✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-08-09
Week in review with my upcoming events, my SXSW panel submission, and my re-launch on fudge.org.

🙏 And a big thanks to all our sponsors! 🙏

Looking back at the week with an eye to the future.
As a reminder, I’ve committed to four events for the remainder of this year. I’ve also submitted a final version of a panel to PanelPicker for SXSW 2025 voting but I won’t be speaking on a panel but might submit a solo talk — maybe.
AI Field Day 5 in Silicon Valley September 11-12, 2024 for Tech Field Day
Monktoberfest in Portland October 2-4, 2024
Cloud Field Day 21 in Silicon Valley October 23-24, 2024 for Tech Field Day
All Things Open in Raleigh October 27-29, 2024 for CLS
SXSW in Austin March 7 - 15, 2025
Speaking of SXSW, I’m organizing an awesome panel with amazing speakers on an amazing topic. I’d appreciate you voting (registering to vote is free) for this panel.
