Another #FOSDEM is wrapped, Year 2 as staff and clearly went better than the first year. (across the whole team tbf, massive difference, good vibes all around)
Last year I honestly was so stressed sometimes for various reasons that I just froze at times. That essentially didn't happen this time!
I was able to identify about 200+ things (some small things tbf) that we can improve for next year.

These flags would be so useful in daily life when you're having one of those days and want to let people know.

'I am dragging my anchor.' 'I require a tug.' 'Stop carrying out your intentions.'

And my personal favourite 🚩: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'

#Wikipedia just turned 25. Built by volunteers who believed strangers could collaborate to create something remarkable. But the same openness that made it revolutionary might now be trapping it in the past.

The FAA urged aircraft operators to ensure they have enough fuel in case they are put in a holding pattern due to a rocket explosion.

We found that several planes ran low on fuel after the Jan. 2025 Starship incident. At least one declared a mayday and crossed the no-fly zone to reach an airport.
