Good morning Fedi friends!
Rehearsing my #BerlinFediDay presentation this morning to make sure I can do it in 12 minutes tops…. Because I have a little surprise at the end, so I can’t use my full 15 minutes 😉
A tale of 2 rehearsals: back in May, when I was getting ready to present at #JDLL in Lyon I had to rehearse in the back of the car next to my 4-year-old… who was listening to children’s stories in French over the car system. For 4 hours. It was a marathon rehearsal for me, a real test of concentration.
I thought: easy for this one - I’m traveling alone in the plane, I’ve got a 90 minutes flight… so I can practice my speech in peace. Well, think again. My two French seatmates spent the entirety of the flight loudly discussing playing music gigs and their experiences with various drugs 😵💫
Which scenario did I prefer for prepping my speech? Neither one… thankfully I’ve got 2 hours in my hotel room now 😅
I look forward to meeting Fedi friends and followers later today and I hope I will do a good enough job conveying my love for the Fediverse.
And I can’t wait to listen to the presentations by @andypiper

Bis später! ❤️🇩🇪
