I keep finding folks at #lca2018 wearing @yow_conf shirts. 😜 @hackuador @nickzoic https://t.co/pp56WfEE4j


@maetl @gergnz @linuxconfau That’s how you know it’s Art. 😛


@sauramaia The exhibition was on at lunch time, so it’s finished. 😕


@sauramaia But the miniconf is tomorrow at Guthrie Theatre, building 6!


@The_McJones I could do a lightning talk about the Scratch game I made recently as part of CS50. 😂 My first game since school! https://t.co/thfyZf8rCB


A good speaker knows that including a 🐶 photo is a great way to get a positive response from the audience! 👏 @IngaPflaumer #lca2018 https://t.co/cZay7BO3CO


Always a pleasure to hear from @desplesda talking about games! If you want to hear more, he did a great talk at @yow_conf 2016 about game design: https://t.co/GDLWzNSTR2 #lca2018 https://t.co/xBMa6wrL9U


@IngaPflaumer That’s beautiful!


As someone who isn’t all the way through @NightInTheWoods yet, it was much appreciated. 😉 @desplesda #lca2018 https://t.co/gtaCPTa9P1

@betsybookworm @Ducky_Tape @adambrenecki @FCTweedie @sauramaia A lunch break is going to work best for me!

@chriswithpants 🚗💨


Can I use #art+tech for the hashtag tomorrow? I wonder…


…evidently not.


@Xavier_Ho I’m leaning towards #artandtech. 🤔


Slides and notes all ready for #artandtech miniconf tomorrow! I can’t wait for you to hear from all the amazing speakers! See you in Building 6… #lca2018 🖼❤️💻 https://t.co/Orlh1KpL0e


@stibbons You’re not on until the afternoon. Plenty of time! 😂


@kmett @KenScambler Me last week to @dibblego: “So. A monad is just a functor that has bind? That’s literally all I need to know right now?” I had been so freaked out it was anticlimactic.


@unixbigot I’m going with #artandtech. Simple!


@xrobau @unixbigot I only started adding it to tweets in the last few days, just as a fun attention-grabber. I’ve tried to make sure I also use the name for context. #artandtech #lca2018


@EricaLehmann @KathyReid I think @KathyReid knows the Wool Museum folks – I remember her mentioning last year about playing with the Jacquard loom!


RT @KathyReid: @s_palm This fills me with immense joy. #artandtech peeps at #lca2018, check this awesome work by @s_palm out!
