The #EverythingOpen crew are putting the videos up from the 2024 conference, including mine on the Quirkey keyboard https://youtu.be/Oo6YyzAqJ4I
There have only been minor tweaks to the case since then, though there's a few updates to the left-hand docs and typing tutor coming soon.
I had the opportunity to re-run my `What happened in production!?` presentation from @everythingopen this week and got the recording for anyone who might've missed it at #eo2025 #EverythingOpen
I keep thinking about @everythingopen.
It was a conference where I met wise elders of tech both hardware and software, and new entrants into the field, but also guardians of knowledge (librarians, museum peeps), rebels and rabble rousers, creative artists (paper, yarn, paint, pixel, words), politicians, data scientists. People looking and building things smaller by orders of magnitude than a human hair, people looking out into the vast distance of space.
I met dreamers and thinkers and everywhere there was the atmosphere of collaboration, community, and a desire for us to sustainably look after each other, our shared knowledge, and the planet we are lucky enough to exist on.
And it seems so much more than where it started: as a conference for technologists.
got my Quirkey chording keyboard built and working! Now to learn how to type on it, hopefully before my hands get too bad for using a normal keyboard!
Thanks to the Everything Open conference for introducing me to it :)

Ideas from #EverythingOpen: Complementary Flexure Table. I had a thought at the conference after doing my presentation, and turned a conventional flat 2D precision motion table into a "popped up" version that doesn't sag. Appears to function at first glance, and looks like cubic art.
The whole week in Adelaide at #EverythingOpen I've been telling people to find the Gargan Death Carrot.

I feel like this might be relevant to the interests of some of my #EverythingOpen peeps^… 
“Twelve Dudes and a Hype Tunnel: Scenes from the ‘Super Bowl for #Excel Nerds’”
Side note: It’s fascinating to me how (some)† nerds / geeks recapitulate the structures of hierarchy, dominance, & status from which they were often‡ excluded when younger. The reasons that this happens are left as an exercise for the reader.

Re-related to my previous previous post, here's the slides for my own #EverythingOpen talk this year:

Now that I am stocked up on sleep and more or less have a social-able brain again — this year’s #EverythingOpen was great! Thanks to the organisers and volunteers that made it all happen :D
Some thoughts about some of the talks I saw:
(1/18)
I don't have Conf Flu - I tested - but I am so exhausted. Heat + much Peopling + not used to Peopling anymore = shock to system
Time to head to the airport and home to Melbourne. It's been a fun trip to Radelaide and #EverythingOpen
And that’s the wrap for Everything Open 2025!

Ending with a flash, @everythingopen finished up with a quick round of lightning talks. Check out my summary takeaways: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7287740653399158784-0MJN?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios
It was good to be at a bigger Australian tech conference again. A good distraction. I have missed it. I last went to LCA 2017 and OSDC 2015 (Both Hobart). This feels like a much broader scope of talks, and even the less technical talks I enjoyed a lot and were quite relevant. But I still enjoy a good tech talk. Open libraries, communities, standards, hardware and software and Linux.
Lots of things to take back to @hobarthackerspace and co.
I did miss talks about open source games and game engines. But I immerse myself in that anyway.
All going well my main job might pay for the ticket again..
I'll be in Adelaide/Tarntanya for 2 more days to check stuff out including the Adelaide Makerspace.
Thanks to the volunteers, I hope there is another, I might be there.
A HUGE thank you to all the organisers and volunteers of @everythingopen - a wonderful conference made possible by your efforts
