[OpenMetadata @open_metadata]

📆 One week to go: the OpenMetadata Monthly Meetup is next Wednesday, November 18!

This month, the community shows how they build open lakehouses, keep their data platforms simple to run, and trace data issues from the first alert to the fix.

🎤 On the agenda:
• Alexis Metwalli (OpenLakeForge): Beyond the Catalog: Building an Open Lakehouse with OpenMetadata
• Mayur: Metrics, Definitions & Hierarchies
• Teddy: Lineage, Data Quality & Alerts
• @d3fmacro : Context, Community Connectors & Audit Hub

The demos are live and use real community examples of metric discovery, lineage, data quality, and AI-ready context.
📅 Wednesday, November 18, 2026
🕘 9:00–10:00 AM PT

@MatthewBerman I would love to. I doubt a ton of video editing

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@KatTimpf It's funny how you think you're smart because you memorized a few data points and then try to string them together like Kamala Harris. At the same time you keep insulting the guy who helped you

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

Stay frosty my friends.

@ScottPresler at least as depressed as the loss last week.

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@ChefGruel I'm sure you've seen all the inside baseball around here, but it's all about just keeping their own little feifdoms and money trains going. it's all money laundering.

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@coltmcnealy Nope. Just like accepting a mortal explanation of the nature of an infinite being is not required.

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@saltyprotestant You are literally lying about everything. When you are thoroughly ignorant, it makes it hard to lie. Why do you think that it is God telling you to lie?

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@matsonj I made a video of making it 7 years ago, if you want to see how it just falls apart, skip to the end. https://t.co/mtwZEbgO07

@lporiginalg Another smooth brain evangelical.

@HDMcCoy21 @Chocolate_Knox you say that because you don't actually know anything yourself, you just know the 5th hand, regurgitated talking points that have been disproved a million times.

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@SteveAWilliamsX @CAGOP @GOPLosAngeles @OCGOP It's a good old boy money laundering network. They only care about little ponds of power and pocket lining, and I say that as a lifelong conservative

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@Shannonagain2 If that were true, then it is shocking what an ignorant bigot you still are.

I've been having fun finishing up some old song ideas and then trying different animation styles for music videos . This is my latest

@BradRTorgersen @RobProvince None of the music made in the last twenty years will be remembered

@JeffClarkUS @barnes_law @DataRepublican Barnes is an idiot. He exposed himself months ago.

@the_traitors_ I wish Alan would stop dressing and acting like a glamorous woman, it's really off putting. Victor is the only interesting player, everyone else is just playing defense, and the cliff hangers are super annoying.

[Shawn Gordon @ProgRockRec]

@GrandpaJoeSux those are myopic, one issue voters. I've got some in my Ward. They literally put on blinders and just focus on the one or two things and ignore the platform.
