The other weekend I had my first experience of Mozilla Festival,
|
|
aka #mozfest.
|
|
|
|
It was pretty awesome.
|
|
|
|
I met quite a few people in real life
|
|
that I've previously only known (/stalked) on Twitter,
|
|
and caught up with others that I haven't seen for a while.
|
|
|
|
I had the honour of co-facilitating a workshop session
|
|
on imposter syndrome and how to deal with it
|
|
with the wonderful Yo Yehudi and Emmy Tsang.
|
|
We all learned a lot
|
|
and hope our participants did too;
|
|
we'll be putting together a summary blog post
|
|
as soon as we can get our act together!
|
|
|
|
I also attended a great session,
|
|
led by [Kiran Oliver](https://twitter.com/kiran_oliver)
|
|
(psst, [they're looking for a new challenge](https://twitter.com/kiran_oliver/status/1191731144997429249)),
|
|
on how to encourage and support a neurodiverse workforce.
|
|
|
|
I was only there for the one day,
|
|
and I *really* wish that I'd taken the plunge
|
|
and committed to the whole weekend.
|
|
There's always next year though!
|
|
To be honest,
|
|
I'm just disappointed that
|
|
I never had the courage to go sooner,
