Ubuntu Summit 25.10 going online-only is a regression. Canonical still flies staff worldwide twice a year, but volunteers who build Ubuntu get sidelined with a livestream. Bring back in-person Summits. #Ubuntu #UbuntuSummit #FOSS ericheickmeyer.com/2025/10/09/why…

We have had a top panel layout for the past 13+ years. Is it time to change? We're considering it for 26.04 LTS. Let us know. A poll is active on Ubuntu Discourse. See more details at ubuntustudio.org/2025/12/coming…

@BadGamerBritt That's why they're called hard decisions.

Hard decisions are hard.

@eickmeyer I’m a liability 🫠

someone get me tf off this dating app bc I cant be even a little bit serious 😩🫠😂🤷🏻‍♀️

#UbuntuSummit was where community contributors were seen, valued, and celebrated. Moving 25.10 online-only erases that recognition. I won’t attend or speak because our work deserves more than a livestream. It's a regression at the community level. ericheickmeyer.com/2025/10/09/why…

@Romactu04 Message the moderators then. 🤷

@eickmeyer Sorry, a discourse page was closed, so not putting to a page.

@xgigglypuff I absolutely love how you troll the entirety of X completely destroying the perception people have of what a software engineer should look like. Somehow, they think software engineers can't be pretty girls. Such a preconceived notion. I'm proud of you.

i’m a software engineer :)

@eickmeyer discourse.ubuntu.com/t/steam-flatpa… Hello Erich, I noticed you have claimed this. Valve themselves publish the Steam flatpak. Please contact Valve for support. Please note that claim was untrue, because Valve did not published a flatpak version, it was a communities that done it.
