These non-technical conversations have been one of the most striking differences between the open source frontend and web tooling conferences I've attended and the open network community here at ATmosphereConf. If we really care about the long-term health of our ecosystem, we should learn from them.
What may be the most heartening part of #AtmosphereConf, besides the community, is that it's a *technical* conference at which people present on politics, authoritarianism, epistemic challenges (in the opening keynote!).
Because, for technologists, *that's* the job.
