Get on it friends! @kiwipycon.nz is the most delightful conference I’ve been to… ever?! A genuinely wonderful community! Aussies you can still grab flights for Friday night and be back in time for the week after too! ✈️ 👕

Last meetup if the year - @sydtechleaders.bsky.social lightening talks tonight ⚡️Thanks atlassian for hosting along with food and drinks 🥂

It's *REALLY IMPORTANT* that you show this to your comms teams, marketing teams and leadership teams, because many of them are still using Twitter. The only way to stop it progressing further (and with that stupid pet Nazi robot) is to ditch it. Starve it of oxygen. People / orgs need to leave it.

“Do you promise?!”

I wrote a post going behind the scenes on selecting our city, venue and dates for @pyconau.bsky.social 2026. It's the first in what I hope will be a series of more informal, long form essays sharing how we think about certain problems, tasks and challenges. 2026.pycon.org.au/posts/behind... #pyconau

SydTechLeaders and mental health - October is Mental Health Month (https://wayahead.org.au/mentalhealthmonth/) in NSW, and as tradition, Sydney Tech Leaders (https://luma.com/sydtechleaders?period=past) dedicated their most recent meetup to talking about ... https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/87560

Our first speaker is Saliya Kutungu-Moran talking about leading with kindness and creating space for mental health conversations. She’s an RUOK ambassador with lots of experience in tech, and we’re so glad she’s here. #sydtechleaders

Our second speaker for the night is Navin Keswani talking about burnout - a topic really important to most of us in the room. The pandemic hit many in tech hard. #sydtechleaders
