OpenNews is 15 and feeling feisty! So, we threw a party for everyone at #SRCCON with pizzas, piñatas, dancing, ice cream cake, a photo booth and t-shirt printing! But now, in the cold light of day, we have to pay the bills (i.e. do more nice things for journalists). Help us out with a $15 gift!

OpenNews turns 15! 🥳

There are many journalism organizations, but @opennews.bsky.social does unique things like meal stipends to help build new connections between journalists and technologists. Sessions at SRCCON are also more wide-ranging and purposely more interactive for attendees: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

I’m speaking @opennews.bsky.social SRCCON next week! Join @joe.germuska.com and me for a chat about open source journalism—what it is, how it’s useful, and how we can encourage more of it. We’re the last session on Thursday, so don’t miss it!

In cheerier news, is anyone else going to SRCCON? I’ll be co-presenting on Thursday morning about applying lessons from reporters in Global Majority countries, especially conflict-affected and resource-scarce environments. It’s my first time in MN and I’m so excited!

I can't make it to SRCCON but if you're in Minneapolis, this is a can't-miss chat! I've always believed that good journalism, like good science, should be replicable and scalable; I'm so excited to see my colleagues Emilia and Joe lead this discussion.

TIL about the Mobile Bookstore Society themobilebookstoresociety.com and it immediately made me glow that such a thing exists “72 builders and dreamers, growing every week” h/t @emiliaruzicka.bsky.social and this is why I love #SRCCON so dearly 💖 @opennews.bsky.social

This is my first time at SRCCON but it seems rad. There is MORE THAN ONE session on zines. 🤓 🎨 📖 Come catch me and say hi! 👋🏼

The SRCCON lanyard is this type and I am very excited to use it on another winter jacket.

I just figured out how to use a leftover lanyard from a conference as backpack straps on a puffy winter coat when I'm overheated while traveling or shopping indoors.

Fine day for a road trip to #srccon w/ @joe.germuska.com

Don't worry, folks. We took care of the candy curious st SRCCON with three piñatas from wonderful Minneapolis shop, Fiesta Mexicana y Mas. Go support them! Win, win, win: support a local business, we all got tons of goodies and I bought my Halloween candy early this year.

People are intrigued by my small backpack full of Canadian candy at SRCCON.
