AI contributions lately, as a way of catharsis. Now available in blog-format: dev.to/floord/open-... @fosdempgday.org @sxd.cl @cloudnativepg.bsky.social

Last weekend at #FOSDEM, @josvanschouten.bsky.social and I spoke in the Community Devroom about something most event organizers hope they’ll never need to deal with: what happens if someone breaks the Code of Conduct?

I adjusted the format for blog-consumption: dev.to/floord/what-...

Last weekend I attended @fosdem.org, but because I brought my 11-year old with me, couldn't stick to the murderous schedule I normally have for myself.

Thank #FOSDEM for recordings!

In case you're interested: my watchlist, ordered by devroom. dev.to/floord/my-fo...

We have quite a few team members in Brussels for FOSDEM PGDay and #FOSDEM. Up in half an hour: Bruce Momjian exploring "what's missing in Postgres?", but we were already on stage a bunch (not just to take the group photo)! @fosdempgday.org @fosdem.org

People are going to move on, retire, burn out - @clairegiordano.bsky.social at @fosdem.org - was the answer from the #PostgreSQL committers truly "only if you trained a successor you can leave"? Cause even when tongue in cheek... ☠️ #fosdem

Alya Abbott in "Pull requests maintainers will love to review" talked a bit about AI-generated PRs and how those are not so lovely.

Here are the slides for how @sxd.cl and I as @cloudnativepg.bsky.social people are losing time over AI and bots: www.canva.com/design/DAG_5... (script coming)
