@phessler oh, finally some people admit this?
I've been saying this for a while already…

@phessler who's the brave soul who had the guts to say this?

@mmu_man troopers.de/troopers18/agenda/

Which ironically has no information published.

I already have a plan to (lightly) heckle, and encourage publishing the talk asap ;).

@phessler ok.
I'd like to add the schedule next year to Giggity, I'll have to contact them to get an ICS or pentabarf export…

@phessler looks like they use github.com/pretalx/pretalx for the CfP, which can export ICS or XML 😉

@phessler there isn't any live stream, is there?

@phessler We had a discussion at the local Papers We Love meeting about this.

@phessler TIL Manhattan project scientists didn't do science.
@lain @phessler
Can you trust their claims if you can't verify them?

@lain as I understand it, they "mostly" did applied science / engineering.

Huge air quotes.
