Was in Gandhinagar last weekend for [Open Source Day 2026](https://osd.opensourceweekend.org/), where I gave a talk in the community track: “Lessons from building a devtool community,” mostly drawing from my time working at [marimo](https://marimo.io/). The talk went fine, but the day had some roughness I wasn’t expecting. My session ran more than an hour late because the keynote sesions overran, and by the time the community track resumed, the room had already thinned out. The keynotes themselves were _uneven_: the first kept switching languages, the other had moments that sat oddly given that a speaker CoC had been circulated to everyone beforehand… Full writeup here: [My experience at Open Source Day 2026 | Haleshot](https://haleshot.github.io/posts/osd-2026-experience/) Curious to know what folks who attended this event think about it…
