Together with Ines Montani, Richard Campbell, Calvin Hendryx-Parker and host Michael Kennedy we did a blind deep dive into the recent Stack Overflow Developer survey results and discussed the rising and falling trends in the Python and broader development space. I shared my concerns about the energy use and hype of AI and forcing AI into every tool and thus also into the hands of people who might not know how to use these tools responsibly, leading to additional issues for maintainers.

OctoPrint's 1.11.0 release, the final one to support Python 3.7 and 3.8, coming with three new bundled plugins and a ton of other new features and bug fixes.

Together with other OSS maintainers I was interviewed about Maintenance & Burnout for a podcast episode of a german public-service radio and tv broadcaster. The goal of the podcast episode was to explain the concept of Open Source maintenance and the risks of having so much on the shoulders of such a small group of people in layman's terms.

I gave my talk about the good, bad and ugly parts of being an Open Source Maintainer at the local Women in Tech meetup.

As part of the Focus on Linux advent calendar 2024, together with Tanja Roth I talked about documentation, technical writing and tooling to support both.

As a guest on the SustainOSS podcast I had the chance to talk about OctoPrint's project governance, combating burn-out, keeping the community healthy and the constant struggle between a hate of self-promotion a need of funding.

A short but in my humble opinion extremely important blog post on why it is important to take some time off to rest, especially for Open Source maintainers, and especially in our current hustle culture.

My buddy romses and I were invited to speak on a local live radio show about our "Datenzwerg" environmental sensor project. The show went over the airwaves live on June 13th at UKW 103.4 MHz in the southern parts of Hessen, Germany, and via an internet live stream. It was my first time on radio 😊
