For more than a decades I was a meetup organizer.

For more than a decades I was a meet-up organizer

My biggest meet-ups were machine learning / AI / data science related meet-ups.

I also organized some smaller science meet-ups, too

When my wife got pregnant with our first child, I stopped organizing. Being a parent took priority.

My kids aren't babies anymore. I started organizing again in 2025

FediCon is partially a result of that

Well that, and getting excited by the Social Web track at FODSEM and then Fediverse House at SXSW.
