I'll be giving two talks at #fosdem2026 !

On Saturday on the main stage I will be giving a talk about developing a Microsoft Bob application, and what we can learn from it today.

On Sunday I'll be talking about the history of MCI mail, the MEP2 protocol, and showing how it all worked at the time using my own reverse engineered server with contemporary email clients.

Come see me yap about #retrocomputing #history and rover the dog.
