Philip Durbin (Jan 25 2026 at 23:49): Philip Durbin (Jan 25 2026 at 23:49):When should we meet in February? Sunday, Feb 8th? 7pm? Hamilton? I'm open to other ideas!
Philip Durbin (Jan 30 2026 at 00:15):@Dan what do you think? Should we toot about it?
Dan (Jan 31 2026 at 03:59):Yeah that date works for me.
Dan (Jan 31 2026 at 04:08):Ready to toot when you confirm.
Philip Durbin (Jan 31 2026 at 04:15):Confirmed! I just updated the website.
Dan (Jan 31 2026 at 05:06):https://floss.social/@bostonopen/115987971375313959
Philip Durbin (Jan 31 2026 at 13:35):Perfect! Thanks!
Philip Durbin (Jan 31 2026 at 18:39):Shoot. What about the Super Bowl? It's at 6:30
Dan (Jan 31 2026 at 18:58):Lol
Philip Durbin (Jan 31 2026 at 19:45):Let it ride or reschedule?
Dan (Jan 31 2026 at 20:27):Is there a table in the corner with no TV?
Dan (Jan 31 2026 at 20:28):Actually how many of our people would skip because they want to watch the game? It may be nonzero.
Philip Durbin (Jan 31 2026 at 21:48):Hmm, I'd be happy to have a TV around to watch the game a bit. And see if the commercials are any good. I would consider even getting to Hamilton in time for the kickoff.
I don't mean to say I'd be glued to the TV. But I'd be happy to have it on while chatting.
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:09):Will we get a seat though?
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:11):People will be cheering for a touchdown.
Me: "WHAAAT? SAY THAT AGAIN?"
Phil: "I'M TRYING OUT A NEW TOOL TO MANAGE MY DOT FILES."
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:12):If we can get a seat I'm all for it it'll be funny.
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:12):I just worry about getting a seat.
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:13):Actually is any team playing that Bostonians will care about? That will affect things.
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:14):
Philip Durbin (Feb 01 2026 at 02:26):Ha, my daughter and I watched the Patriots/Broncos game together. It was fun!
Philip Durbin (Feb 01 2026 at 02:28):The problem with the next Sunday, Feb 15th, is that it's Presidents' Day weekend.
Dan (Feb 01 2026 at 02:35):People are on trips?
Philip Durbin (Feb 01 2026 at 03:25):ski trips? who knows
Philip Durbin (Feb 01 2026 at 17:26):Anyway, I'm fine with letting it ride. Again, maybe I'll show up at more like 6:30 to watch the kickoff. If there aren't that many of us there should be room at the bar.
Dan (Feb 02 2026 at 14:24):Aw man the Patriots are playing?
Dan (Feb 02 2026 at 21:12):Yeah fine with me. I think I'll make a little toot about it as well, for humor if nothing else.
Dan (Feb 02 2026 at 21:12):But we should be sure.
Philip Durbin (Feb 02 2026 at 23:51):Ha, yes, the Pats are playing.
Sorry, sure about what now?
Dan (Feb 03 2026 at 02:38):If we're committing to letting it ride I will post something funny about it on Mastodon.
Philip Durbin (Feb 03 2026 at 12:14):sure! go for it :smile:
Dan (Feb 03 2026 at 16:36):Can you wear your GNU hat?
Philip Durbin (Feb 03 2026 at 23:01):sure!
Dan (Feb 04 2026 at 01:27):https://floss.social/@bostonopen/116009756329690544
Philip Durbin (Feb 04 2026 at 12:25):ha, nice, thanks
Philip Durbin (Feb 06 2026 at 01:45):So! Who's coming to our open source/Super Bowl :american_football: meetup on Sunday? :tada:
If you think you'll be there, please give a :thumbs_up: so when they ask how big of a table we need, we can tell them (if we can get a table).
Again, officially, we're meeting at 7pm at Hamilton but I'll probably get there early and hang out at the bar for the kickoff at 6:30. As always, details can be found at https://bostonopen.dev . Hope you can make it!

Dan (Feb 08 2026 at 23:31):I should be there close to 7
Pete (Feb 08 2026 at 23:33):Hamilton line reaching outside
Philip Durbin (Feb 08 2026 at 23:40):Hamilton is too busy. Pete and I are finding another place
Philip Durbin (Feb 08 2026 at 23:48):We're at Maruichi Select for the moment
Philip Durbin (Feb 08 2026 at 23:48):Across from CVS and the Coolidge Corner Theater
Dan (Feb 08 2026 at 23:56):Wow
Philip Durbin (Feb 09 2026 at 00:19):We ended up at Otto

Dan (Feb 09 2026 at 16:35):Regarding the birth of Bluesky, this is the Twitter interaction I mentioned with Webber and Dorsey. Also looks like it involves Sullivan formerly from the FSF:

Also may want to look at Webber's further comment:

Dan (Feb 09 2026 at 16:37):Jack calls it "Bluesky" somewhere in his thread.
Philip Durbin (Feb 10 2026 at 02:13):You're right. "We’re calling this team @bluesky." -- https://nitter.net/jack/status/1204766095988576256#m
