A new team is announced.

I'm sure it won't be a complete disaster.

I wasn't wild about the platform they used this past year. It was clunky, I had an easier time finding my way around the Stata Center (T-H-L) than the "virtual buildings" they used.

After two years of remote work/school and the building out of tech and processes for managing this, I suspect the WeMakeFailures team will still manage to utterly fuck this up.

Wow, look!

There is no in-person opportunity in Kazakhstan, even though Jimbo once said that things were really going great for The Movement there.

And, what a surprise -- there are at least 2 times more in-person event locations in West Africa than there are in the entire United States. This WMF Movement truly is all about the Third World and Global South... not off-balance white males in the Western World.

Crank up the tunes and ROCK OUT, everybody!

It's all about who's putting in requests for $$$$$$$$.

I'd like to see all the in-person junketeering nonsense wiped out, personally.

It's one of the shittiest looking things the WMF does.

It's also one of the most effective cult member retention tools it has available.

you have to have a virtual ticket, but it is free. I got one but I don't know that I will have the time to actually attend any of it.
