@bagder giving it to yourself?馃 Heard that's what some presidents do馃槑
@bagder is the 2026 award for mostly-2025 excellence or were we supposed to get all of the excellence into the first couple weeks?
@bagder where鈥檚 Linus? 馃え
@bagder It鈥榮 your wife, right?馃檭
@aris haha, well I don't think I'm spoiling this too much by saying that I'm not tonight's laureate
@bagder is that a responsibility of last year's awardee, or did they pick you for funsies?
@miketheman in this case I am both the president of EOSA as well as last year's awardee, but I think the idea is that I do this in my role as president.
I presume that if I'm not messing things up too badly I might get to do it again next year... 馃榿
@bagder I think you might secretly enjoy wearing a suit 馃榿
Makes sense to have a president present recognition awards for good things!
@miketheman there is a certain James Bond style attraction to this...
@bagder I'm indeed curious, I learnt about the event last week and was tempted to somehow attend, but unfortunately, I have no formal attire with me, only OSS formal (doc martens, plain clothes and laptop with silly colours and stickers).
@kayla I bring my suit to Brussels solely for this purpose! After all, I got this suit in the first place getting an award for my Open Source so I feel good getting to use it more to further shine the light on excellent Open Source people!
@freeman2501 oh... I didn't think about that, but that is a good idea!
