Thanks to tortoisedoc for the helpful suggestions and to everyone who's read, boosted and favourited my posts over the last 235 days! I'll be back with more gecko development real soon!

was crazy-busy again this year. I did manage to battle my way through for some food and coffee though.

The same pathway through the university. In the foreground a placard reads "Not all rods lead to Chrome" (a Firefox advert).

@bogo @edward If it turns out that they are vegan I'll be kicking myself, but I am curious!

Heading back to the UK from #FOSDEM and what an amazing event once again. The #LinuxOnMobile stand was packed for two days continuous and it was wonderful to talk to so may #SailfishOS users, users of other mobile Linux distros and curious explorers!

Thanks to our great stand partners: @mobian @Purism, @postmarketOS, @AsteroidOS, @ubports, #NemoMobile, @mntmn

A photo from closer to the stand, glowing phones across the surface, a laptop and a collection of smartwatches close to the viewer. Around the strand are many people looking at the devices.
four phones on the stand running Sailfish OS, each showing one of the Sailfish OS 4 ambiences: Earth (green), Air (yellow), Fire (red) and Water (blue). Stickers, wires, watches and hands are everywhere.
People around the stand looking intently at a variety of phones. There's not much room to move around because of all the people.

@cyberlyra Maybe next year? Honestly, FOSDEM is great, but the US is a bit far to travel from for it!
