Made it to FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels this year. Great to see some old friends and catch up while hopping between talks. I also gave a presentation about django-resume, a small Django app I wrote for CV management. You can check out both the slides and the video recording of the talk (included in the original post - link in the first comment):
