It's been a minute since All Things Open, but the principles of building vibrant open source community remain timeless. Loved the opportunity to speak at #allthingsopen with @jonasrosland.bsky.social and make so many new connections; I look forward to returning!
THE SHOESSSSSS…good arch support is essential for this event especially!
I’m a community builder, in a way still trying to figure out how to speak #HPC. But do you know what’s awesome? The student teams from the cluster competition at #sc24. They spoke with enthusiasm and excitement and I want to be like them when I grow up.
History shows there’s no true neutrality in conflict. You either stand with the oppressed or enable the oppressor. Neutrality isn’t neutral—it sides with power.
Sometimes a tone of kindness is the biggest act of resistance one can offer. It represents a refusal to be pulled into small-minded behavior. kristaburdine.com/a-tone-of-ki... 🏳️⚧️
Hello, have we met? The RESF is a PBC committed to ensuring the longevity, stewardship, and innovation of Open Enterprise software. We host Rocky Linux, is a community-driven Open Enterprise Linux distribution founded in 2020, and welcome other projects seeking a home. We are pleased...
Yes! A lot of what we do doesn't even require coding. Contributing to an open source project can help you learn new skills, develop confidence in existing skills, find a supportive community, and enjoy teamwork on your own terms. 🪨
a woman (me!) standing on the "L" in a series of seven-foot tall letters, in shades of green, that spell out the word "Raleigh."
I've had the best year traveling. From Brussels in January to Argentina in September, with the highlight being All Things Open in Raleigh (like putting my finger on the pulse of open source) every trip has challenged and made me more interesting. Can't wait to see what's next in 2025! #allthingsopen
five tiny macarons on a tiny plate, next to a dish of chocolate covered raisins that looks oversized by comparison.
Have you ever thought about tiny food? Similar to toy Yorkie dogs, or illegally smol kittens, tiny food is miniature versions of normal food that inspires delight. For example, these tiny macarons I found in an airport lounge in Denver earlier this year. #macarons #americanairlines
A mature black cat with green eyes, lounging on one shoulder and leaned against a cat scratching post.
Big Bear was my heart cat, rescued from the wrong home at age four and my everyday companion for six more years until June 2023. There were never going to be enough days with him; I savored every minute but I still can't believe he's gone. There will never be another like Big Bear.

Hello, world! I'm a community builder for an open source project. When speaking publicly, I usually introduce myself by saying I love black cats, tiny food, and travel. Today I'll tell you the stories behind those descriptors. #rockylinux
done is better than perfect.
