thanks to everyone who joined FennelConf to make it a success! it was so cool to see the wide range of subjects and the enthusiasm everyone brought.
we'll have the videos posted in the next few days.
@globalc Good idea for an album!
Updating #Ubuntu 20.04->20.10beta seems to have gone smoothly so far. The lack of drama nowadays is probably lulling me into a false sense of security.
nVIDIA has demonstrated very low bandwidth video conferencing by sending a keyframe, and then a stream of facial keypoints that allow a GAN to animate that face.

I am pleased I can "attend" #EuroForth over the Internet for the next 3 days... but the 2300JST start time is challenging. I'll obviously have to forgo some of the live Q&A sessions.

_Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs_ (SICP) with Javascript, or as the authors subtitled their talk "Ketchup on Caviar?" https://source-academy.github.io/sicp/
I am enjoying this year's ICFP. The organizing committee have done a good job of putting it together in this new format and the nacent Clowdr platform has been behaving admirably. It is great that each track is repeated 12 hours later for those of us in Asia (and most authors turn up twice for Q&A.) I do miss the serendipitous social interactions. The video chat "social" breakout rooms aren't nearly as effective at random connections. #ICFP2020
I am saddened to learn of the passing of #WikiEducator contributor Keith Lyons. Keith was the author behind the Sport Informatics and Analytics course (which I enjoyed even though it is well out of my areas of expertise). He was a dedicated blogger, OER contributor, and an interesting correspondent. https://keithlyons.me/blog/2020/05/14/vale-keith/
