Sorry for missing tonight's call, sysadmin stuff kept me working late. Hope you had a good chat, and I look forward to catching up via the blog & Discord! I'll be happy to present something in December if you want me to.

Hi @loleg! No worries at all. We'll be updating the blog, but if you're eager to dive deeper into the technical presentation and/or watch the whole hangout, here you go:

Of course, you're always welcome to present something and I'm sure we'll have time to go through your updates as we have a presentation that should last roughly up to 30 minutes in the next call. Hopefully let's see each other on December 17, same time (we'll be posting more details as usual) :wink:.
