@evilpies @freddyb @_cberger_ @BVG_Kampagne I have a bad feeling about this...

@codehag @freddyb @_cberger_ @BVG_Kampagne A significantly more expensive "9-Euro ticket" is supposed to be ready at beginning of 2023 though.

We're happy to announce Yulia Startsev (@codehag) as our keynote speaker for #BOBkonf2023!

@miketaylr @marcosc I am so jealous.

@_shu That is 100% fair. I would probably do that too.

@_shu It's a Canadian subspecies. Have you seen our pizza? Best pizza.

@_shu Best bagel.

@tabatkins @zkat__ I point out in my write up that it misses aspects of the core proposal. My goal isn't to replace the current pattern matching proposal but to work with it.

@zkat__ @codehag It commits some vital mistakes we ran into and fixed in the core proposal, but those are fixable. Gonna be writing up a proposal to pull in let-when to the core proposal from this idea, tho.

@_shu we had a similar question!

Will start* using, there is still a process we follow :) it gets reapproved each year.

ECMAScript, from 2022 on, will be using a new alternative license. This new license is based on the W3C Document and Software license. So, what has changed, and why is this important?

Ecma International recently approved the 2022 standard of ECMAScript. But there is something new in this edition that hasn't been part of prior editions, and this isn't a new programming feature. 🧵 hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/the-sp…

As part of our work to ensure a free and open web, we've been working with @EcmaIntl and many partners to write a #JavaScript specification license inspired by the @w3c Document and Software License. Fantastic work by @codehag and many others! 🎉🎉 hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/the-sp…

If anyone is interested, and would like to know the process or what their project can gain from going through a standards process, I am happy to answer and put you in touch with the right people! I think this was a great day for the open web, and open tech in general.

...Standards work more broadly. Ecma is now a home where projects can license according to their needs. This is a more light weight process and it makes me hopeful for what we can do in the future.
