The venerable @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz at FOSDEM!!!

"If you don't like AI generated pictures of ActivtyPugs, the java dev room moved to UA 118"

@julian @johnonolan Love the ActivityPugs

@julian @johnonolan What does that mean?

@Gargron @julian @johnonolan You had to be there.

@evan @julian @johnonolan It sounds like I had to be in the Java dev room

@Gargron @evan @julian @johnonolan well, I think I'd also go to the Java dev room

@Gargron @julian @johnonolan LOL. I'm sure it was great!

@Gargron @julian @johnonolan Ghost uses AI generated images of pugs (dog race) for their activitypub newsletter (@index). I guess they just switched rooms with the java dev room at FOSDEM?

@sturmsucht@mastodon.social you got it

@Gargron @julian @johnonolan did you have a good FOSDEM? It was great to meet you.

@evan @Gargron @julian @johnonolan darn I can't believe I missed this moment of history!

@julian @johnonolan ActivityPugs are great

@andypiper @Gargron @julian @johnonolan uhhhh... Did we do a selfie together, or were we too busy to remember to do it? I don't think I have one.

@evan @Gargron @julian @johnonolan I remember a lot of people taking photos of a group of us at the end of the devroom and I’ve only seen one or two of them posted… but no, you and I have no photographic proof of the teamwork - it was pretty busy. Good problem to have!

@andypiper @Gargron @julian @johnonolan I've got like 80 of them on my phone. I am having some analysis paralysis in picking the "best" one. Here's a random one for proof.

@andypiper @Gargron @julian @johnonolan I can't tell if @casey being blocked in this photo is hilarious or tragic

@evan @andypiper @Gargron @julian @johnonolan not a big fan of being in photos anyway so I’m fine with it

@evan@cosocial.ca you'll just have to take a few photos and have AI stitch together a picture where we all look good.

Oh, wait, that might get us fedi-cancelled

@evan@cosocial.ca might I suggest this picture be saved for posterity (I selfishly ask, because I'm in it)?

The pic of the other federated social web meetup from way back, that @liaizon@social.wake.st said seemed like the spiritual precursor to this year's FOSDEM, was so cool!

Wild to see, I wondered if someone could do a "where are they now" thing
