It was so great to chat with @kellyann.bsky.social about @githubeducation.bsky.social and how we support the AMAZING next generation of developers. I feel so lucky to do what I do! As a bonus, I got to share how I used @github.com Spark to prototype Upload2USB for @internet-in-a-box.bsky.social. ❤️
You are so good at it! Thanks for all the things you make! <3

Oaxacoders brought Ruben Rodriguez Perez to speak about free software, digital sovereignty, and his journey from fsf.org, to building Trisquel, to @archive.org. It was inspiring to be in a room with passionate coders and community organizers chatting about tech, information sharing, and privacy.

Even better is that we took a @raspberrypi.com
