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 are currently getting things together for our booth at Ghosts of Summer - it will be a lot of fun to show our home haunt, SpookyHousePNW there.
- The plums are ripe so it's time to make a ton of jam and call all our local friends and neighbors to come pick what they can eat!
- 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.
