Sometimes I am asked what the BSD Cafe is - what service of the BSD Cafe is considered the heart of it all. The BSD Cafe began its journey with the Mastodon instance, and other services gradually followed. For some, it might be the repository of their projects, while for others, it’s the Matrix room where they discuss their passions. For some, it’s the feed reader, for others, a way to know their IP address. There are those who see it as the sticker collected at EuroBSDCon or received by mail. For many, it serves as a base from which to start self-hosting their services on BSD systems, and it remains a gathering place among friends, a space to visit even if one doesn't primarily use it as a home.
Whatever it is for you, thank you. Because I am proud of the BSD Cafe, of what it has become, and of what it represents. In this place, I have forged relationships with people I already knew and met wonderful individuals who share their experiences, ideas, and passions in the true spirit of the BSD Cafe, which is to be positive and constructive. This way, we all grow, learning something new every day.
Whatever the BSD Cafe represents for you, I can tell you what it means to me: a group of friends, regular visitors or not, who exemplify that the world would be a much better place if the spirit adopted in all contexts were the same.
It’s late for #ThankYouTuesday, but I thank you all the same.
