Earlier quoted context omitted.

> something can you elaborate?

Monthly lunches? Meet up to play a tabletop game? Go for a hike? Have a group receive a tech presentation once a quarter? Lots of options, most just take your time and emails/contacting possibly interested folks.

I think the biggest issue here is "possibly interested folks". although I'll keep that as a food for thought.

So will this be the year of the Linux desktop?

Nope, I’ve been informed it’s the year of the dragon. Looking at the list, there doesn’t seem to be a year of the Linux desktop.

HNY to everyone here. While I don’t agree with some of you this is probably one of the finest communities left on the net. Hat tip to you all.

Time to ship 2024 to production. Happy new year, fellow hackers. May your code always work on the first try and never regress.

It feels more like an eternal beta to be honest.

I'm fairly confident that yes, this will be the year of the Linux desktop:

2024 = 20 | 24

20 x 3 + 16 = 76, which is the ASCII value of 'L'.

24 x 3 + 12 = 84, which is the ASCII value of 'T'.

= LT = Linux Torvalds

The 6th 'Happy new year' submission today made it. The first 5 from other users didn't get enough upvotes. You won the karma lottery.

It takes some time for the New Year to build up momentum, starting from the international date line.
