Ja, dat verbaasde mij ook! Ik verwachtte steeds dat iemand haar zou afbreken, "verbeteren" of in de rede vallen.

Party for 1st year students near my house. All r singing "Let it go" from the top of their lungs. First thought: oh that is cute, they are singing a children's song. Then realisation hit: the song came out in 2013 when most of them were 5/6 years old. It is their childhood song! Feeling my age now.

Day 1 is a wrap! We had an amazing opening of @interspeech.bsky.social, followed by a well-attended General Assembly where I stepped down as ISCA President. The moment was a little emotional to me. Serving our amazing community for 8 years has been so rewarding.

Correct. And thus perfect for online conferences. One could think that it would also be good for hybrid conferences. We looked into it, but making an in person conference such as Interspeech hybrid would double the costs for A/V and venue. We had not expected this but had to decide against hybrid.

Odette Scharenborg @odettes.bsky.social · Aug 3

Please note that although I am quite aware of what is happening in the US, it is impossible for me/ us not in the US to understand the full extent of what is happening which makes it also harder to see what kind of actions might be needed from us or what we could do.
