We made it out of January!

Welcome to the end of the week. What did we learn this week? That ChatCPT is going commercial, and so is the Twitter API.

I've been preparing for FOSDEM this week - I'll be talking about Rosegarden on Sunday. Please join me either in person or online.

Have a great weekend,
