Are there any @nextjs.org experts out there who would be interested in helping migrate the adoptium.net site from Gatsby to Next.js. They’d need experience with i18n as well as mdx/asciidoc for content generation. @adoptium.net is an open source project and any help would be much appreciated!

Looking after these two lovely doggies in the sun 🐶☀️

Today I had a very productive day - 🔒Implemented security fixes on Adoptium website ✅ - 📚Reviewed another chapter of a book I’m working on ✅ - 🗣️Submitted 5 CFP’s to lots of Java/OSS conferences ✅ - 🐛Fixed a bug in some code that was annoying me ✅ - 📈Completely caught up with dependabot upgrades ✅

I do miss gifs, for now here’s some emojis to show how much I miss them 🤷🏻‍♂️🌠😢

Me every time I see a Twitter friend post their BlueSky account: **Gif of Boston terrier running back and forth across a rug** I can't wait til we can use gifs here - I need gifs in my life on this app. 😂

Can you sort the website next so that it renders links correctly? For some reason it only works on the mobile app. Also please fix notifications on iOS, for some reason my notifications aren’t coming through

📢 1.22 update - Alt text can now be up to 1000 characters - Dark mode now darker for you OLED fans - More performance improvements and bugfixes, especially for android but on all platforms as well

Stepping on a Lego piece is one of the most painful experiences. My poor foot.

🌐 #BlueSky is a game-changer in social media! ⚡️ Built on cutting-edge decentralised technology, it utilises #blockchain, #IPFS, and open standards like #ActivityPub to empower users. 🔓 No central authority, better privacy, and robust content delivery! #Web3 #DecentralizationTech

long term, with fully portable user accounts, your continued use of our services would be a vote of confidence in us. not a hostage situation where you lose all your friends and creations if you leave. this is set up to be a federated republic, not a walled-off empire.

Who here would like to see an Adoptium account for sharing release updates etc? I can make it happen if people think it would be useful. #adoptium #temurin #openjdk https://adoptium.net/
