Matt Arnold @matt@penguicon.social

#penguicon.social is now running Mastodon 3.2.0.

We're having another meeting today of the #penguicon #ubi discussion group.

Let me know if anyone wants to join in the next one, and I'll include you on the Whenisgood.

Virtual Penguicon has begun!
#penguicon

@elplatt @craigmaloney @mwl @Ahuka Are you still interested in doing the Fediverse panel for Virtual #penguicon?

@cwebber are there any adjustments or expansions we could make to the topic that could persuade you to join us?

If you're a #penguicon attendee, the Penguicon Board of Directors wants you to take our #covid19 #coronavirus response survey.

I think I'd like to bring back this interactive fiction of a simulated #penguicon this time as a Mastodon bot. You would enter your commands by at-mentioning the bot, and it would respond with what happens in the simulated Penguicon by replying to you. https://nemorathwald.dreamwidth.org/194930.html

Also, it is with great pleasure that we announce #penguicon does not have to move to Mother's Day weekend after all. The hotel reserved our traditional weekend of May 1 through 3!

On behalf of the #penguicon Board of Directors, congratulations to @Bagel3000 on being elected Conchair for Penguicon 2020!

Penguicon.social, please welcome @karlschroeder, #Penguicon 2010 #sciencefiction Author Guest Of Honor!

I want to say, "Let's give a big penguicon.social welcome, to #Penguicon 2013 Tech Guest Of Honor @mwl Michael W Lucas." But um, given how long @mwlucas has been on #Mastodon, I kind of feel like he's welcoming us. :D

@brainwane It was wonderful to talk to you when you were a guest of honor at #Penguicon! Our convention now runs a Mastodon server for our attendees and featured guests, and it is a pleasure to discover that you are in the Fediverse. Hi!

OK #Penguicon people, I have been planning this a long time.

With Keybase, you can connect your accounts on different services, to prove you are who you say you are. Today #Keybase integrated penguicon.social as one of those services.

You don't have to wait for #birdsite staff to prove you are "Verified". I don't have to make my username therealmattarnold.

In the above post, I proved I'm MattArnold on Github, nemorathwald on Reddit, & matt_arnold on Hacker News.
