Things I did this week:

* JAMstack Boston -- seems like static sites are once again gaining
  some popularity. https://www.meetup.com/JAMstack-Boston/ and
  https://www.staticgen.com/ -- People spoke about Hugo, Gatsby and
  Sphinx. Elliot, Billy and I did a lot of work around this during our
  time at Creative Commons, and I'm curious to see how it has progressed.

* Live coding in Glitch -- this is a lot of fun, and it really seems
  like Glitch is a great tool for pair programming. I'm going to try
  and use it a little for writing Orang-U 2/3 -- but yeah, watch this
  livestream recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1mwp1tqmc8

* React continues to have a problematic license. VueJS seems to be a
  good alternative without the problematic license terms. The TL;DR
  here is that Facebook reserves the right to remove your ability to
  use React if engaged in legal battles with them. I'm not a lawyer,
  but that's not how other free software projects handle things, and
  the Apache Software Foundation is right to call them out on this.

What else is going on:

* Help fund a monkey movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/orang-u-2-monkey-business-and-orang-u-3-movies#/

* Be in a monkey movie: https://www.backstage.com/casting/orang-u-2-monkey-business-180150/

Until next time,
