Kibble Interest at FOSDEM

2023-02-07 Thread sharanf

Hi All

I was at FOSDEM over the weekend and managed to attend the CHAOSSCon on 
the Friday before it. I got a bit lost - but eventually found the room - 
where they were doing some brainstorming of how people are using metrics 
and any gaps they see. The more I see of CHAOSS .- the more I really 
want Kibble to be part of it. :-)


On Saturday and Sunday at the ASF booth I ended up chatting to quite a 
few people about Kibble (All the Kibble stickers went too!) and they 
were really interested. I did mention that the project was a little 
stalled waiting for a little re-boot so we may get some visitors, 
questions, potential contributors etc coming up as a result of that.


Thanks
Sharan
