Yesterday I attended #BarCampLondon for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were many interesting sessions, creating patterns using p5.js, Savannahhq.com looking at the health of online communities and lots more.

I gave a presentation on #OpenSource #Embroidery, looking at @turtlestitch and @inkstitch

Last weekend I attended @oggcamp an #opensource un-conference. The first one since Covid, and the 4th one I have attended.

I gave a presentation on Open Source Embroidery, looking at @turtlestitch and @inkstitch I brought our #WMGoutreach embroidery machine, and several people created their own works of art across the weekend.

Thanks to the crew & sponsors. It was an inspiring and thoughtful experience. Many great talks!
