As always, we have two calls this month. The next one is tomorrow, ~25.5 hours from now (9PM US Eastern time). See you there?

Photographers! I have a question. If you were to travel with your fancy camera, and only take one lens with you, what would you bring?

I'm leaving Monday on a trip, and I'm considering narrowing it down to one lens. For context, I have a Canon R5 mirrorless, and a pretty decent selection of lenses. I'm interested in what you'd being regardless of brand though.

Boosts appreciated.

Small cast, more vibes than story, and definitely worth a watch.

@mariatta Agreed, I have taken the subdomain redirect route for a long time (e.g. cfp.example.com -> example.com/actual-cfp-url). See also, for machine-discoverability reasons: https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/pull/4506.

@coreysnipes It is, right? The typewriter-style scroll behavior is something I've been wanting for a while, and this is the best implementation of it that I've found so far.

I've just recently learned about WordGrinder (https://cowlark.com/wordgrinder/), and I like it so far.

From a few more minutes in:

> Your community is like a bus. People get on, people get off. And some people watch the bus go by, and it takes a few go-rounds; a few people talking about how nice the bus is before they decide to try the bus out. You want those people to feel welcome.

This is great stuff. Definitely worth a watch / listen. (I'm not going to do a play-by-play here, but I may post another quote or two.)

@jonafato Colville’s stuff is great. If you’re at all interested in TTRPGs, his Running the Game series is fabulous.
