Continuing to build out community programs for the OpenSearch Project, and OpenSearch Software Foundation.
- Continue to build out my User Groups program for the OpenSearch Project. The latest addition is the ORGANIZERS.md I've built to show each group, in alphabetical order by city, with the co-organizers and their details.
- Currently enjoying nearly 2 months of no travel. Its been a wild ride so far this, folx! As of July I have already flown more than 80k miles. Current work trips are always here.
Personal
- Dawn and I had a great time at our booth for Ghosts of Summer - it was a blast to see so many people come by to see SpookyHousePNW and our two amazing friends in full costume.
- Making as much plum jam as we have time for! Dawn also made red plum BBQ sauce - its so good.
- We've made good progress this year on clearing out weeds and putting down ground covering and wood chips in the garden. I've made a goal of completing this before winter. Wish me luck.
- Catch up on making my photos public on my Flickr account. (months worth of events to catch up on)
