When you submit your talk, make sure to select "Project Meeting: Flux" under Topic/Track.

You do *not* need to be an expert or long time user to contribute! If you have a talk related to scheduling or practical experiences that would solicit good discussion, we'd love to have you! 💙

And a fun Easter egg! At the SC Gelato Club event in a group picture www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I'm looking down at something. That something is the HPC social sticker, our retro 80's and ninja turtle inspired dinosaur! I was lost in my head for a second enjoying his sparkle. ✨

Thank you! 🙏

The automation is neat - filling out a web form opens a GitHub issue. A maintainer can label the issue with "approve-event" and it triggers a workflow that updates and deploys the calendar and closes the issue.

Please provide discussion and feedback here 👉 github.com/hpc-social/h....

It is the greatest form of expression! 🥰

If we only live once we should find joy in work, support those we care about, emanate laughter, run hard, bike far, and push ourselves to be stronger and more kind, and dance the $#%! out of it all! 😎

There are things to regret. Dancing is not one of them.
