Lettering "Recordings" on the branded background.
I’ll be sharing recordings of last year’s talks while also announcing this year’s speakers.
Visibility for us, knowledge for everyone :)
Help out with likes and reposts, but most importantly — with views.

This year we’re going big — two conferences instead of one.
That also means we need more support. Give us a hand: make a repost, tell your community, pitch to employer — anything helps, and we’ll make it worth it.

My passport photo ended up as a tribute to Mr. Bean. Now I look almost exactly like him there.
We truly believe there’s so much untapped value when communities and businesses collaborate — from brand awareness and developer-facing product promotion to team education and reputation-building.
Let’s talk.

We’d especially love to hear from local companies and agencies who may be only starting to explore ways to show up.
We’re here to help you take that step — and we’d love to understand what kind of support you might need from us.

Bart Simpson is writing on a chalkboard: ‘Typesense should not suffer because of my short memory.’
I owe @typesense. But great products shouldn’t suffer from my short memory :)
Here's why they are so cool: shorturl.at/Pgbkt
Or maybe because it’s open source: shorturl.at/RNdGs
Or because they’re Top-3 Ruby community supporter: shorturl.at/crKWf
