Hosted a BiCon pre-meet yesterday, online. Conveniently there were exactly 12 people there for most of it (not counting me), perfect for dividing into threes! I kept switching the groups so that people could meet different people.
We talked about how we'd each like BiCon to be, and how we could make it more likely to turn out that way.
Top tips: get enough sleep, eat enough food, and don't try to do everything!
Then we also talked about what contribution we might like to make - though I also said, just being there and being friendly and making BiCon more varied is a contribution in itself :-)
Several of the people who'd come along turned out to be already signed up to offer workshop sessions, so we heard a little bit about those.
Two tasks currently available if you want one are (a) keeping an eye on the Zoom setup for the hybrid events, (b) leafleting at Pride on Saturday, so that more people know about BiCon for Sunday. There's usually also opportunities to assist with being welcoming at reception.
In-person BiCon starts tomorrow, and runs Friday till Sunday. The venue is a couple of buildings belonging to the girls' high school, in between the Forest and the Arboretum. I tagged along for a site visit the other day and I think it's pretty good for air quality.
Apparently about 70 people have booked so far. It's also possible to buy a ticket on the day, so that might not be the final total.
As I reminded people last night, you don't have to be bi to come to BiCon! And if you _are_ bi, you don't have to be any particular amount of bi :-)

Re: Niri WM
So yes:
- You can open applications on specific workspaces and switch focus there immediately
- Not only dynamic, but also 'declared' workspaces are possible (I've got my 9 easily set up)
- There is a one-stop config file that's human readable
- The wiki will have some quirks probably, but in general very clear and quite extensive already
- My favorite tool: 'niri validate', super simple double-check if your config will w…

Vincent Scardina supported Donald Trump’s tough stance on immigration at the ballot box.
But that decision came back to bite the roofing boss when ICE detained a third of his workforce.
The six men, all from Nicaragua, were pulled over in a work truck on May 27 while heading to a job
—and carted off to jail.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office,
deputies helped transport the men to a local detention facility
“for deportation.”
