@cloudfest @schmitzoide @wesleystessens Actually, there are three Codeable Experts leading a project this year. @bikcrveni is co-leading TestAlly. In total, there are 10 projects in the making with about 110 participants hacking for almost three days. hackathon.cloudfest.com #CFHack #CFHack2026 #BuildWithHeart

We are proud to sponsor @CloudFest Hackathon 2026! Two of our Codeable experts are leading projects: WP Agentic Admin (led by @schmitzoide) and SWORD (led by @wesleystessens). Open source, built for the community. Follow along! #CFHack #CFHack2026 #BuildWithHeart

I am back at the @cloudfest Hackathon. As a recurring participant, but also as a rep for @codeablehq as a returning sponsoring partner. There are again remarkable open-source projects in the making, and day 1 is almost wrapping up. hackathon.cloudfest.com #CFHack #CFHack2026

After some fun and exploration days (Disneyland,Paris, gardens of Claude Monet, then Calvados region, Pont the Normandie, Étretat) we made it to our final destination: a nice hotel with a sea view. Shaking off many decades of living in survival mode. #FeelingBlessed #Vacation

Spent my morning cruising with my convertible through Paris and had a lovely spontaneous picnic at the banks of the Seine. Later back at the rented apartment, I enjoyed the calmness of exploring some patterns and colors sitting on the balcony. #ArtistDate #Vacation #SlowLiving

Vacation mode on. Nice weather for a roadtrip through France. Sunburn included with open roof 🙈 First stop: Dropping off my partner at Euro Disney on my way to an artist date with myself. Maybe sipping a coffee near the Seine in Paris. Or where ever my intuition leads me.

@CaroleOlinger Likewise… No #WCUS for me this year on purpose. #JOMO with working on my first children’s picture book and exiting stuff to implement at work. Besides that: Looking forward to the road trip with my partner in less than two weeks through the normandy 🇫🇷🥖🤩

Friends and family are heading to Portland for #WCUS and the #FOMO was real earlier today. Time to practice what I preach: #JOMO instead of FOMO! ✨ Instead of being cramped on a plane right now, I get to enjoy this with #BuffyTheDog👇🏻

@Steve_NHS Thank you all for an amazing event. Kudos to the well placed seating areas. It made my attendance very pleasant and less energy draining 👍

Our annual organiser brunch is awesome - it's an opportunity where we can relax, drink coffee and catchup before heading home. #WCEU

Bye bye #WCEU 👋

Good morning, Basel 👋 Here for the #WCEU Had already a wonderful first day hanging out with part of our @codeablehq experts with good food, deep conversations, fun karaoke and a lovely view. See you around at Contributor Day #WCEU2025 #BuildWithHeart

@BobWP Happy anniversary 🍸

Today Judy and I celebrate 42 years of marriage. I am spending the day frantically getting ready for #WCEU followed by a relaxing dinner to end the day. And Judy is cool with that. Chester doesn't care. Sunday will be a time to relax and celebrate 🎉

Thanks for those checking-in on me. I am doing fine. 🥰 Enjoying IRL - including newborn snuggles with my 3rd grandchild! Plus a full-time job as Head of SupportOps at @codeablehq. Blessed with an amazing team to lead and trust from C-Level & colleagues. 🤩 #BuildWithHeart

@courtneyr_dev Enjoying a pitcher of Frozen Strawberry Margaritas with my love after a no screen wellness and spa day 🥰

Bye bye London 👋 it was a pleasure as always. I have enjoyed my first non-business related international travel after 7 years 🙈🤩

Guess… Where am I?
