See y'all soon
I'm always astounded by *how did we catch it before they did?*
Hello.
I just had the most delightful experience trying to explain Groundhog day to my Brazilian co-workers.
"Oh! And i forgot about the tophats - yes the rodent is clairvoyant"

It's pretty slick to use.
Friendly reminder that there's still time to fill in the survey! Anyone can, no need to be a seasoned Gleam developer!
Introducing Tele* - my country for an edit button
The most haphazard group selfie that was Macgyvered using a chair
Fantastic turn out for DC Elixir's "Introducing to Tele" - y'all showed up despite a foot of ice and slush outside!
Stay tuned - next month's event is a social.
As always, no matter your BEAM background or experience level you're welcome with us!

"I have to make the chicken happy"
Tell me a phrase your engineering team uses that would sound strange to anyone else.
("chicken" - noisy alert, as if the sky is falling)

If you're not using Chumbawamba's Tubthumping to explain Elixir Supervision Trees - you're doing it wrong.
(for you youth: *I get knocked down, but I get up again - you're never going to keep me down*)

Seeking Sustainable Sponsorship
Hi Elixir friends,
After 3 years on Hologram full-time (transpiles Elixir to the browser), I'm at a crossroads.
60+ hr weeks balancing contracts & dev isn't sustainable.
Where we are & how you can help: hologram.page/blog/seeking...
Even sharing helps 💜

📣 DC area Elixir, Erlang and Gleam friends
Our end-of-the-year DC Elixir Social is happening at BabyCat Brewery in Bethesda!
Whether you’re deep into BEAM or just curious, come nerd out with us.
📅 Wednesday, December 10th 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
#elixir #erlang #gleam #beam #dmv
The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation CNA now publishes vulnerability data directly to OSV.dev. No more relying solely on CVE→OSV conversion.
This update means faster, cleaner, and higher-quality security data for the BEAM ecosystem — including Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, and Hex.pm.
Vintage Christmas lights hung with care
It's a Christmas light kind of night for me
Elixir → JavaScript Porting Initiative
Hey Elixir friends! :)
We need help completing Elixir's browser runtime by porting some Erlang functions to JavaScript.
No Erlang knowledge required. Each function unlocks multiple Elixir stdlib functions!

Happy GitHub is down, to all who celebrate
The opensource FFmpeg project, used by companies like Google for multimedia processing, urged Google to fund its volunteer developers. FFmpeg is overwhelmed by bugs reported by Google's AI security tools and lacks resources to fix them quickly. thenewstack.io/ffmpeg-to-go...
Who do you know who wants to come work full time on #ElixirLang OSS tooling? (Boosts appreciated!)

Sadly no, we just launched these meetups last month - so we don't have the infrastructure or manpower just yet.
📣 DC folks: Come join us for the next meetup!
Elixir, LSP, Expert - all from our own Cameron Duley.

My best friend, Jazz, passed away in her sleep this morning surrounded by me and her son, AJ.
She started life as a show dog, then came into my life and I couldn't have asked for a better friend.
