Dreaming of a structured wisp future, from the talk

Morgan's out sick! And yet Morgan is still in this episode! And that's because this episode is the audio version of a talk by the very same name from FOSDEM 2022, co-presented by Christine and Morgan! But since Morgan isn't here, Christine fills in, and also gets a bit silly.

HACK AND CRAFT SCHEME TUTORIALS! The last live scheme tutorial went really well! And relatedly, Christine and the Spritely Institute just published A Scheme Primer, which is more or less the text version of that presentation! The next live verison of the sheme tutorial will be hosted at Hack & Craft! Come this Saturday, July 16, 2pm-4pm ET (6pm-8pm UTC)! We're planning to record this one!

Oh, and bonus Fructure gif:

There's a quiet hum of activity in the spaces where code meets clay, where shared patterns build both software and sweaters. FOSS and Crafts lives in that overlap, exploring the tangible connections between free and open-source software and the hands-on world of making. Each episode is a conversation that wanders from the philosophy of shared source code to the practical joys of knitting, woodworking, electronics, or any craft fueled by community and open knowledge. You'll hear from people who see little distinction between contributing to a software project and preserving a traditional skill; both are acts of care passed along. This podcast digs into how these parallel cultures solve problems, welcome newcomers, and sustain themselves not through scarcity but through abundance. It’s for anyone who has ever felt the satisfaction of fixing something with a well-placed line of code or a perfectly sewn stitch, and who believes the best things are often made together. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that are less about tutorials and more about the underlying spirit of creation, all while keeping your hands busy.
