Hi,
While at MiniDebConf Hamburg ( https://hamburg2026.mini.debconf.org/ ), I
decided to give a lightning talk. The "slides" are below.
Thanks to our awesome video team, recording is available from
https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2026/MiniDebConf-Hamburg/hamburg2026-86-lightning-talks.lq.webm
(higher quality available there too; my talk was the last/3rd one).
Any feedback is very welcome!
Bye,
Joost
