@everyone HOSS is looking for someone that has experience with vector graphic design. Give us a shout if you can help out. We want to get our logo vectorized (png->svg) so we can start to make some sweet sweet swag.
@everyone USERS OF RUST PROGRAMS I want to do a speical day on the Rust program ecosystem. I need 2-3 other users of Rust applications to give lightening talks on those Rust applications. The more the merrier. This can be a tui, a graphical utility, a command line utility. Etc. Here are a list of applications written in Rust. https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust You do not have to be a rust programmer.
I'd like to cover zola and how it can help people. Unless anyone else wants to cover Zola. I feel it's a great application. We need other users of Rust applications to make a named and marketable day. Anyone want to do a lightening talk on git-cliff, ripgrep, uutils? etc? Let's make this happen!

@everyone The website grew the resources for Social Outings, check out what we have in the works now. https://houstonopensourcesociety.com/socials. Consider it a sneak peak; 2026 will be the year of HOSS.
@everyone Thanks to everyone for making HomeOps, our first event at The Ion, a success. We've set the event to recur every six months. But if self-hosting and home labs are a topic you'd like to see covered more than that be sure to drop the input in <#497217746195578892>. Pictures are now up from the event and you can find them here, https://houstonopensourcesociety.com/events/homeops/2025-12-17/ Also, HOSS's next meetup is the first Wednesday in January (Jan 7) which will be at Improving Houston
