I asked Steve (@docbaty) at the after-party last night if he thought my opening keynote at @UXAustralia would lose him sponsors next year. His response brought tears to my eyes. Be like Steve.

“So if people heard the message that you said, Aral, in your keynote and their response was ‘well I want nothing to do with that conference’, well in all honesty, fuck ‘em.” – @docbaty

#SmallTechnology

Met such wonderful people and had such a lovely time at #UXAustralia – couldn’t have asked for a better event to launch Small Technology Foundation at (https://small-tech.org).

Thank you all for being so awesome and thank you, Deb, for your beautiful sketch-notes from my talk :)

@adz Thanks, Adam. Probably won't have time for it this time around but will keep it in mind :)

So I woke up in Sydney this morning to see a stream of lovely supportive messages, helpful suggestions, reports of typos, broken links, etc. (all fixed now), and 11 patrons and €144/month in patronage on our first day for Small Technology Foundation (https://small-tech.org) to support our work on Site.js (https://sitejs.org), Better (https://better.fyi), and Tincan (https://small-tech.org/research-and-development)

I just wanted to say thank you. I’m quite moved and feeling reinvigorated by your support.

@adamprocter OK, it should work now :)

@adamprocter Ah, I see what the problem is, I’d assumed that making a group public would set the projects in it public also but alas that is not the case. Give me a sec… :)

@adamprocter Thanks – fixed :)

@jamesmullarkey No reason why not :) Although perhaps Tincan would be a better fit in the future. But yeah, part of the fun is seeing what it enables. There will hopefully be things I haven’t even thought of :)

@inhji Hey, that’s awesome to hear. We use Hugo for a number of things so expect even more seamless support in the future ;)

Regarding issues: Enabling Github mirrors is on my near-term todo list. Once that’s done, that’ll be the best place to report. I really want to create a bare-bones single-tenant Git server with decentralised merge requests but it will take me a little time to get to that :)

In the meanwhile, please feel free to ping me here and I’ll create issues :)

@hansup @aral Thanks, Hans. Better was created to do the right thing ;)

@adamprocter @laura Done! https://small-tech.org/about/

Thanks again for the excellent feedback, Adam :)

@adamprocter @laura Thanks, Adam. Agree completely and we’ve actually consciously been making an effort to do this. Tracking it here: https://source.ind.ie/small-tech.org/site/issues/73

@Jelv Thank you – should be fixed on all the pages :)

@stragu Thank you so much :)

@ekaitz_zarraga :)

@ekaitz_zarraga Yeah, tell me about it. It’s our greatest expense by far.

@adamprocter @laura Thanks, Adam, appreciate the heads up. Should be fixed now :)

@desikn Thank you, appreciate the heads up – fixed :) https://ar.al/2019/08/26/introducing-small-technology-foundation/

@agoodabad @thinkMoult And I’m speaking at UX Australia tomorrow :)

@gvenk Thank you :) <3
