🤚 Oh hey, that's me. I also threw my hat into the ring for the PSF Board, along with many other wonderful folks. 💚💛

This is such great news 🎉

[Kalob Taulien @KalobTaulien]

I'm officially writing a book about an open source content management system called Wagtail (@WagtailCMS) with @ManningBooks 🎉 Due in November 2022.

[Wagtail @WagtailCMS]

Wagtail Space is on 24th & 25th March, with talks, training, & optional sprint on the 26th.

As always, we want this to be an inclusive experience, for developers, designers, writers, testers, & anyone curious about Wagtail!

✨We really wanted to have a way for folks to be a part of "hallway track" discussions (but in virtual form) in addition to the amazing talks every year so we've got some live panels with Core Devs, Podcasters, Book Authors, LED Art project demos & more. Also Q&A's. Join us ✨

That moment when you're ready to get comfy in bed with the book you've been enjoying only to realize you finished it yesterday 😔

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@mariatta Right 🤦‍♀️
Does time even exist anymore??

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@dabeaz @KatiMichel @judy2k @DjangoConEurope I almost blacked out in a class presentation once, but now I feel great in front of a small group. I assume some of the stage fright goes away eventually in front of a large crowd too? Probably takes a while 😃

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@judy2k Watching your talk at @DjangoConEurope on "How to Get on This Stage"👏, I had the same idea of learning how to write better proposals: volunteer as a talk reviewer. I learnt so much reading so many proposals, it was very valuable. Still haven't given a talk though 😂

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@KatiMichel @judy2k @DjangoConEurope I'm so comfy speaking to a meetup audience. That jump from meetup to conference size is pretty scary though.

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@judy2k @DjangoConEurope I do have a talk topic though 😀I've been thinking about it for a long long long time, just need to make that first step in doing something about it.

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@judy2k @DjangoConEurope Step 1: Stop volunteering in the program committee at my favourite conferences so I can actually submit a talk to them 🤣 That's the thing with getting involved with conferences, you have such an amazing time that you don't want to stop.

web development in Canada isn't too much different from the US

we just use "visibleEh" instead of "isVisible" and instead of state it's province management

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@SeanFeehanYeg @onlinetraining Big news for sure, wishing you all the best in your new tech adventure.

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

Kiddo kept responding "ok" to all the text messages I sent. I asked him if he was a robot. This is his response:
"Times have changed mother. You must adopt to the new styles." 🤣

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@hjwp @treyhunner @wsv3000 @carltongibson That's a good start, call it what you want, https://t.co/2werbsRyvM https://t.co/TccQqhXrI5 https://t.co/jAlZnM2KeJ, but when you have a series of things that need to happen before/after Django does it's thing - it's good to have code in a place you can call from anywhere.

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@realthecaffiend Nope. More warmth and 🌞 please. Tea I'll take in any weather.

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@transitionswpz @mariatta @jduims @elthenerd Nope, not that I know of.

[Ashia 🐞 @ashiazed]

@nedbat I've seen the use of "core skills" as a replacement.
