Additional Information

Celeste is a file synchronization program, written in Rust for Linux desktop systems. It can sync to a wide variety of cloud platforms, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Proton Drive (and more to come!). Celeste fills in a gap that hasn't yet been filled in the Linux ecosystem, and it aims to succeed in closing that gap to create a better file experience for everyone on a Linux desktop.

[!NOTE] Celeste is still beta software, but works outside of some rough edge cases and is already finding great success among its users.

I want to talk about my experience working not only on Celeste, but also open-source in general as a college student. This is the area I found myself starting my programming journey with, and I'd love to talk about the road I've traveled as well as the lessons and benefits I've seen along the way.

I have to back out of this, sadly - I'm getting out of school now and I haven't had a ton of time to work on Celeste up to this point. I wouldn't say Celeste is where I'm wanting it to be, especially in regards to showcasing it for the public.

I hope to come back to doing this sometime in the future, but it doesn't look like that time will be right now :(

I remember making a calendar invite you guys had opened for this a while back, but I can't seem to find it now... Would one of you guys be able to remove me from it?
