Home! (so I'll change my name that I'm not at #SQLBITS anymore 😋)
The traintrip back (London st pancras to The Hague) went so much smoother than the way there (last minute change in plans and delays) , or a few weeks ago when I went home from a UK trip as well (got home 3hrs later than planned)

I'm in a talk by Bob Duffy. on automating star schemas to data warehouses, and if I don't go to any other talk today #SQLBITS was a success. It's AMAZING. Such high information density, but so clear and understandable.

I'm at #SQLbits, a data conference. So I am learning many important things, like that baby dragons are called draglets!
Coined by @jpomfret.co.uk, who got asked about this by her nephew. This is now The Truth, as far af I'm concerned.

Proper update you can all find on linkedin, but the tl;dr : the toilet situation is still unclear, and I'm open for some DEI consulting during SQLbits, in exchange for donations to causes helping transgender people. Feel free to send me a message if you want to set something up. #SQLfamily
I'm glad i forgot to update here that Simon from @sqlbits.bsky.social told me that they would have unisex toilets , cause at 11:30pm Friday i got an email that they don't. In the wrong email chain. From the general contact-us email without a name signing off.
I am sad and disappointed I had to post this today, #SQLfamily... Please read, please share <3
TL;DR @sqlbits.bsky.social say they are all for diversity, but if they have to actually DO or say something to make sure trans attendees and speakers feel safe at their conference, they... don't.
