Very exited to see that my talk, "I inherited this project, and all I got was all these angry users" from #StateOfOpenCon is now live - thanks for the super speedy publishing, OpenUK!

I was honoured to kick off the Open Source Software & Security Track with a keynote about my experiences being an Open Source maintainer, and digging into the factors that make maintaining oapi-codegen difficult, and on top of that my own personal experiences which lead to difficulties in maintaining Open Source, especially when it's used actively by companies.

There were some great discussions about the maintainer burnout problem over the conference, and I had some great chats with folks in the "hallway track".

I'll be finishing my write-up of the conference in the next week (🤞🏼) but am very excited to see the talks are already up on YouTube, so I can catch up on talks I missed, too

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be speaking at #StateOfOpenCon in February!

I'll be giving a new talk, I inherited this project, and all I got was all these angry users, in particular talking about my experience with maintaining oapi-codegen and some insights into what it's like on the other side of the "why won't you merge this PR" and countless "any update??" comments 😅

I'd also like to say a bit thanks to @openuk for the honour of kicking off the day at the Software and Security track 🤓

Hope to see some of you there - tickets are now available!

Well, I'm home after a great couple of days at #StateOfOpenCon #SOOCon24, which has given me lots to think about. There were some great talks, some really interesting hallway track conversations, and nice to meet friends old and new.

First of all a huge thank you to the organisers - there were so many of you behind the scenes doing such great work to make the event a massive success. I've seen the effort that it can take to do a single track conference let alone 8 tracks(!!!) so it's a huge result, and I hope y'all are gonna have some well deserved rest!

I'd like to say in particular a bit thank you for the work that @andypiper has been doing in the lead up to the conference to support the speakers, being warm, super helpful and supportive, as well as seeing them busy over the conference helping ensure everything was going well

And a big thanks to @AmandaBrock for all her excellent work with OpenUK and State of Open Con 🙌

I'll definitely be making my way back next year 👀 And I'll be (re)watching talks as they pop up!
