Last week I attended FrOSCon[https://froscon.org], a yearly conference about Free and Open-Source software, organized by the computer science department of the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg.
I had the honor to do two sessions. This time I did them in German, both are recorded by the marvelous c3voc .
This was my forth FroSCon, and it was like coming home. It began with a nice dinner with some new and old friends on the day before the event. The first conference day I had the first slot after the opening session and I felt somehow nervous. But with a very kind introduction by Henning Rohde (Thanks Henning, for the pictures of me during the talk!), it got better, and I started showing my workflow with dot files and package installation.

My second session about alternatives to table calculation software started with a thread on Mastodon . There I asked for links and stories about how people use Excel or Google sheets for way more than it was intended to be used.
I got that many responses and links, I couldn’t add all of these, but it is a great read. Thanks for all comments in Mastodon and mail.

During the talk, Sujeevan made this photo. The talk was in HS1/2, the biggest room of the conference. Having a session there is always a bit special.

There were many more talks and I met with other speakers and attendees during the two days. The overall mood was great and we had insightful discussions.
I can recommend attending FrOSCon to anybody who is interested in Free and Open-Source software! Maybe we see each other there next year.
