Honoured to be leading with @pscherbaum the Creation Devroom at 2026.

My open-source roots are Linux/BSD + Postgres/MySQL, but I’ve spent years ranting (lovingly!) about the Linux desktop + open-source Audio/Visual/Graphics tools.

Amazing projects — but they need better docs, better marketing, and easier onboarding.

So excited to help push things forward.

, and much much more!

@mackuba generally I would recommend Postgres although if you want 1000s of concurrent connections then MySQL (multi threaded instead of multi processor) might be a better choice
